Camp ALH – Haiku Series: Day 2

BAYWATCH LAGOON DJ PARTY
Whirlpools and juicies????
Stuck in the middle with you????
Whoa! How mind blowing!

OUCH MY FACE
Cute, small girl singer
Tears into the microphone
With ungodly screams.

While Big Black-style bass
Thunders on behind her, I
discover true love.

DHDFDS
Exactly how the
Red Hot Chili Peppers were
At around sixteen.

Topless and feisty,
With a fetish for slap bass
And jumping on amps.

But seriously:
Their singer even gave the
Stage frame a blowjob.

OVER THE ATLANTIC
Playing live on the
Radio is never fun
Its just so awkward!

Fortunately, they
Dreamed their way through 80s pop
With the utmost charm

TEACUPS
The serenity!
Watching these three angels sing
About things such as

Harry Potter books,
Swimming with fish (in French! BABE.)
And, of course, magic.

Set by the lagoon,
Their gentle plea for money
Was cute, coy and sweet.

BRAINS
Three Dunedin boys
Doing it renegade style,
Making destruction

If they were tighter
They would have ruled something rad.
Wondrous blasts of noise.

MY DISCO
Steve Albini said:
‘My Disco, I want you to
take my nasty bass.

Then add guitar that
will render people numb with
fear, awe, angst and joy’.

And thus, My Disco
played flawlessly, intensely,
And I think I came.

BIG FLIP THE MASSIVE
Mars Volta outcasts
Proclaimed as ’simply too good’
Booked for the lagoon

But found no power
Thus, they set up in the lounge
And blew all our minds.

TOECUTTER
Armed with 2K9
Patterned sunglasses, his loud,
Glitchy technorave

Was bettered only
By the opening of his
leotard. NUDE RAVE.

SHERPA
Massive rock poses,
Searing guitar solos, and
Post-punk rhythm- yum!

This day was quite warm
Like Chronicles of Riddick
The sun was hot, aye.
