One Night at Crash n Burn

Crash n Burn was a dingy dive bar in the centre of Brisbane, set below ground level beneath a bunch of shops and with a very low roof.  It was the venue for many an awesome gig, whether it was international touring bands, national tours for well known bands, or just showcasing local talent.  On sweltering summer afternoons it would host all ages punk shows and sweat would drip from the ceiling because the kids couldn't help but mosh hard.  Unfortunately it closed down to make way for a strip club in the late 90s (which it still is today sadly!) I spent many an afternoon and evening there, and met many people who are still my very good friends. If I didn't actually meet you there, I probably hung out with you there at least once or saw your band play there.  The staff were great, a lot like a big family and towards the end I was family enough to give the guys a hand cleaning up before grabbing a cab home in the morning daylight.  I even had my 21st birthday party there!

As good as all the bands were, and I did see hundreds, I also enjoyed staying around afterwards for the great tunes that would be played til dawn.  I loved dancing so much, although you would probably call it jumping up and down or skanking or headbanging rather than dancing.  So with my rose coloured glasses firmly on and a disclaimer that I take no responsibility for accuracy to a particular year or night (some of these songs may only have been played if I was there and requested them - thanks Stef), here is a tracklist for a night at Crash n Burn after the bands have packed up, hope you enjoy this little trip back in time....
