I scored my dream job at Rolling Stone when I was in my second year at uni. After interviewing cool Aussie bands, reviewing events, and getting drunk with the stars at countless after parties for three years, I thought it was time to pursue a serious career. So I got a job in advertising. I lasted six months. These days, my life is all about magazines. I even started my own pop culture publication, Corker, to feed my addiction. When I’m not working, I’m partying (usually with free drinks!). Life is sweet.

The 'Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt!' will make you dance. No, I take that back. The 'Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt!' will force you to dance. They’ll even coerce you to lie down on the floor of a club while they sing to you.
Okay, so a couple drinks may have been consumed before the latter happened to me at the Diesel:U:Music event at Oxford Art Factory last week, but, in my defence, this band from the US and international winner of the Diesel music comp, is very persuasive.
How could the crowd stay still when the band members were erratically jumping around (on and off the stage, through groups of punters, against people who wouldn’t move)? How can anyone turn down a dance offered by someone wearing a crazy animal costume (refer to pic above)?
Only a party pooper would say no. And, fortunately for 'The Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt!', the small portion of party poopers that were at the OAF that night ran away and hid in the corners while the band took over the dance floor.
So now you can understand why, when frontman Neil Fridd asked us all to lay down on a ground covered with spilt drinks and shoe dirt, we complied. Anyone who wears a tiger print top with blue short shorts deserves that kind of respect.
