; It was a scene out of hell . On stage The Halifax-Dartmouth Ferries peeled through their set like a well oiled sea bird . Down front were 20 , 30 , who knows , maybe a hundred , ageing teenage zombie punks . Dressed in black satin jackets , and running flick combs through their jet black duck tails , it could only be one posse , The Drinky Birds . A rougue dance squad outta the Ottawa Bytown Billionairs Hockey Club with a thirst for Keiths beer and mock violence .
The Ferries held the high ground , the stage , for 5 or 6 tunes . We was honouring ( guilty , Your Honour ) Doo Wop . It was noisy to be sure .Cacophonous , would be kind . The one hour of rehearsal was NOT ENOUGH REHEARSAL . But none of that mattered now , because the stage was set , and the rumble was on . The Drinky Birds came looking for trouble and that's exactly what they got . They stormed the stage like so many sore old men digging in the back of a pick up truck for a crowbar . Eventually they made it up . Knife - combs were produced , wrists were tied together and to the unfunkiest Beat It imaginable , white T's blossomed crimson red with blood . ( fake blood mind , something the Billionaires concocted involving creme da cassis and urine ) . The horror ; Ferry Hilliard was tossed from the stage as if he was some dude wearing a skin tight gold lame sock hop suit . Which he was . Rob Pierce and Carl Gosine tried to dance for peace but were pushed too far . Carls giant afro wig serving as a rallying point for agro . Murph took a thirty tooth comb to the generous belly . Rolly was swinging for the fences . Microphone stands swung in all directions and may have displaced a tooth or two . From the drums it was a terrible / hilarious sight .During Rock and Roll Is Here To Stay , and led by that evil little bastard elf , Blake Jacobs , all hell broke loose . There was much shoving , hurling of insults and some of the most jive turkey dancing you never wanted to see . Pure anarchy . Watch for youtube scenes that will Shock .
