Having bands play a house party show is an extremely mixed experience. On one hand there’s no security guards, no set times and the booze is way cheaper. On the other hand: the cops will shut you down pretty well immediately, but not before some drunk dickhead reckons this is the perfect opportunity to show everyone that he can sing (*Ron Howard voice* he can’t).
Getting your fave band to play your house party is the actual dream, I still pray daily to the Party God that DZ Deathrays will tear a literal hole in my tiny apartment with their party thrash oeuvre, but I reckon offering them a twenty to play to the 15 people who can fit in my living room is probably off the cards.
Luckily, thanks to the majestic beauty of social media, if you’re game you can just straight up ask them – I mean, you’ve got nothing to lose right? Well, sort of.
This brave punter decided to get right down to biscuits and ask dangerous duo Peking Duk if they wanted to take his house party to the next level, which is pretty astounding, considering he already was planning to have fire twirlers and strippers (side note: this anonymous dude is 16, which makes this a bit fucked up).
Have a look:
Whoever this 16 year old is who a) has got $2000 to pay a band to play a party that he anticipates a lot of people will show up to and b) is getting laid, he is deadset the exact opposite of me as a teenager.
Either Reuben Styles or Adam Hyde or both responded appropriately, posting it to their Facebook and replying “no deal bro where’s the fkn fairy bread”, on account of it ain’t a party if there is no goddamn fairy bread.
Well done to that cashed up, hard partying teen for giving it a red hot go and well done to Peking Duk for not endorsing underage drinking.
