I still can't hear, my neck hurts from jumping around to Black Betty and I have a bruise on my ass from falling on the steps.
In a nutshell, that sums up Spiderbait's Perth concert at Metro City perfectly.

It's no news-flash that Spiderbait rock, as any fan of the trio will know, and on Saturday night fans were not disappointed.
Playing in front of roughly 2000 energy-fueled patrons at Metro City, when the first chord thumped through our hearts it was on for young and (in my case) old.
Spiderbait worked through a full set including the favourites like Calypso and Buy Me a Pony but it was You're F****** Awesome that revved the crowd up another gear.
Kram (drummer/singer Mark Maher) brought an air of cool rock-god greatness and even after Spiderbait left the stage the fans knew the gig wasn't over yet.
We were all waiting for it, they knew it, we knew it.
BLACK BETTY.
To our screams for more, out they came and begun a long build up to that well-known twang.
And that' how I suddenly found myself jumping and thrashing my head around and sharing shoulder sweat with a tattooed 40-something dad next to me.
I think I even pulled out a two-finger rock salute.
I'm cringing just thinking about it now, but it was Black Betty!
I'm not even sure how to describe it other than thrash pop at its absolute loudest and best.
The Spiderbait crowd was super cool, there was no agro but there was a plethora of beards and a mixture of ages.
Everyone was there to appreciate and admire another rocking Spiderbait live performance.
Thank you Janet, Kram and Whit – you guys know how to entertain.
