With the duo heading into our home turf to play a gig at Beach Road Hotel in Bondi, there was no way that we weren’t tagging along for the action. See the preperation, the madness and the aftermath of a Cut Snake gig right here:
The lads get upstairs to their room at the Beach Road Hotel, right upstairs from where they’ll be playing a gig tonight. The short stumble home just got much, much easier. Also, salute to Barney Cools for the complimentary gift bag waiting on the boys’ pillows. So cute.
Chicken parmigianas all around! Is there anything in this world better than melted cheese on crumbed chicken? Nope. #PARMISFORTHEBOYS
It hits 5:00pm which means that ‘work’ is over and it’s time for some brews. Being Queenslanders, the lads order XXXX – we’re not sure how we feel about this. It’s almost like we’re preparing for the State of Origin via alcohol intake. #FOOTY #BRINGBACKJOEYJOHNS
The whole squad and one impressive beard on Brett the manager.
Here at Life Without Andy, we aim to be a family-friendly site with content for all ages. That’s why we can’t discuss some of Cut Snake’s stories and videos from Holy Ship. If you want to know what it’s like to get loose on the ocean, watch this YouTube recap, do a beer bong and pretend you were there.
Beverage in one hand, soundcheck with the other. How’s your multitasking game?
Changing your name from CUTSNAKE to CUNTSNAKE? Comedic genius at it’s finest.
This just might be the most Australian photograph of all time. #SICKUNTS #MADCUNTS #OICUNTS #CUNTS
Finding music in bed. Cool sheets though, shoutout to Beach Road for their very swaggy linen game.
Sedz with the gnarly facial expression as tonight’s tracks get finalised.
Fish finds the ladies next door for a crucial pre-gig family portrait.
Party time. We’re not sure if Beach Road is ready for this.
If you stand in the front row, you get free beers. That’s how democracy works. Fish giving us a visual explanation of how to drink alcohol moderately. #SHARINGISCARING
Oh lord. And now the shoeies have started. Fish shows his inner Huey and goes straight for an old pair of Vans instead of a schooner glass. #themadshoey
Okay, everybody settle down. The boys are back on the decks and it’s time for business. There’s work to be done here…
Fuck it, time for a crowd surf.
Fish brings his girlfriend’s mother onstage so that she can show Beach Road punters how to cut some serious shapes. Cut Snake bring out the best in everybody.
Wearing a denim vest with no shirt underneath is such a strong look. Bonus points if you have chest hair and a Dadbod, gold medal if your denim vest is a second hand purchase from a sketchy garage sale.
Heartwarming stuff here.
We catch up with the lads the next day, and they are surprisingly chirpy considering how loose things got last night. They decide to cure their hangovers by hacking their manager’s Facebook and looking at our flicks from the gig – this always does the trick.
The boys get stuck into a Skype interview with George FM all the way in New Zealand. They name their Top Five tracks at the moment, including their own ‘Jungle Shrimp‘. #SUBTLEPLUG
Fish hacks into a bucket of fish and chips. The irony is delicious, crispy and battered.
We strut like N’Sync down Bondi Beach, up Campbell Parade and out of Bondi. Cheers to Cut Snake for always showing us a savage time and the true meaning of YOLO. Catch the lads resurrecting the party in a town near you soon.
