This was and still is the biggest gig that Purge have ever
played to date, They had already won their heat to be entered into the final of
the competition with one of the judges saying that, “Purge were tighter than a
dolphin’s arsehole”. The night was full of anticipation I personally couldn’t
wait, the full Purge fan base must have turned out for this gig as when the
band were performing I could not move.

The band was up against two other bands, A Joker’s Rage and
Boomin and they drew the end slot, they had to close the show, instead of this
they opened a show of their own, for me Purge was the show. This was
truly one of the best gigs of my life topped off with a full on mosh pit and a
cracking performance from the mighty Purge.

All tricks and trades were pulled out by the band Haiden
played out of his skin, the band was so tight it was almost like a pre recorded
gig and it was all mimed on the stage, the sound wasn’t the best although from
the way Purge played you wouldn’t have been able to tell. And throughout the
full gig I don’t think I seen one single member of the band or the fan base
without a smile on their face.

Unfortunately the band were runners up in the competition
although they did gain a lot of notoriety through it, meaning they have secured
a gig at Mockfest hosted by Real XS radio station, one of Manchesters biggest
festivals this year. CRACKING NIGHT
