Big Boy Shorts Reunion


Big Boy Shorts was a fun band we formed just to have fun. The band members was Ronny Rocka (Guitar), Max Splodge (Vocals) and the fabulous The Heavy Metal Kids rhythm section, Ronnie Thomas (Bass) and Keith Boyce (Drums). The photos are of a rare Big Boy Shorts reunion that took place during a Splodge gig at The Horse and Groom Brighton, 22nd Nov 2007. Towards the end of the Splodge set, Max requested on the mic to the mainly punk crowd, for Ronnie and Keith to get up and play a old HMK song. After a few wispers they worked out that they where blind drunk and could not remember anything, so they settled on 'Squalidly Inn' a HMK song which some members remembered the first chord and Big Boy Shorts song called 'Big Boy Shorts' with a grand total of 3 chords they managered to remember and play in the right order, pleasing the crowd with a blust from the past.
