Gig and video at Asylum in Chelmsford, drink choices


I Am Meat had a wonderful gig at Asylum in Chelmsford, as we're told, the only place they would accept us in that town. We also did some filming there for our next music video (see below).

Jonas caught vegetarian David drinking a Strongbow, and wanted to taunt him and get at him. Is Strongbow vegetarian? But David wasn't trying hide it, he's not like that. According to useful source www.veggiewines.co.uk, who have been researching these things diligently since 2006, Strongbow is not vegetarian. So what do they do with animals? Anyone? It can feel hypocritically futile to 'keep meat off my plate' but to drink it in a glass. We like pubs. They give us gigs, show us wonderful bands, 
And from another source (http://www.barnivore.com/beer/81/Strongbow-UK), 
Company email (January 2013): 
"While the majority of our ciders including Strongbow Pear do not have any animal derived ingredients there is a possibility of carryover from some of our ciders that do, therefore we do not claim that any of our ciders are vegetarian."

Ok we are splitting hairs but thought some people may like to know that. Maybe Strongbow just prefer to be associated with meat and catching your prey with a crossbow or bow and arrow?

Speaking of animal care, we had a fantastic time in Chelmsford with Ed Wood and the audience at Asylum. And they were kind enough to help us film part of our video for the song I Am Meat! It was fun basically, Halloween lasts as long as we like. Thanks Asylum in Chelmsford. Very good spaces and sound they have too. Check out the screen shots. Anyway the point was, we are going to include some raw footage to complement our lighthearted tomfoolery with disco lights, that shows the true side of meat eggs and dairy.
