years ago I organised a gig, mostly for brazilians. We hired out a joint called 93ft east on london's brick lane
We underestimated how many would show, and ended having to turn people away. The brazilian electro DJ we hired was called Rogerio Bala, bala meaning pill in portuguese. I asked why, and they said because he also deals ecstasy. He turned up wasted and had forgotton his record box. We shifted to a capoeira exhibition (brazilian dance fighting)but the crowd was pushing in too close and several people got kicked in the head. An indian mate of mine got his pint glass roundhoused out of his hands as he was taking a sip. It was bloody dangerous.
We'd hired the band of this japanese mate of mine. koichi, which at the time I think were called Kill my dad. Sort of an Art/Punk threepiece. Koichi is the sweetest bloke offstage but is fucking nuts on stage. they were just on the verge of getting some airplay, and had a music journalist from one of the big music mags taking photos. At the end of the second song, the guitarist got it into his head to throw his guitar away in punk fashion, which he did straight into the face of the journo, breaking his nose like a splattered tomato. Which is where the gig ended.
Luckily, rogerio had come back by then slightly more earthbound and with his big box of electro and turned out to be a good dj seeing out the rest of the night.
{edit}Then everyone was murdered.

This doesn't sound like a bad gig.

dj not bringing records, band lasting only two songs...
however if you're a fan of accidental violence, it probably was a good gig
