Drink up!

And now we come to the end of our New Year's coverage, involving the usual drinking and dancing and rocking that the time of year entails at Babylon.

Ukrainia! jumps into things.



Wait, what's that up there?



Singalong action!



Downstroking action!



Tom hits!



Hilotron and Boycrusher Mike Schultz kicks in some accordion.



Drinking action!



Damian sings!



Faceoff action!



Bending action!



The shouty bit.



More Tom.



Dave takes a stand.



The whole lot!



Big kicks!



I even shot a bit of video, where everything is so fuzzy they sound like Les Rallizes Denudes.



A nice way to ring in the New Year.
