Punk and New Wave thread.

Possibly the worst and best punk bands in one evening back in the day. "Gods gift" were (I assume) a local manc band who were literally thrown off stage before the great Dead Kennedys gig at (I think) the mayflower. I went home with jello's jumper that he threw in to the crowd, though almost lost a home-made bleach-dye and humbrol paint DK shirt that I'd made for the occasion... some old geezer tried to "negotiate" its donation...
 
My son used to be in a punk band who supported quite a few of the oldies. Met more nice folk than awful ones. Said that Bob Geldoff and the singer out of Flock Of Seagulls (cannot remember his name just now) were complete arses. Lydon wanted £2.5k for them to support PIL However said that Pete Shelley, Wendy O'Williams, Beki Bondage, Wattie & Hazel O'Connor were all class and really supportive. The nicest person he met though was Barry from Eddy & The Hot Rods. A true gent who has been very helpful in progressing my sons career. He has stayed with us a few times and some of his stories involving John Lydon & Debbie Harry especially are quality.

Barry had been playing support to the Ramones in New York. Woke up the next day in bed with young Debbie Harry who had been to the gig. Only problem was he cannot remember anything from the night before as he had been on lots of different drugs. Said it was very disappointing as could not remember if he had done the deed or not.

That’s what I was thinking as well. A Flock of Seagulls and punk, could they be further apart!

Anyone who has a hair style like this deserves to go bald, which he did lol
