Originally posted by MattFromEarth View PostI seem to have a vague memory of once owning a single by the Varukers. I think it was called "Die for your government" . Other than that Sex Pistols Anarchy Tour in Caerphilly.Originally posted by darmstadt View PostI've seen them, more than once and have a record or 2 lying around! Back in the early 80's they always seemed to be on the bill when we used to see west country bands. Still going apparently...
My bro was a punkster. That's how come I was there.
It got infiltrated by skinheads & fists started flying half way through. Even got a fat lip myself - punching a woman...classy.
Can't think of many west country punk bands though. The Subhumans were local and, er, Chaotic Discord?Comment

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostWere the Subhumans west country? I though they came from my way, the other side of London as I saw them with the Epileptics (who went on to become the fabulously moniker-ed Flux of Pink Indians), and yes, I have records by all of them. Vice Squad, with Beki Bondage on vocals were from the Bristol area and so were Disorder who made Discharge sound like Pinky and Perky on Valium. First saw them in a squat in the St. Pauls area, the only problem was that they were playing on the first floor and due to the loudness and amount of people, the floor collapsed. I think One Way System were also west country. I did go see the Ruts on Friday evening here and had a jolly good drink with them after the gig...
They're from Melksham (MELKSHAM!)

I was a very late arrival to going to Gigs
My first was Foo Fighters, Iron Maiden, Brian May in Hyde Park, in 2006.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment

But the "Lou Reed, Hammersmith Odeon" bit was correct
October 17th, to be preciseComment
