I was with you guys that night! Is my memory of the night twisted or did you bring them all back to WFMU after the gig for some shuteye on the floor of the main office?

Ray, now that you mention it, I remember it well. The interview was indeed post-gig. They played that night as a four-piece; the second guitarist passed on the interview to go off and sleep. They either slept in the office, or more likely on the floor of the live room.

I believe I still have their 12" called "Spike Milligan's Tape Recorder."

Wow. Not bad for someone who hadn't even thought back to that night for years before you wrote this post, eh? I seem to also remember John Robb broke quite a few guitar strings that night.

Thanks for the memories, my friend. Looking forward to your slot on the Radio Gr

Death To Trad Rock! - The Post-Punk Fanzine Scene 1982-87
By John Robb

New From Cherry Red Books!

Death To Trad Rock is the first time this era collection of bands has been analysed and written about in such depth. It explores this loose confederation of noisenik outfits reacting against the bland conformity of the mid-Eighties, including Three Johns, The Membranes, Nightingales, The Ex, Wedding Present, Age Of Chance, A Witness, Bogshed and Big Flame. Bands trading in loud, discordant noise-rock with a stripped down punk energy, dirty bass, shrapnel guitars and surreal lyrics, all forged into quirky, original songs.

The Membranes rocked, I really enjoyed John Robb's book 'Death To Trad Rock' and his new band Goldblade are awesome. Fan's of John's writing should check his Rivmixx blog here http://bit.ly/5q8aNX
