Side One Side Two I have not uploaded The Apostles for a little while, so here is another collection of obscure sounds from this band, lent to me by Chris Low who was sent it in 1981 by Andee Martian of the band. There are no indications of what year, what line up, what track-listing […]
Nobody’s Scared Dont Split It Ambition A Different Story Still buzzing (vibe-wise not chemicals) from the weekend’s Subway Sect performance round the back of The Plough pub in Walthamstow, London E17. I was inspired, by Vic Goddard’s incredibly pleasant demeanour on the night, to chuck these gems up from 1978, the only two singles released in the […]
Bigger text here Bigger text here Thanks to Mike Clarke for these cut outs of Portobello Road Punks from The Observer from 1979. If anyone knows some of the faces then please leave comments. The bottom photo shows The Heretics, Phil Richie and other Cambpell Buildings survivors.
Bela Lugosi’s Dead Boys / Dark Entries (part of) Absolutely majestic nine and a half minutes of choppy guitars and moody basslines smother the debut release by Bauhaus on the Small Wonder imprint from 1979, also released on a very limited edition picture disc. The band had only been active for several weeks before the recording session […]
Production Look Out / Sylvia Clarke ? A rare record from Chris Lows collection from 1979. I believe Chris used to live next door to one of the members of this band in Stirling, Scotland. I think I would be correct in saying that the older ‘Fakes’ members took Chris under their collective wing and supplied some […]

The work of Guy Debord and the Situationist International were amongst the many sources Kill Your Pet Puppy stole from. Thanks to a comment by Noisy Sphinx on my Greengalloway blog site, I found the following at http://www.principiadialectica.co.uk/blog/ It is the text of a leaflet first distributed at the May 1968 anniversary bash at the Conway […]
I had an idea of setting out some history of this road in the then, wasteland of Hackney, between the Grand Union Canal and London Fields. The history has not actually been written yet, as I have no real leads on when the road became a small part of the underground counter-culture. All my leads […]
Five weeks old today and already getting to choose what goes on the site. Normal service to be resumed with some Chris Low business when the slackers at the hosting site get fed up with eating kit kats all day long and get down to some serious work. 18/05 02.00: One week later and the hosting company has […]
