Got the idea from Mark’s question regarding a dance Witch Hunt track, and this email I received: “Hi there, I’m trying to track down a song I heard on john peel somewhere between 79-82 I reckon. it was a punky sounding song with a (from memory) shouted lyric ‘WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?’ – not much to go […]
Sniper Heretic at the Hope And Anchor in front of Phil Daniels Bob Short at the Music Machine with the immortal words that actually made the cut, “Bollocks. Piss off. Bollocks.” Si Heretic auditioning
Any Puppies out there know who the punks are towards the end of this video are at all? Mark Wilson from Da Mob remembers the extras to be something to do with KYPP, but can not remember the names or many details. Help the guy out…Tony, Lugs, anyone? Comment if you recognise anyone please…
From my notes, The Long Acre/James Lane squat was home to some very radical people, some Chilean refugees, some members of a group called Bitch, some articulate punk/artist types and a fearsome South African brute who legend had it had cleared out all the junkies from the buildings. But the majority of inhabitants were […]
Break on thru to the other side… After blogging away in greengalloway for nearly three years now, the speed at which KYPP moves is disconcerting. Instead of one or two occasional comments, there are hundreds here and it can be difficult to keep up. (Must be old age, will be 50 this year). So I […]
KUKL performing with Flux of Pink Indians, D & V and Chumbawumba at Conway Hall. Review originally published in SOUNDS 3 Sept. 1984. Such stuff as legends are made of – REALLY. A concert that put a final nail in the coffin of plastic-pose-punk-piss, featuring four of the five best anarcho-punk (sorry about the label!) […]
Myself and some Brougham Road types went to this 1982 festival. There is more print material about it in the photo gallery in the ‘Greenham Common Festival’ album. I’m sure I saw the Newtown Neurotics play here. This was the first non-Stonehenge free festival I’d done. Come back to London as Stonehenge finished at the end […]
Going through my greengalloway archives and found film about the Persons Unknown Anarchist Conspiracy Trial. See it here It has a short clip of Crass playing (Conway Hall?) Also footage of Stuart Christie in Orkney running his ‘anarchist publishing project’. If it hadn’t been for the Persons Unknown trial there would have been no Wapping […]
Anarchy, conspiracy- its just a click away, its just a click away An A in a circle, spray painted on walls in city streets, is the nearest most citizens come into contact with anarchism. The media spectacle that the anarchists themselves find comic and tragic, has no room in its schedules for the ideas and […]
Ok, here we go now, this really is another sociology lecture …by Richard Cross, ex Metro Youth ( from Exeter, on Bullshit Detector 2). It was published in Socialist History magazine in 2004. Rich is working on a book on Crass and Anarcho-Punk 1978- 1984 for AK Press, due out this year and has […]
