Punk Is Dead \/ Mother Love \/ Rival Tribal Revel Rebel \/ Bata Motel \/ Hello Hero \/ Banned From The Roxy \/ Do They Owe Us A Living? \/ G’s Song<\/a><\/p>\nA Crass performance at the 100 Club that was shared with Serious Damage, a skinhead band from South London, and the Exploited.<\/p>\n
A gig to try and unite the various tribal punk \/ skin factions.<\/p>\n
I think Gary Bushell had something to do with the organisation of the gig along with The Exploited.<\/p>\n
Crass were specifically invited by The Exploited to perform with them on the night, as Annie Anxiety, who also performed, was dating Wattie from The Exploited at the time.<\/p>\n
You can hear the other bands followers throughout this Crass performance, happily siegheiling away.<\/p>\n
Oh dear, not exactly what Gary Bushell (if he did indeed have a hand in the running of the night) or Crass would have hoped for.<\/p>\n

A little text from the Southern website:<\/p>\n
Crass<\/strong> are remembered as the most notorious agit\u2212propsters of the 70s and 80s, for being founders of the Stonehenge festival, to having questions raised in Parliament regarding their various pranks, including a spoof tape of a telephone conversation between Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, to their\u00a0promotion of the \u2019Stop The City\u2019 marches, alongside the organisers Dave ‘The Postman’ and London Greenpeace, and many many more activities. They are also remembered for being the leading protagonists of the genre know known as anarcho\u2212punk, for being the first band to make their records available at little more than cost price, and to print a “Pay No More Than…” price on their record sleeves to stop fans being ripped off. And although many will remember the Crass sound as being \u2019unlistenable cacophony\u2019 and their lyrics as \u2019shock slogans and mindless token tantrums\u2019 (copyright: The Sun), listen to these records now and what you hear may surprise you, as what went on the studio was actually quite revolutionary in more than just the political sense.<\/p>\nCrass<\/strong> gigs were more like events, encompassing music, poetry, film and performance. There were often stalls from various political organisations and the members of the band would wander around the audience handing out leaflets and lyric sheets. The incredible backdrops which covered the walls were created by G Sus (latterly Gee Vaucher) who also designed the band\u2019s terrifying, humorous and highly acclaimed artwork. The films Crass<\/strong> projected at shows were also created by Gee and another filmmaker, Mick Duffield.<\/p>\nIn recent years Crass<\/strong> fought and won a long battle against property developers to keep hold of Dial House. In November 2002, the original members of the collective performed at the “Voices and Music Against War” event at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London\u2019s South Bank, though they did not appear on stage at the same time. Crass will never reform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gee Sus artwork – International Anthem #3 Punk Is Dead \/ Mother Love \/ Rival Tribal Revel Rebel \/ Bata Motel \/ Hello Hero \/ Banned From The Roxy \/ Do They Owe Us A Living? \/ G’s Song A Crass performance at the 100 Club that was shared with Serious Damage, a skinhead band […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1058","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-links-downloads"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/killyourpetpuppy.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1058","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/killyourpetpuppy.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/killyourpetpuppy.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/killyourpetpuppy.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/killyourpetpuppy.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1058"}],"version-history":[{"count":24,"href":"https:\/\/killyourpetpuppy.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1058\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11540,"href":"https:\/\/killyourpetpuppy.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1058\/revisions\/11540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/killyourpetpuppy.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1058"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/killyourpetpuppy.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1058"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/killyourpetpuppy.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1058"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
