St Etienne<\/a><\/p>\n

Had the enormous pleasure of witnessing this band several times in the mid to late 1980\u2019s and they rocked my world for real. All the more pissed off as I seem to have had the debut 7\u2033 single \u2018Asbestos Lead Asbestos\u2019 stolen from my collection by light fingered mates no doubt, sometime between\u00a0maybe 1990 (around the time when I last played it) and today. I tried to search it out earlier, could not place it, had a red mist moment, then slammed this 12\u2033 single (the first W.D.E. release on Product Inc)\u00a0on double loud (not really, baby sleeping) though\u00a0loud enough. What a bummer.<\/p>\n

Anyhow this band put together by Keith Dobson AKA Kif Kif, played some great loud, gritty, nasty rock and roll\u00a0akin to bands like The\u00a0Folk Devils or Screaming Blue Messiahs. But unlike those other bands, the ex Here And Now and 012 member knew the subtle touch of a reggae\u00a0break, while no doubt\u00a0existing in the squats of Ladbroke Grove and Latimer Road for many years. On tracks like \u2018Asbestos Lead Asbestos\u2019 or \u2018Hotsy Girl\u2019 the reggae bass peels the wallpaper off the walls if played loud enough. The basslines\u00a0are\u00a0that thick!<\/p>\n

Undisputedly, THE hardest, loudest and noisiest band of all time\u2026<\/p>\n

Consisting of three members: Founder Keith Dobson on guitar and vocals; Steve Jammo Jameson on bass and Digger Metters on drums, World Dom came into being on Guy Fawkes Day 1984, and played their last show in May 1990.<\/p>\n

Grown up on the streets of Ladbroke Grove in West London. A manifestation of the hard, crazy and colourful life of the UK\u2019s squatlands in Thatcher\u2019s heyday.<\/p>\n

World Dom released only two albums, \u201cLet\u2019s Play Domination\u201d in January 1988 and \u201cLove from Lead City\u201d (late 1988). \u201cLet\u2019s Play Domination\u201d sustained a place in the top three of the UK Indie Charts and the band were featured on the covers of Melody Maker and NME.
\nWDE preferred the short sharp napalm attack of the vinyl single and released five of these, one in each of the last five years of the 1980\u2019s. \u201cAsbestos Lead Asbestos\u201d (1985); \u201cCatalogue Clothes\u201d (1986); \u201cHotsy Girl\u201d (1987); \u201cI Can\u2019t Live Without My Radio\u201d (1988); and \u201cThe Company News\u201d (1989).<\/p>\n

The album \u201cLet\u2019s Play Domination\u201d is scheduled for re-release on Guy Fawkes Day, the 5th of November 2008, including extra extended mixes taken from \u201cLove from Lead City\u201d. A CD release of all the singles, A\u2019s, B\u2019s and 12 inch mixes is planned for early in 2009.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

World Domination Enterprises performed\u00a0at the\u00a0Mutoid Waste\u00a0Company parties at an old squatted bus depot down near York Way in Kings Cross\u00a0during\u00a0the late 1980\u2019s,\u00a0so here is as good a place as any to advertise the Mutoid Britain\u00a0parties being held in Shoreditch all\u00a0the fridays, saturdays and sundays\u00a0until the end of December 2008 at the same venue (look on the flyer).<\/p>\n

Thanks to Min and Mark Mob for giving me the nod on these events \u2013 reckon I may get out of Penguin Towers for one of the days to see these exhibitions \/ performances.<\/p>\n
