I saw CRASS at Digbeth Civic Hall ~'84. they did pretty much the whole of Wall of noise 'Yes Sir I Will'. First time i'd been to a punk gig with Trade Unionist, Hippy Activists and such milling about selling 'Zines and leaflets. The room was decked in banners and there was a half hour 'Multimedia' film show support was by D&V. saw the Angelic Upstarts at The Golden Eagle, Hill St, B'ham. Gnarley gig!!, support was from the very excitable Toy Dolls but no-one dared dance. Upstarts were pretty good but various small scale fights broke out.I had to leave early to get a bus but i heard there was a heap of trouble afterwards outside. Heady days indeed:)
I love all these Zig Zag posts. Great stuff. Now I'm wondering if you can help me Mr Highlander. Do you have the Zig Zag from September 1984 by any chance. My sisters band (Hysteria) were in there. I have got it somewhere amongst the rubble but so far,I can't find it : - ( Would love to have a read of that again.
PS I've just posted a Hysteria demo over on my blog if you want it.
