CITIZEN FISH, 'Barrel Organ', Birmingham 30.3.92

What can you say about Dick Lucas and his bands, ever since The Subhumans I've enjoyed everything himself and Jasper etc have done. I have quite a few Subhumans tapes to do so I wont rant on about them too much. I saw Citizen Fish a couple of times with Trotsky on drums etc and I see they are still producing Lps and touring like mad but Its Just Jasper and Dick being original members, click on the name and check out the web site for more info and goodies.
This is an excellent audience recording as I remember them, I have quite a few more for later posts so keep watching and tell your friends!!

ADAM & THE ANTS, Live The Marquee, London 12.1.78

Had quite a few people asking for more early Ant recordings so decided I will put all of them up here slowly, some are classics that have been floating around for a while and some not too familiar ones. If any one has anymore live, demos please share them with us, I'd love to get hold of the early demos that aren't in circulation? I always found it hard to get decent live Adam & The Ants recordings and people weren't willing to give them up that easily un all, but I'm gonna give mine up so I hope folk find it in themselves to do the same and get a great log of history here for people to remember ! If you only have tapes of gigs give me a shout and I will convert them for you and of course return the tape !  It's late so I will keep me nonsense short ! As ever enjoy.
Oh yeh this is one of the better recordings with two of me all time favs , 'Letter To Jordon' & 'Whip In My Valise !!!

Charged G.B.H - live 100 club, London 24.11.81

I remember the buzz about this band, ep coming out on Clay Records, same as Discharge, they must be good !! So Leather, Bristles, Studs & Acne came out and it didn't disappoint, very powerful but not what I first expected, especially with that cover, but you got your politics and fun all in one. I think the first gig was with Erazerhead and Discharge in Letchworth or was it at Bowes in Stevenage ???
This is another of the classic Chaos Tape releases, audience recording, the sound goes a bit quieter half way in but it's a cracker of a set.
Also I have added a little extra gadget to the posts so you can a wee listen to it before you download,  many a time I have downloaded stuff to find out its a shite recording, helps save time, hope you like it and enjoy!!

THE EVENS - Live Ahimsa House, West End, Brisbane 25.2.07

As I've OD'd myself on Crass songs recently I have also been listening to 'The Evens' quite a bit for some mellow time, so I thought I'd share this one for anybody who hasn't come across them. The Evens are Ian Mackaye, (Fugazi), on baritone guitar and partner Amy Farina on drums. They have released two lps, the self titled The Evens in 2005 and then Get Even in 2006, both are well worth a purchase.This is an excellent audience recording with a very tired Ian, have a listen them buy the lp's.

STEVE IGNORANT - Live The Liquid Room, Edinburgh. 2.10.10

Here's another from Steve Ignorant, again shared by 'Pil Head'.
Now when I first started down loading live stuff from the net I used to get really pissed off with all the tracks being split up but I noticed everyone was doing it so thought it was the norm. I do understand why it's done but still get annoyed with it but I seem to have rolled over and gone with the flow !!
So then I start receiving recordings that don't have the breaks and wonder what most folk prefer ?
So my question is what is best, for me it would take a lot less time just converting without the breaks but does this cause a hassle for folk, not being too computer literate I'm not sure, please tell me your thoughts ??
This is an ex recording and sounds a great gig although there a couple of songs missing from the night, but it's got no breaks (great!!) if you don't like it this way I will re- post with gaps!

STEVE IGNORANT - Live, Shepherds Bush Empire, London 24.11.07

Yet another kind share from Pil Head and still a couple more to come ! When I first heard about this show in 2007 my head went into a bit of a mess, I couldn't believe it was happening, 'Steve Ignorant' performing without the other members of Crass whats going on! Then I read this interview and then the review of the gig and I thought hmm ok and didn't give it much more thought, I defiantly wouldn't be going so that was that, until I received these and then finding peoples views on the net about it all !
Now I know he's touring again at the mo and I know he's had the blessing from all of Crass and it's gonna be the very last time he performs these songs and everything seems nice, but then I read about the London gig coming up, and Andy T only getting £75 quid for supporting and that ain't right !
At the end of the day you can make your own mind up, is it right or wrong? Crass made such an impact with their songs, so if you forget everything else and enjoy these recordings for the music, Steve sounds great, the band sound brilliant and I defy any Crass fan not to sing along to these, so enjoy !!!

THEE MILKSHAKES - Live The Claredon, London, 10.12.83

Bit a change, found this at the bottom of the box, me brother was heavily into the Psychobilly scene and was always going into London to see bands, as you can imagine our house was a nightmare at times with the sounds that would come blaring out of the walls, we must of been the neighbours from hell !! Alot of the bands really grew on me, I always loved the sound of the double bass and I suppose being a 60's baby that type of music was always played by my parents be it The Beatles or Bill Hayley etc. I would go along to see a few of the bands as a couple of me mates turned their spikes into high quiffs un all, the ones I really enjoyed were Thee Milkshakes and The Sting Rays, I was going to post a Stingrays gig which was brilliant but I found they've released it, took me bloody ages to convert !! Instead here's The Milkshakes, an audience recording which changes a little in quality on the tape turn but still great I hope you enjoy it as much as me. They have released loads of goodies so if you want more try here, I have also put a classic piece of The Tube history on Garage Bands which is well worth a re visit, have fun and enjoy !!

ADAM & THE ANTS, Live The Roundhouse 14.5.78

I have been putting off this post for a while now as there's loads of Ant stuff out there on the net, but after reading the brilliant post on 'Kill Your Pet Puppy'  it made me do this. To me 'Dirks Wears Whites Sox' is one of the best Lp's ever released, lyrically and musically, I don't think I have ever been bored of listening to it and tracks from it are always on my play list. I loved Adam & The Ants until the unfortunate split and the white line across his face, all the pre 80's stuff is just genius with my all time fav tracks being 'Whip In My Vales' and 'Lou'.
I had seen he was gigging again and couldn't believe that he was coming to my local venue. I was in two minds whether  to go as I didn't want to shatter the very fond early memories I had of them.
Again it was the 'KYPP' post that pushed me to purchase a ticket and brave the gig.
As I approached the venue I still was having second thoughts as I began to see folk with beads in their hair and even one guy with a white strip across his nose !! It was a real mixed bunch, the support were okay and I was still thinking I had wasted £22, as looked at the two drum kits on the stage and as certain members of the crowd kept doing the Indian cry. As the lights went down and the bass was hit my nerves turned to joy and excitement as his band started to play 'Plastic Surgery'. Anyway enough of this gig type review to cut a long gig short Adam played about 75 per cent of the old material including for the first time 'Lou'. Adam told the crowd he has never done it before because he never knew the lyrics as Jordon would always scream them, so he rang her last week to find them out ! It was a shame that most of the crowd seemed to be there for the more charty stuff but at the end of the day Adam is looking great, smiling, sounding as good as ever and he's enjoying himself along with a band who are tight. I came away  a very happy early ant fan, if he's playing near you don't be put off,  go !!!
So here's the goodies I have loads of early Ant stuff from demo's to live recordings so if anyone wants any more just ask and I will send you a list of what I have, links to them or I'll  post more but for now here's one of my fav early audience recordings that I picked up years ago at Camden market it has one of the best set lists i think. I have also added another from this year with the set list very close to the one I saw them do, enjoy!!
