Couldn't have been UK Decay - they didn't exist until 1979.

Just checked and it was subway sect. Do remember seeing uk decay play at the suite, may have been backing up SLF?

 

[Flex Your Head]

UK Decay played at Jenkinsons as support to the Dead Kennedys on their first UK tour.

Sad news, saw them at the concord 2 a couple of years ago, the first time I saw Pete was playing with JCC, in the mist of time I thought that I was mistaken! But no I was reading this morning and he was in the invisible girls that backed JCC back in the day.

Nicky Campbell was dwelling on this earlier on this morning. Never appreciated The Buzzcocks as much as I should have done.

 

[wigman]

Saw them a few times over the years , sad loss indeed.
Thanks for the memories.
R.I.P Pete.

Has ever been a better run of singles? Just superb!

 

[rippleman]

That’s very sad.
Buzzcocks was the first gig I ever went to. I was 14 and it was at the Top rank Brighton 1978 when the placed got trashed. Brilliant night.
Unlike with many other punk bands I’ve not got tired of listening to the buzzcocks.

Remember it well! One copper (old style) truncheon drawn stood alone downstairs whilst furnishings were luzzed from the first floor. Bits of drum kit and other equipment nicked and proudly displayed up West Street. How the speaker stack didn't go still baffles me; it wasn't for want of trying.

Worst punk / new wave gig I went to, and I went to a lot!

I still listen to a lot of punk / new wave bands from that era, but Buzzcocks? Meh.

But RIP fella

Thought there might be some sort of tribute on BBC4 last night, but no. Anyone know if there's any planned?

That’s 2 of my 3 teenage triumvirate gone. Just Weller left.

Lydon?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

At 4.00 today the final score programme on telly opened up with a Buzzcock's track. Very classy. But the Welsh cock presenter, Jason Mohammed, obviously got whooshed, as neither he nor his goons made any reference to it.

 

[Garage_Doors]

Lydon?

Lydon is still alive.

 

[zefarelly]

Not in the same league.

Lydon is still alive.

 

[Crispy Ambulance]

Lydon is still alive.

I know. I was referring to 'just Weller left'

Well if this has to be a guessing game i'll start the ball rolling with... Strummer?
