Ha! Just been discussing with mates gigs we were at where the band turned on the audience. Although this was more a case of the audience turning on the band, they definitely incited and it all got pretty close to a violent conclusion as I remember it…
"In their nappies"- I howled a little at that one. I worked with two brothers in Akron, OH in 1994 or so who worshipped TJMC (I was there to play stuff more like RIDE, but it never came out). Anyway, the brothers upped sticks and moved to Wolverhampton; where I could easily imagine them getting the same reception the Reid brothers got at this gig. What a sharp encapsulation of several large discussions going round at the time; and thanks for letting these scenes back into the light of day again.

In my post punk years I loved this band- saw them in Kilburn- ( from Penny a fellow SGGS alumnus)
