    Some of us sewed badges on

    Lawks!

    As I was a skint yoof I used to sew zips into my tesco jeans that I'd dyed black and purple and made into drainpipes. My needlework wasn't very good, but it was meant to be DIY punk! I even made my own bumflap out of a particularly vile green acrylic tartan material then scrawled "Slits" on it in fluorescent orange paint. 

    By contrast, mine and Swamp's mate (the only other school punk) had a rich dad who bought him a pair of real bondage trousers from XClothes, and real leather jacket with Ruts painted on it... We always sent him to the bar.

    a huge inspiration but for a fairly narrow audience

    I remember when I was a young punker in school (there were 3 of us!) all the other lads (cos girls weren't into music, obvs! 😁) had pristine denim jackets their mums had sewed assorted heavy rock band patches onto... And they'd confidently assert that Cozy Powell was the best drummer in the world, bar none.

    Needless to say, they'd never heard of Billy Cobham... 

    How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?

    Two rehearsals with two bands recently...

    First one: we'd recruited two new guitarists. One came to one rehearsal where we had to use recorded drums as drummer couldn't make it. We got a message then saying he couldn't think of anything to play and didn't want to continue. Other one hadn't turned up to previous rehearsal, finally confirmed he'd be coming to this one then never turned up. So two basses, drums and vox! Leaves lots of room for me to go widdleywoo, but we felt we did need a spot of rhythm guitar. So now singer is going to dust off axe hero skills and bring guitar to next shindig. Fingers crossed!

    Second one: after 8 weeks of cancellations by drummer due to excessive workload we got it together. And it was pretty good... We finally sorted out our rather aimless cover of "Do You Wanna Funk" - it's now a rockin'disco beast with a middle 8 stolen from RockCandyFunkParty and SonicYouth!
