The stories and myths surrounding the band, dressed all in white, with
their anarchic and devil may care attitude, fashioned a legend that
has surpassed many other bands. To add to this they had a young
guitarist by the name of MARC BOLAN. This being Marc's first Band. He
died in a fatal car crash in1977.
Today JC' is joined by MORRISSEY'S incendiary guitarist, BOZ BOORER.
CHRIS TOWNSON still thrashes out the Drums. PHIL KING from the JESUS
AND MARY CHAIN provides bass guitar and the hyperkinetic, acrobatic
and wild frontman ANDY ELLISON (also from the high-energy punk band
RADIO STARS) is on Vocals……and probably lot of other things.

WHAT TO EXPECT. loud, unpredictable, very slippy, (goggles
provided),(please bring suitable clothing), rampant psycho-delia,
nudity, cream teas, random acts of mindful violence and a smattering
of Marc Bolans early songs with JC, Desdemona, Midsummer nights scene,
Sara crazy child etc. Please bring your own drugs. No feathers!!

Back in 1967 they created a shattering wall of sound from their 18
Jordan amplifiers. A huge tribal drum beat from a double Slingerland
drum kit, an acrobatic singer (who was stage diving back in 1967) and
a young guitarist by the name Marc Bolan who in a frenzy of feedback
would slash the stage with chains.
Something had to give, and it finally did at the Friedrich-Ebert-Halle
Ludwigschafen, whilst on a German tour with the Who. The 15,000 seater
stadium was witness to an evening of unbridled mayhem.
As Chris Townson hammered out an incessant beat on his double
Slingerland drum kit and Marc Bolan began thrashing his guitar with
chains, Andy Ellison somersaulted off stage and ran wild among the
startled audience, showering the place with feathers. Suddenly chairs
were flying through the stadium like missiles A full scale riot ensued
and there was an almighty surge to the front of the stage. The band
somehow made it out of a side door and back stage. Ellison with all
his clothes in shreds Townson falling into view with the imprint of a
jackboot on his chest.
Scrambling through a back door and into their manager Simon Napier
Bell's Bentley they screamed off into the night. As the band sped off
the riot police were already strafing the upper windows with water
canons. The bands equipment was confiscated by the German police.
Booted off the tour and then deported.
There is an article on this legendary rock event in next months April
