This Poison!
@riproaringstuff.bsky.social
Late 80's Indie Popsters! Peel Session released in 2022 on @precrecs.bsky.social !!
"Rip Roaring Stuff from the Perth boys!!" John Peel.
Brilliant! They were the coolest band in Perth when we were getting our act together. Played with them many times, definately overlooked! They did a Peel Session, too!
📸I took of them at Fat Sams in Dundee.

Forgot. Saw Bauhaus play there twice. Me and my pal were on the guest list for the Bunnymen so no ticket stub.
Bauhaus in '82 must have been during school holidays. We stayed in Glasgow on the Sunday night then through to Edinburgh the next day to see them again.

Only 2 gigs I went to at Tiffanys. Glasgow was a long way away for a teenager from Perth! 😂

I was there, too. Great gigs.

Oh yes! Here's my ticket and pics I took. They were something else live!!

Yep. Played there twice. Went down a storm, probably cause not much ever happens in Arbroath. The other gig on that tape was Blairgowrie, another small town where zero happens.
Flyer and ticket from one of the Arbroath gigs.

Here's the track list. The guy who made it for me was a real hardcore punk rocker and the last person you'd think would like Hawkwind, but he was partial to the odd magic mushroom which might account for his love for them.

LOST TAPES (or so I thought)

Unearthed at my parents house, not seen for 30 years.
2 TWP gigs from April '86.

Fantastic. Saw The Smiths there the month before, 3rd on the bill, supporting Howard Devoto and SPK.

Ace!! Here's the poster/flyer I have.

We played with Jesse Garron the night before in Brighton and guess who reviewed it? AND, it was a Thursday!! 😂

I'm always checking out posters that catch my eye and once they start getting 4 or 5 stars, I investigate. Seen some great that started with a poster.

Me and my pal came down from Perth for that. Pics by me.

Slept in a dressing room after the evening gig and everyone gone. Night watchman took pity on us as we were trying to kip outside the RSC stage door!

It was really cool. They were shooting at various places on the Royal Mile for a week. Didn't see it but they built a gallows in one of the internal courtyards. Can't wait to see the movie and Edinburgh spot!!

Didn't see him. Took some pics. My wife got paid to close her cafe on the Cannongate for a day while they were shooting.

We were at that gig! Onion Cellar Edinburgh. Great club! Vaselines also played, Pastels headlined. I only took pics of Pastels for some reason. Maybe only 3 or 4 shots left on the spool!!

Only 20 odd years ago! Both great gigs! Beck supported at Meadowbank & had a puppet show, with marionettes of the band in a background video played before they came on.
