Crass created more than music, they created a generation, we might be small, we might be almost senior citizens now, but we ended up having a cultural impact. A very important band.

Absolutely agree with that, with crass it went beyond just music,it was a movement that inspired and made a lifestyle for vast amounts of folks,I know crass had a big influence on me and many bods that I know or knew,I remember getting pulled aside once at school for having crass lyrics on the front of my R E book, there's a place near mine, that does free veggie meals,showers, haircuts etc,I've been in for haircuts once or twice, turned out it was eve libertine from from crass doing em, and penny Rimbaud was one of the servers there,she's really nice and it was good to talk with her about the old Anarcho days, the fact that people are still talking about crass all these years on says it all to me.

I still have them in mind

Hey Sweet Jimmy Network, thanks for the enlightenment. I was under the impression back in '83' that Crass had never played the U.S. I had a flyer for an upcoming GBH and Crass gig that was supposed to happen in L.A. that year. The gig never happened as I heard that Crass couldn't get visas due to being anarchists. I wish I still had that flyer (and a bunch of others) since it featured like four skeletons walking with femur canes---pretty cool. Anyway, thanks for the work you did. btw, Steve Ignorant said "thank you" to my comments on their live gig in England some years back. Cheers. 😎

Very interesting piece of work. Thanks for the memories. Anarchy and peace to you.

Feeding was a phenomenal album, I bought it 42 years ago and still have it.

Still got mine from back then.Went to see them and the poison girls at Bearsden town hall in 1979 but the gig got raided by the police and shut down before crass got on.fkn gutted.Also a copper spat in my face that night.cnt.

Also notable was Steve's chance meeting of Annie Anxiety Bandez during his stay.She shortly made her way to Dial house and history was made. Great video,I appreciate your work.

Hi Jimmy, I just saw your great video which was so unique and full of unheard details. Thanks a lot!

Welcome!!

I've watched afew of your punk themed vids. Just noticing you're pretty small. Keep up the great work. This sort of oddball reporting from that old scene really fills a niche in a saturated genre. Keep it up.

Can imagine Nagasaki nightmare went down well 🫣

I saw Crass in Glasgow, Scotland, around 1979 - 1980. It was more like an art installation than a rock concert.

I'm so jealous of you i wish I could see them (I wasn't even alive then)

Kick ass!!

The picture you have for the Wild Bunch is of the Bristol (UK) based Wild Bunch. They didn't form until 1982, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't them playing in The CUANDO, or anywhere else with Crass.

comment, comment, comment. That is the best Tequila! Wait What?

Hardly anyone in the UK had heard of Crass in 1978 no wonder nothing happened as a result of Crass playing in NY in 1978.

Never knew Crass played in the USA. Speaking of which unfortunately I missed Steve Ignorant performing like an hour away from where I live because the show was in the middle of the week and I work mornings.

I still have a single by Crass from the early 80s-something about sheep farming in the Falklands. What a crappy band.

They were really hit or miss. Every now and then, a juicy riff or melody would emerge that was, if nothing else, utterly original. They were definitely an irritant, proudly so. Y'know: punk rawk

That was recorded and released within days of the Falklands War and was a reaction to it. Crass may not be your speed but it totally made sense at the time
