The Band that wouldn't die! No matter how hard forces worked, they kept on going. April saw Hugh Cornwell busted for drugs possession. & then there were 3 with Jet, Dave & JJ playing the Rainbow in London with an army of musician fans stepping in to temporarily fill Hugh's shoes. Hugh returns & off to Europe. The gig in Nice in France saw the incarceration of the Band following a riot at the University following inadequate electric supply and the paying punters taking matters into their own hands. Freedom eventually & the never ending UK tour to raise funds that kept rolling despite skinhead skirmishes. Off to the US in October for a couple of months and then getting their stage gear nicked in NYC. Despite this they hired gear to keep the show on the road. Tonite the tour has rolled into West Hollywood for a 4 night stand. Listen to the uncompromising start in Toiler. ENJOY.
