MATINEE GIG 2.30PMASBO DEREK
Asbo Derek is a band not a bloke. Vic Godard is a fan, so much so that he has released their LP on his own label, GNUinc Records. He describes the album as "songs for arseholes doing ridiculous things because they think they’ll look arseholes if they don’t.”
Asbo Derek’s particular form of affordable art has been described as ‘double-garage cabaret’
SOCIAL SECURITY
After seeing The Damned perform in late 76, Social Security left their jobs and signed on. They recruited 'Spy' a Damned roadie so named because the Damned were convinced he was a spy for the Pistols. With 'Spy' on board as their new singer, The Socials became major players in the Bristol and West Country's burgeoning punk scene.
Signed by Heartbeat Records They went on to record their first single on Bristol's newly formed Heartbeat record label. The single, a four track E.P. Was critically acclaimed by the legendary John Peel. Over the years the single has been re-released appearing on many highly regarded Punk anthology albums.
After a lot of arm twisting by their former management and due to public pressure Social Security relented and have now reformed playing extensively and showcasing their unique wit and song writing abilities. Social Security are true originals, Don't miss them!!
