Steve Ignorant Band CRASS songs 1977-1984 and Ignorant Classics with his band:
Matinee show – 4pm – 7pm Sunday 13th October, 2024.
After the huge success of performing CRASS songs at The Last Supper Tour in 2010-11 and playing at most of the
big punk festivals in 2016-2018, Steve Ignorant has started to tour again. Having played at sold out UK shows earlier
in the year, Steve will be taking the IGNORANT TOUR to Europe in October 2022 and planning a World Tour the
following year.
The band will be performing the best CRASS material from 1977 – 1982. 'Do They Owe Us A Living' and 'Big A Little
A' to name a few. 'Poison In A Pretty Pill' and 'Berkertex Bribe' are some of the songs that will be performed by
Carol Hodge, the female vocalist.
This is your chance to hear the songs of arguably Britain’s top and most influential Anarcho-Punk band, as played by
the original lead singer Steve Ignorant and his superb band. Performed with the same anger and intensity of those
days, the band has given these songs a new lease of life.
The political and lyrical ideas of CRASS are even more relevant today as they were then and with the entire CRASS
Catalogue having been remastered and reissued through One Little Independent in April 2019, the interest in
CRASS and what it stands for has increased and intensified.
"What it says on the tin. A raw, ragged but quite incredible performance. The same members as Slice Of Life but this
is Crass songs given a new lease of life." says Ged Babey.
"Is it just pure nostalgia? Young cynics may ask. Fuck, no I’d say. Nostalgia would be crass. And this is the Steve
Ignorant Band 2021. There is no ‘going thru the motions’, no ‘You might remember this one..’ intro’s. And the blood
(coursing thru their veins) sweat (dripping onto the stage) and tears (running down the co-vocalists face) are very
real. This is authentic looking back in anger…."
Guest support HEADSTICKS - Where folk and punk collide to provide a passion infused commentary that is as raw and honest as it.
