Anyone remember these guys, or know anything at all about them? Apparently, that is back in the day, they were way more popular than Toxik Ephex.
Or what about The Hum? Remember them playing a show at the 62 Club with Flux Of Pink Indians, The System, Alternative, and Andy T. Beyond that I know very little.
This is kinda a long shot I know, coz we are talking about roughly 20 years ago, but if anyone can help, then that would be cool.

I remember them, both bands were great but at that time anything was great judging by the amounts of stimulants that got consumed.

Did you ever boil ''mushies'' in the kettle at the 62 club?

I also remember the flux gig at the 62, also the mob, alternative, amebix, death in june gigs. The only gig I ever missed at the 62 was Conflict. I also remember being chased down Union Street by c*nts after the death in june show.

Carnage had many line up changes sadly a couple of the former members are now no longer with us

The hum were more political from what I can remember, they also did a couple of good gigs at The Pallace circa 83 / 84

I also think that Rudimetary Peni and Rubella Ballet also did gigs around that time.

Hey man thanks. Due to then not living in Aberdeen, I wasn't able to catch any of the shows at the 62 Club, though I was aware of them. I think you know Rags, who like you, caught most of those shows. I do know a lotta the other folks from back then too. Steve Hughes, Ingrid and Anna Stevenson, Jeanette Wiseman, Andrew Flett...
Hadn't realised that both Amebix and The Mob made it through here.
I do remember one member of The Hum, though for the life of me, can't recall his name. He later joined a local cycle courier service. Was a bouncer too.
I should introduce myself, as actually we do already know each other. I'm David. You know, I was a member of the Boomtown collective. Occasionaly say hi.
I guess your interest in the anarcho-punk community faded. Any particular reasons? I'm just curious.

For those reading this who don't know, the 62 Club was a punk space in Summer Street in the earlier part of the 1980s. The building now belongs to Aberdeen Cyrenians.

I used to go out with rags, nice girl. Don't know what she is up too these days though, the guy who joined the courier service was Pat. Think he is now studying martial arts in america?

I would'nt really say that my interest in the anarcho side of things has faded,I believe its far easier to influence people with idea's and to educate them on the current climate from inside, rather than the outside. I still from time to time listen to flux, crass etc just to keep me sane.

I still believe in most of the stuff that I did back in the day, I would say its more diverse these days. So much overt / covert situations are now unfolding because the whole picture of things has became so much bigger. More so with all the current crap thats surficing with the so called ''world government'' theory.

I'm still in contact with Rags. She still comes out to DIY punk shows, still involved in the scene.
Ah Pat. Just could not remember his name.
You should come out to the show at Drakes Thursday.
Me? I'm still involved politically, at the moment involved in the setting up of an autonomous social centre here in Aberdeen.

Jamesy and Avril are both still in the Broch. See them at gigs from time to time. Don't have contact details though but could probably get.

[get lost]

I went there as a wee 10 year old, my mum was a volunteer at the 62 club for many years, Ive seen quite a lot of influencial bands there, was just speaking to Shaun/Stime, the other day actually!!

Only bad memories of that place was the glue sniffers, scared the shit out me!!

[Georgewhyte]

Saw Carnage a couple of times. Once at 62 Club and once at a gig at the Broch. Good solid punk band, although Toxik were always a notch above the others. I'm sure i even have a photo of Carnage at the Broch gig up in the loft somewhere.

62 Club was a brilliant if not flawed place. Great great gigs. Great great people mixed in with that awful glue stench from the bogs.

Someone mentioned Andrew Flett, Ingrid and Steve Hughes. God I miss those guys. Spent many a social evening in their company. Hope all three are fine.

Apart from the Flux gig I always remember the gig by Alternative. Ended up having them along with 20 others back at my house staying that night. They allowed me to stay at their place at the pad not long after.
