And returning briefly to Amebix, if folks wanna check out the band that inspired 'em above all others, then visit MySpace.com - Killing Joke - UK - Rock / Industrial / Punk - www.myspace.com/killingjokeofficial

HELLBASTARD!!!!! listened to that very slab not too long ago. Natural Order... fucking class

Bazz

When Natural Order came around the band had all but abandoned their driving dirtier early sound. Stead we got a cleaned up and totally uninteresting trad metal release which frankly left me cold. Sorry, but I guess due to musical differences, we ain't gonna agree on this matter. But hey, each to their own and all that.

If folks would like to check out Scruff's earlier musical dabblings, then ya really gotta check out anarcho giants The Apostles. Visit the MySpace page dedicated to the band here: MySpace.com - THE APOSTLES - UK - Punk / Post punk / Industrial - www.myspace.com/pre1985apostles Brilliant.

Whilst I've only recently began to explore the many artists associated with the industrial community - Nurse With Wound, Nocturnal Emissions, and more, I'm nevertheless really looking forward to this show.

I'm surprised at you going for the Gong one, Nestor! (Thought they would be too hippyish)

Was it the Here and Now connection?

(I like Nurse With Wound and Gong too, so dunno why I'm surprised).

Indeed it was. Said full length has as yet to push its way through my letterbox, but am consoling myself with listenin' to tracks from their MySpace page. Loving Tried So Hard. Folks can check out said tracks here: MySpace.com - Gong - Psychedelic / Progressive / Experimental - www.myspace.com/radiognomeinvisible

It's cool man. Hope ya enjoy the show. I do have one friend who is going, and who like yourself knew Dek.

And for those who don't know of the man, he was previously in Fife punk band Jap's Eye. Some folks may have ran in to him at the Death Mold/Anaeroba show at The East Neuk.

I do feel I should apologize regarding my remarks re. this show. Hoping no offence was caused. My remarks were regarding my feelings towards the scene. I meant no disrespect to Dek or his memory.

Hey man. Yes I did know about this show, but ain't gonna go. Sure, while I do still listen to Sedition, and hey they were are great band and caught 'em twice, coz of my feelings regarding the scene, don't really wanna make the show. A worthy event, but would prefer I give it a miss. But hey, thanks for posting this nevertheless.

And Cress? Can't say they ever really grabbed me. Did play with 'em when they made it through here in I think 1998, and caught 'em again with Dropdead and John Holmes in Glasgow a short time later. Saw 'em with Doom and Quarantine too at The Tap in Edinburgh '97.

If my talking about eighties giants like Amebix and Hellbastard may appear to contradict my feelings re. the scene, I do make some distiction between the eighties anarcho commmunity, and the scene which it would later spawn. Find today's scene disappointing on so many levels... For example I think the bands of today could learn much from those of yesteryear regarding the pushing of musical boundaries, their linking with other music communities etc.

I wouldn't consider them the best ska punk band when they only sustained the very bare minimal characteristics found in ska punk. They didn't even have a proper horn section.

A horn section is not a prerequisite to playin' ska punk as folks such as Citizen Fish, Bender, Inner Terrestrials, Ex-Cathedra, Leftover Crack, Antimaniax, and a host of other bands have ably demonstrated.

The best ska punk act ever? That acolade would have to belong to Citizen Fish. Check 'em out here: MySpace.com - Citizen Fish - Bath, Warminster., UK - Punk / Ska - www.myspace.com/citizenfishofficial
