It's hard to believe that Mark Perry and GPO collaborated on stuff together.

It's a pairing I cannot imagine going well.

60s Power pop. Or whatever they called it then, R&B?

Awesome lyrics. Tee Hee

The first track sounded like a TG moment, only they would have known better to have not bothered not to put it on a record and just put a 10 second highlight on the end of a track.

That said they released recordings of all their live gigs, and err..

I'll have to think this through a bit.

Prog bit.

Is he trying to take the mick out of pub rock?

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Wed Dec 28, 2022 7:15 pm

Unironic use of the word 'baby' in 1978.

Is it "Maggot Death" Live in Brighton?

The musicianship is charmingly inept.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Wed Dec 28, 2022 7:17 pm

Their second album is alright. Or at least I remember it being alright? Maybe the memory cheats?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed Dec 28, 2022 7:18 pm

Track 5 - Still-Life.

Where the DJ berates the audience, calling them "a bunch of f*cking teds".
