England, and especially London, was
an exciting place to be in the late 70's if you were a punk rocker. The thrill
of a music revolution and the fear of violent attack from "normal" people
gave life an edge. Venues like the Roxy, the Red Cow, the Nashville, the Marquee and the 100 Club
were rocking most nights with a manic crowd pogoing to a succession of new bands.
Bands
which were bucking current fashion trends and cocking a snook at the increasing
tedium and pretentions of the lumbering conventional
music industry machine. |
