The primary reason for playing any of these was that they were fab - and easy to play...
|
"Enemies" - The Radiators From Space |
Punk with a top tune from this much neglected band. The song was by Phil Chevron, later of the Pogues, and was the only cover actually recorded by the June Brides. |
|
"Television Families" - The Cortinas
|
Another top lost song. The best thing about it were the breaks in it - allowing all of the band to play their own short and generally terrible solo! |
|
"Suzy is a Headbanger"- The Ramones
|
The Ramones - what can you say? A great opportunity, also, for Big Jon to do his Joey Ramone impression. |
|
"Something Going on" -The Pastels and "Waiting
for the Man" -Velvet Underground (medley)
|
Two great songs - only one set of chords to learn! Played only once at The Mystery Tour gig |
|
"Teenage Kicks" The Undertones
|
Talk about pop music. It doesn't get
much better than this (I'm talking about their version!)
|
|
"Don't Dictate" Penetration
|
A great song, great attitude, unfairly murdered by
me singing it so badly.
|
|
"Shake Your Body" The Jacksons
|
A rehearsal only treat (ie, it was so bad we daredn't
play it in public!). Great song, though.
