    @bax, yes but Bend Sinister was both fast and bulbous

    That's right the mascara snake, fast and bulbous.

    @bax, ah yes off course. I bought that album on cassette: no record player in my student days (There re-purchased it on CD in the early zeroes when I was earning some money. So Mark et al got 2 x a few pennies from me in royalties). Somehow it mind melded with Bend Sinister in my conscious memory (also purchased on cassette back in the day and then re-bought on CD 15 years later). Couple of great albums both!

    @crowriver, probably only mark saw any money at the time. Lawyers fees would exceed returns for the others.

    I was dancing to a live version of Totally Wired by an Italian riot grrrrrl backed by three old geezers. Was ok. I did have to show the young Italians the elbow moves. The band was called Kurtz. Their Cramps Iggy and Dead Kennedy numbers better.

    They were sandwiched between a very original band The Leg (you can wiki them and also Paul Vickers and The Leg) and the act I introduce with my short stuff (to stop them playing over the top of me if I go on too long). They are called Land of Cakes, named after a bakery in Dundee.
