The Hook ’n’ Pull Gang – Live at Clowns on the 4th of April 1986

Another great gig by this wonderful band that sadly published only one record during its first incarnation.
This tape was given to me by Fritz Van Helsing who sadly passed away a while back.
The sound has been cleaned a bit, thanks to Robin Woods. Don’t worry though. It’s still fiercely raw.



Set list:
• Pour it down your throat
• King clown
• Revenge of Al Green
• Gasoline
• Lick the pavement
• The ride
• Lovers
• Gonna be strong
• Headless chicken
• The ride
• Revenge of Al Green

The Thanes – Live in 1987 at Rumours

I'm afraid that I have been neglecting this blog for a few months. Given that I left you last October with The Green Telescopes, it seems appropriate to me to resume with The Thanes.

This concert was filmed in 1987 during a series of Thursday nights organized by Avalanche Records in the Cavern and Rumours, Edinburgh. The videos of the gigs were to be shown later in Avalanche Records shop.

Here they are at last for you lo-fi viewing / listening pleasure.

Warning: This video may feature a grumpy Lenny 😉
