    Crass created more than music, they created a generation, we might be small, we might be almost senior citizens now, but we ended up having a cultural impact. A very important band.

      Absolutely agree with that, with crass it went beyond just music,it was a movement that inspired and made a lifestyle for vast amounts of folks,I know crass had a big influence on me and many bods that I know or knew,I remember getting pulled aside once at school for having crass lyrics on the front of my R E book, there's a place near mine, that does free veggie meals,showers, haircuts etc,I've been in for haircuts once or twice, turned out it was eve libertine from from crass doing em, and penny Rimbaud was one of the servers there,she's really nice and it was good to talk with her about the old Anarcho days, the fact that people are still talking about crass all these years on says it all to me.

    I've watched afew of your punk themed vids. Just noticing you're pretty small. Keep up the great work. This sort of oddball reporting from that old scene really fills a niche in a saturated genre. Keep it up.

    I saw Crass in Glasgow, Scotland, around 1979 - 1980. It was more like an art installation than a rock concert.

    Crass was anarchy in full armour . An artful explaination of the fact that no one on earth is truely free . To quote 'the last poets'
    " planet earth for all its worth ,
    Is a jail without no bars !"😊

    Crass just wont go away. Even 40 years on from their last gig in Aberdare south Wales, the ticket also featuring Annie Anxiety & Flux of Pink Indians, remains in an old photo frame left on the shelf.

    The picture you have for the Wild Bunch is of the Bristol (UK) based Wild Bunch.
    They didn't form until 1982, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't them playing in The CUANDO, or anywhere else with Crass.

      They were really hit or miss. Every now and then, a juicy riff or melody would emerge that was, if nothing else, utterly original. They were definitely an irritant, proudly so. Y'know: punk rawk
