BONDAGE No. 1 PAGE #3 Source: Bondage No. 1 Date: December 1976 Author: Shane MacGowan Page #1 | Page #2 | Page #3 | Page #4 | Page #5 | Page #6 EATER EATER PLAYED down the Hope & Anchor on Wed 1st Dec. They didn't advertise so it was a hardcore audience plus a few locals. Quite boring really but when Eater came on things got good. Eater are a bunch of school kids from Finchley and they're really hot. They played loud fast and exciting - there's no time for messing around in milkbreak - but the sound was a bit rough so you couldn't hear Brian Chevette (guitar-boilersuit) properly. Still it was great. Chevette played tough simple rhythm chords while Andy Blade (vocals - earring) strode around the stage menacingly or sat and looked bored. The bass player's a bit anonymous (he's called Ian Wood) but Dee Generate (drums - 14) was great. He sits there and whacks away like Rat Scabies. They feed him baby food and he's so small he makes the other blokes look like old farts. They played lots of originals which sounded like the Damned, including "Bedroom Fix" which led into a great double-speed version of "Sweet Jane", and a totally deranged "Waiting For The Man". They also did "You" which is going to be their single and a great "Queen Bitch" which beat the original cos they're young & sharp and Bowies just an old poof. ---> continued on page Previous Page | Next Page
