Constructed around the enduring nucleus of Sid Truelove and Zillah Minx, Rubella
Ballet formed at a gig in 1979 when Crass invited their audience to use their
equipment. Rubella Ballet assembled a diverse range of material that
encompassed all points from perky to doomy, with lyrics that juxtaposed protest and
dissent against more impressionistic themes. Danger of Death their last album, was a hit with critics and the group’s faithful following and drew upon a lifetime’s opposition to oppression and exploitation. Many cite it as the band’s crowning achievement.
Brigandage started in 1981 to remind people of the glory, colour and inclusiveness of 1976! There have been many members along the way but this version includes Terry, a founding member of Sex Gang Children, on bass; Carl of the Chefs and more, is our guitar hero and Alan takes care of the drumming.
Family of Strangers formed in Nov '23 and have loads of punk rock service under their belts. Inspired by legendary punk bands like Penetration, The Damned, The Cramps, UK Subs and Rancid, Family of Strangers delivers a raw and powerful sound. *Punktuation magazine (R.Rae) had this to say "the likes of ‘Dressed To Kill’ and ‘Disintegration Nation’ rank among the best of pogo-worthy punk tunes. Everything they play is delivered with the confidence and panache you’d expect of a headline band”.
