Worst Gigs: - When the P.A. was shagged at a benefit gig so we couldnt play, but we went back two months later with our own rig and we nailed it.
Funny Moments; Breaking in and out of Free Festivals and Squats to play live !!?? Believe !!
Disasters: - Not Quite! We went to Bristol to play a gig at a free Squat Party that got raided by 50 coppers in riot gear before the party had even got started. Fortunately the Squatters were game, so the front doors were barricaded by the squatters and as the police tried to batter their way in through the barricade we all sneaked out of the back door in small groups and escaped via a building site next to the squat. We emerged safe to find the street in front of the squat full of fifty riot police and about three hundred hopeful partygoers waiting for the party to get started.
