Ticket - Monday April 30, 1984


I hate to slag the Clash because I love them, but this was one show I did not love. This was when Joe Strummer reformed the band without Mick Jones. The guitar players had these faux hawks and Strummer was sporting one himself. This was during the Cut the Crap era. I got to the floor to watch up close and the Clash had lost the energy of their earlier days. It was over.

Asexuals "Be What you Want" LP

This was the first full length by this Montreal four piece. It was a raging slab of hardcore and rivalled SNFU as one of Canada's best new hardcore bands. The song 'contra-Rebels" was a little ambiguous in interpretation and led to Tim Yohannon of MRR calling out the band for being being mouth pieces of the new right. they weren't. The song was used irony with the chorus "We'll blow you reds away". Anyway we knew different. the record goit released on first Strike Records, which i don;t think released anything else. The songs on here are:

1. Be What You Want
2. Contra Rebel
3. Trash Zone
4. Mind Contraction
5. 3 Chord Speed
6. C.F.R.
7. We Seek No Glory
8. Too Slow
9. Asexual
10. Mr. Useless
11. Ego Trip
12. Iraq Iran
13. Mr. Rat
14. Weekend Alky
