Flyer: Sunday June 29, 1986

Al Quint, the singer for No System, reminded me that Psycho and Cancerous Growth were turned back at the border and No System headlined. All I remember is that the crowd started mimicing bumper cars and running into each other while No System broke into a cover of AC Dc's "Whole Lotta Rosie".

Flyer - Friday June 20, 1986

Neon Rome played their set behind a white sheet. At the end they did an encore playing "Anarchy in the UK" where the singer whipped a glass at the ceiling smashing it to bits as the first chord was struck and then at the end proceeded to cave the drum kit in by pulling the sheet down on the drummer.
