not really, but I did see them once...

Finsbury Park Tent

Siouxsie and the Banshees, Psychic TV, Wire, The Fall and Gaye Bykers..... that gig was an experience, I thought I was going to throw up when Psychic TV were on... mind melting..... Gaye Bykers threw their guitars down at the end of their set and let them feedback for about 10 mins at full volume... :lol: My ears were never the same after that!!

It was sometime in the later half 80's... '87 maybe? I seem to remember only being about 17 at the time.

Yeah, late 80's. They released a video with their album "drill your own hole", which was quite innovative and almost bust the record company.

Saw them Newcastle Riverside.

I was only thinking about these the other day.They were at The Reading Festival in 1989,i dont remember much about their set coz i was pissed out of me head on cider that me and my mates bought off a local farmer,out the back of his van.The cider was really nice tho.

Great band.

DYOH came in two vinyl versions one with a pre-cut hole as a normal album would and the other you had to drill your own hole...

I don't think I've ever seen it on CD before, there's plenty of LP's around though.... I guess not many people had CD players back then so they never pressed many. actually when it was released (87?) I don't think I knew anyone with a cd player. :D I'd imagine it's pretty rare...
