Dead Kennedys - Tales from the Trial (as reported in the UK music press)


As mentioned in the article above, to raise money for the legal costs of defending the case, the Alternative Tentacles manager in the UK booked a tour by the Canadian hardcore band, Toxic Reasons. I was fortunate to see them twice on this tour, at the 100 Club (I watched the gig standing side by side to the late, great John Peel) and a little later in The Ship in Brighton. On this occasion at the end some scruffy bloke got on stage with Toxic Reasons when they played 'New Rose'. 'Hey', I said to my mate, 'That bloke looks a bit like Captain Sensible in a wig'. It was of course, the Sensible one!
