 rtrs time to wake up and enrerge from the cocoon. lihen the new-wave first took
shape it drew stl'ength, in the sear"ch fo'a solid identity, frorn thereve'ything
that went before was shitr attitude. it bolste'ed the force of the rnusic and
bnought the seventies to life, Rockrnr::o-rr ainrt just started and the new-wave
is the rockrnr"oll of today, rtrs not the onry influenee, with bands like clash
and the slits rooking to reggae for much of thein inspiration,. but the pistols,
the Ramones and many more af.e power-packed seventies rockrnrroll bands.
As a D.J. I attempt to turn new-wave qigs into rookrnrroll experiences.
The Heartbreakers are always a g::eat band to work witho because Eddie cochran is
as fundamental to their outLook as are the pistols. For the sake of us all, let's
hope that their proposed gig wlih Snakinr Stevens proves to be a success,
0f course for mdny people into the new bands, presley, Carl per.kins, the
Beatles, stones, seeds, }fho ..... were making their nost vitar sounds before
musical awaleness set in. But whatts that matter. rgsy, l4c5 and the New york DolLs
have all found favour with people not there the fi'st tine around, rtrs ar1 down
to an app'eciation of what they were saying and how they lrere saying it, in their our
times. Music is a penfect rnedium for: shoving two fingers up at the establishment,
once it beeomes respectable it foses all its potency. Thatrs what cccur:red dr:ring
the seventies. A11 the aqgression had faded and rock sta.rs seemed nore interested
in becoming tax exiles or partying it up with royalty than looking afte" their
fans who, after all had put thera on the top,
What they needed was a firm boot up the arse. And thatrs what they got.
No more farting about, just
'aw, honest r:ockinr, brought back on the intinate leve1
of the band and thei' audience. Back to the roots, expressed in a conternporary
nannen' Yes the music of today has a sound of itsr own, but the unde::lying spirit
is ttre same. Frustration and boredorn. unlike recent trends though this time its
spewed out fnorn deprivation, from low wages and long dole queues.
mistake, this ainrt the first new-wave, and if itrs the fast,
Make no
then whatrs the point carrying on. But things have to move on. If they stand still
they become extinct. Take Presley, known to rirost of us in his frash Las vegas or
all-Ame::ican boy er"as. But in the fifties he was an outrager who offended the public
monality and was looked upon as a coffupting infruence, rtts ironic that straight
society and itst media that today slags off Johnny Rotten and nourns the death of
E1ivs, once considered Presley a social outcast, Sholt merno::ies theylve gotl
It is sonetimes this bigotry towards the sounds of the fifties and sixties
that br:ings about st"ange 'neactions at new-wave gigs to the incrusion of such
material. You donrt have to have been there to enjoy it. we.rre all children of
rockrnr:ro11. rtts so exciting being involved with rnusic right there and now. but
rockrnrroll hasnrt started in the seventies, neither, I hope. has it ended"

August 29 at the Vortex turned out to be
an unexpected ki11er, a magic night.What was
so good about it? The Rich Kids, mate, that,s
what"
See Monday nightrs getting to be a high-
'l
ght of the week. I t's somethi ng to do wi th
i form of Mick Jones of The Clash.Wahool,
the Vortex h'eing on but that ajn't the sole
reason.."Monday is com'ing like a Vortex on
wheels. But it's somewhere to go where ya
get four bands for a quid but hard luck if
you wanna drink and f,ind you've only got-
fglty pence left" But if you've flogged some
albums in the afternoon then you'll-6e 0K
till two. Then you'11 wonder what hit ya when
youre standing in the street like you made
it there via a scene change in the movies
yeah, when it's two o'clock and the bars clos
it's sweep 'em out time and no mistake.
As I said Monday's a highlight but not
so much for the bands, unless it's the Slits
or the Banshees" Up the pub at six, out
three hours later legless and ready to take
on the Vortex.
In the door, down the stairs ,'into the
bar then ",.anyth'ing can happen and it often
does. See we have'funrmuch to the disgust of

glance at the giggf ing huddle fa1ling over

These are the people who cheered with
seld-indulgent glee when the news of Elvis
Pres'leyts death was announced. The posy sheep
who flung glasses and gobbed at Danny Baker
when he tried to explain that you shouldn't
cheer when a geezer snuffs it and Elvis went t
worse shit 20 years ago than you ever did.WhatJ
ever he did with his last 15 years Elvis was
the bloke who stanted it all.Anyway soon the
jeers turned to cheers and the girl wjth a
face about as attroactive as a bui accident
who'd flung the glass at Dan.'s head wanted to
kiss him.
These people make me sick. Posers revel-,
ling in the attention they're getting with
their fancy dress" Yet they've-got the l,lew

Anyway I'm. go'ing off the track. The four
bands came and went in a haze Chelsea went
down well and Neo created a hard time for
themselves when their s'inger started shout-
ing about wanting to see some poets, but under
his circumstances 4 a barrage of abuse and
glasses cos he was trying to be inject a bit
of originality into the music- he can't be
blamed for blowing his. New Yawk cool.
Al1 night we'd been hearing that Glen
Matlgck's new band the Rich fiAs were
gonna be playing after Chelsea.And they
were gonna have an extra guitar on in the
I'd been Iook'ing foruard to seeing that
lot for a long time.A.lthough they-formed
some months ago they havenrt been able to
do too many gigs cos they need another
guitarist, another Mick Jones ,going on
the set they did on Monday. He fjtted like
a glove n and looked incredibly happy
about it too, bouncing around the stage
with a big grin flashing across his face
at regular intervals.
The band were obvjously rea1ly happy to
be on a stage again and poured tfre lol
into a succession of dynamic songs.
It's a very melodic sound but whacked
out with the aggression of the early Small
Faces and when topped with the sting.ing

the group's none-adherence to the punk

I s'pose the-highl iiirts-of the set
were the numbers I knew the old

again by the Rubinoos,which they delivered
twice. It was great, after just half-an-hour

good for months when they were doing it.
The other familiar song was "pretty

Generation X have assets that make you a fan overnight: incredibl-y well conci6ved
melodic songs both live andrif you heard John Peels showrin the studio. And whether you like
it or not;Generation X with the Rar;ronesrane the seventies prenier pop group.Both of these
bands without the pre-
fabrication of the
Chinnictrap/I'{itce Leand er
epitomise lrhat infiuences
and ideas put to intelligent
original use can achieve.
An ideal mesh of new wave
speed/enerry in combination
with attractive music and
genui-ne l;mics r not just the
insistent U flat shell shock
chords most bands seem to be
satisfled with.
I^lhereas the Ramones are

suprlses me T'rith its flexibil.ity
and range. Thrashing around sta,ge

reflect pride in the material.
' I dontttheusually bother with lyrics

dismissed with a routine adjective.
I lcrolrrl knowrrny enthusiasm is be-
coming redundantrbut its not often
these days a band makes you r'rish they
could get it all down on vinyl.
fu1d nol'r some people look upon Gen X
as black sheep because theytre the
tpop groupt of the lot, (apparently a
label in disgrace)rhowever when the
detractors write a rYoutht ft11 listen
to them. Pop may not fit the new wave
