Brave Men Run
Expressway

Paul Burridge writes: SY played a
lunchtime gig at Acklam hall in Notting Hill London. This is just around the
the corner from the Rough Trade record shop and the same venue where the
Fall recorded their famous 'Chaos' Tape. (also saw Einsturzende neubauten
there round about same time and the trashed the place!) The SY gig nearly
didn't happen: the support band 'Slaughter Joe' - fronted by a main member
of the Creation records label team - had gotten into a row with 'the
membranes' (another creation band) the night before as creation moved from
Indie label to main player. There was definitely an atmosphere in the hall
and rumours that no one would play. SY did play and were fantastic. if
'Brave men' wasn't the first song, it was certainly early. They also played
'Expressway' - remember Thurston jamming screwdrivers in the neck of his
guitar. Weirdest thing after the gig was stumbling out into broad daylight!
A lot of people, myself included, trooped round the corner to the RT shop to
stock up on essential vinyl.
