Astoria last night / Good support bands.

[Iain Ferguson]

Steve, good one there,

I can only think of Vardis ( i'm sure they supported hawkwind, or did 
they just cover Silver Machine, o the old memory is going....  Worst 
bands, how about for starters Baron Rojo from about 83

there's only all nighters and my favs from those are
- Naz Nomad and the nightmares - the damned at their psychedelic best.
- here and now
- Larry Wallace's pink faires ( 25th anniversay gig WOW they were good, 
still lookng for a boot of that one)
- Rythmnites
- Citizen fish / Culture Shock
- hippy Slags
- Tubhila dog
