“Regrets, we’ve all had a few, and this was one of mine. It was the first London show for the original US psychobilly band. There had been a lot of hype over their mix of punk and rockabilly, and the show was packed, sweaty and with a buzz of high expectation. The band looked good, but after staying for most of the set, I left, as I really couldn’t stand their music. By that stage, an air of disappointment had permeated the crowd who realised that this band was maybe not the future of rock and roll. When I dropped the prints off at NME the next day, I got a rollocking from the photo editor, who couldn’t believe I’d not been there during the encore when lead singer Lux Interior had dropped his trousers and waggled his backside at the audience.” David Corio
