[kj] (OT) Treponem Pal

[Darren A. Peace]

I have to mention Play Dead, who were great! Pal (presumably named  
after the dogfood) were ok, but I like the Young Gods. Thought the  
singer was a crap mime, especially the hand deely hoppers business.  
The first support, however, were an abomination, and the posing twat  
singing needed a taser.
