[beatroute23]

Ah good times, saw King Kurt the first time supporting The Meteors at a club called Extremes on West St (that become part of an amusement arcade) very early 80's. Along with the music, it was the food fight. flower, bake beans and dead rabbits that created a metamorphosis from Psychobilly to a sillybilly over night. Went on to see em about 25 times at the 101 Club Clapham, klubfoot Hammersmith, and The Fridge in Brixton

[oscarvestdijk]

[BillTheRelic]

Just like 09Toona said all made for a great night! If they ever got back playing I would go and see them and relive my younger years! Ha! Bill(pa)

[cthomann]

Memories of a drunken concert in Zeche Bochum.  Was well worth it.

[dortyhoor]

The singer is a roadie for Bad Manners now.

[adamadamantt]

saw kurt at the hellfire club york sept 83, unbelivable gig could just make them out on stage because of all the flour and other gunge thrown around u dont get gigs like that anymore

[ZenaFilm]

Drunk themselves broke?

Looks to me they had a right good laugh doing it.

It's only rock and roll after all.

There's no it's 'only IT'

What happens after that (!)?

Right love let's go for a dance 'cos I just saved the network from a trojan 'orse.

Let's dance.

[elfantasmo666]

To bad that they drunk therselfs broke!

[CALANUK]

Takes me back a bit... fucking great!

[bahrsalic]

hab die mal in essen gesehen,so geil all das mehl und die nackte vorband!!!!!!schöne zeit damals....

[thejokersfavour]

They were proper krazy back in the day!, the old alcoholic rats!, smeggs hair always impressed me massively

[HardRock9410]

Shit

[theincredibleed]

coming from the one who has 'hardrock' in their name

[Redrita777]

Hab die mal Live in Bochum gesehen. Anfang der 80er. Eins der geilsten Konzerte meines Lebens. Es war so voll. Ich hab die Füsse beide angehoben und bin nicht gefallen. Ehrlich. Abgefahren!!!

[walesspiritof76]

Ich auch.Ganz vorne direkt vor der Bühne.Mann was für eine Mehlpampe..Anschließend war die Kamera hinüber.Hab noch irgendwo Fotos davon...

Das dedeutet wir sind alt....

[green2489]

Did they do 'Zulubeat', 'Wreck a party Rock' and 'Hey Bo Diddley' at this gig?

[green2489]

Hey Bo Diddley, where'dya get that song? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was 16 back in 87 round a mates digs in Crawley with a bunch of us Mods partying on home made cider and lager and fighting to King Kurt records.......with a bunch of 18+ year old 'Defiance' scooter club nutters! It was scarey!!! and a lot of fun!

[macaly1]

FUCKING BRILLIANT!

[dk888888]

Cool song.

[catslaughing]

saw these at the lyceum they were supporting bo diddley and sang a song for him great times.

[thehalfcut]

snap

[09Toona]

That was a fantastic night, Loved them and loved Bo's talking guitar. I was a young 'slip of a thing' back then. So glad I saw both of 'em. Bands were allowed to do mucky stuff back in the day (True Life Confessions) - too bloody 'Health & Safety' these days. No one died for Christ's sake! Except maybe from having a damn good time.

[Lazzer1307]

Great band.. Loved the spinning wheel of misfortune at the KlubFoot.. Great memories.. My old man never could understand why my mates and I wore dresses and Docs to the gig...

[smt25364]

We were supposed to support John Kurt and co. one Saturday in Brixton at the Whitehorse in November 1985!

Our band was Vince Vortex and the Cucumbers...John and Maggott...you may remember Steve Pipers Band from Maidstone?

And the fattest Bastard from Maidsotne RAG who drank in the Albion!!!

I larfed all the way to the Bar when I saw this...Jock Bass Player for Vince and Co. xxx

[fullfire55]

those naughty boys

[twistandbust]

aaahh those were the days. just looking for some slam dancing to show the kids not quite the wall of death but wot a laugh. Saw them at the fridge and was sick for 2 days lol

[yumyumpigsbum]

Saw them play in the 80's 6 hours later the venue burnt down. Excellent conclusion to an awsome gig!

[WHUno1]

King Kurt playin Ace Cafe North circular road london NW10 17th march. supportes by mini skirt blues ect....

[MAUDYMAUDY1]

KING KURT GREAT

[beowulf04844]

mad as a box of frogs

*goes to find old vynal from out of loft :D

[nirvanaman34]

this song rocks and now one can do it any better

[xz4q18]

Class band, these guys knew how to party. If I remember rightly the 12" single of Zulland was a trick record in that when you put the stylus on it it fell off!. It played from the middle outwards! Great guys

[glusburnlad]

saw the band at franks. colne 83. brilliant live gigs. 20p haircuts by the band as well.buckets of beans all round. excellent times!!

[haroldbishop22]

there's fatneck imo

[Jimboola]

Saw them a load of times in Pompey.

Flour and water and skirts with quiffs.

Great days! ;)

[AVAglimmer]

Awesome. Saw these boys live at Shelleys' , Stoke on Trent before it became famous as a rave club. Slam danced the night away. Long lives the Holmes Chapel Mafia 22A.C.F.

[theendofsilence]

They were Fun Days !!

mmm what ever happened to my King Kurt boxers ??
