Athletico Spizz 80 - Leeds 1979 - Where's Captain Kirk?

AKA Spizzenergi, Spizzoil. English punk / new wave band led by vocalist / guitarist Spizz (real name Kenneth Spiers). They are notable as the first band to sign for Rough Trade Records. Found some old 35mm negatives wasting away in a box in my attic. Lovingly restored them (viva Photoshop!), and uploaded them here for your entertainment. They were taken at Futurama Leeds venue: Leeds Queens Hall, 1980? Some of these I have never seen before myself. Processed the negatives at home and never got round to printing them all. Hope you enjoy!
