| The flyer for the gig at The Crypt names the supports as The Mighty Lemon Drops and 1000 Violins. I was a big fan of both but neither of them played that night. The support ended up being I Fuck A Nun. They were 2 guys who did poetry at the Room At The Top a few times. This time they had a band though which included Ed Ball (The Times) on either guitar or bass and Tony Conway (Mood Six singer) on drums even though he'd never played drums before. It ended up with them having an argument and one of them slashing themselves with a stanley knife and having to be taken to hospital! The TVP's were amazing as usual. |

| I can 100% confirm that we played at that gig (Deptford Crypt). Dan & Emily invited us down to play this (our first London gig). We all stayed at Dan & Emily's flat on Poynders Road in Clapham, & the following night Dan put us on at The Room At The Top, with The Membranes, and in fact "performance art" act "I Fuck A Nun" also performed that night. This gig got "rave" reviewed in the NME by "The Legend" the following week &, for better or for worse, our (the bands) lives were quite probably changed forever as a result of this! |
