A Monochrome Set classic, "Jet Set Junta" here



And some biog blurb here...


"The band feature original members Bid (Vocals) and Andy Warren (Bass) with Steve Brummell pounding the drums and the return of John Paul Moran on keyboards. Formed in 1976 as The B-Sides with Adam Ant as an original member, the band soon became The Monochrome Set and were heavily influential in the post punk scene that evolved after the initial scorched earth of punk. The bands early releases were on the legendary Rough trade label before signing with Virgin off shoot Din Disc and have since had a long association with Cherry Red Records. They have been prolific in their recorded output over the years with an album count now into double figures.The band split in 1985 although they recorded and played live sporadically over the years before reforming full time in 2010, although any momentum was soon halted when Bid suffered a SAH (a form of a Stroke). Thankfully he recovered and a new album was released in 2012 entitled Platinum Coils. The band have continued to tour all over Europe, the USA and Japan and released the follow up Super Plastic City in 2013. They are now touring to promote this year's new album Spaces Everywhere on the Tapete record label."

      Lost Cat Henslowe & Underhill Road

      By jfern · Posted

      Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know

      That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring

      The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.

      Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
