I was there! Btw, i saw them many times and they always played "What A Way To Die" when they played live. 60s Garage Rock worship was quite a thing in music circles in Edinburgh at the time. Check out Lenny Helsing's Green Telescope / The Thanes, or the Beeville Hive Five. There were so many in that scene who played in each others bands. Like what happens now with Australian alt bands. Someone should do one of those Pete Frame 'Rock Family Trees' for 80s Edinburgh.
Dude... many many thanks for sharing this with the C86 generation.. we're still here and appreciating what an awesome period '84 -'92 was for guitar based music.
Never would have thought they would play "What a Way to Die" live! I always wondered how they came across the original by the Pleasure Seekers, Suzi Quatro's band with her sisters as a teen in Michigan...
Ce n'est qu'avec la compil NME86 que je vais m'intéresser à tous ces très jeunes artistes. Aucuns trucages, aucunes frimes,... Seulement l'expression de leurs jeunes coeurs.
@@rezillosross its amazing ! I remember that day well. John Menzies for my dinner ! then back on the bus via every small village via Bathgate to Coatbridge !

One of my favourites, rejuvenated the belief that DIY punk pop could still be a thing.
