Were called Arthur Comics on the Streets Compilation singing 'Isgodaman' before seeing the light and changing their name. What can you say about the Shits. How to describe them ? Three chord punk with the wit of the TV Personalities and the Albertos and with the intelligence of Magazine. They were definitely not terminal or stupid nor could you count their 'brain cells on one finger or less' Terminal Stupid / I Can't Come (1977 Ghetto Rockers) is sublime. The latter a paean to unrequited orgasm due to too much speed 'I fooled you I was using my thumb / The truth of the matter is I can't come'

 Giovano Dadomo ex writer for Sounds and Zig Zag was the leader and fooled NME into giving it single of the week.  Dave Fudger , the bassist,  was also a writer at Sounds. Album 'I Can't Come' available at Damaged Goods featuring outtakes / demos and sessions. The album includes what surely would have been a classic single 'Bring me the head of Yukio Mishima' and other examples of Mr Dadomo's intense verbiage. In fact after listening to the version of 'I Can't Come' you'll think it should be changed to 'I Can't Shut Up' !!!
