Patrik
Fitzgerald Punk Poet
Punk77 talks to the
man himself in depth to reveal how a shy unassuming lad got mixed up
with the London SS, theatre, and the joys of facing skinheads and
whatever else alone on stage with just an acoustic guitar. Nine solid pages!

Paul Roberts
Interview
Singer with Soulsec and Ex Strangler Paul Roberts gives Old Punk Git a few words
before his gig at the 100 Club about the band he left and
moving forward
and why you could find him fixing your leaky taps one day!
Vice Squad
Having released the rather excellent cd 'Defiant' Vice Squad are
definitely on a roll.
Punk77 decided to interview the delightful Beki Bondage who talks about the Vice Squad of yore, Vice Squad now,
why Gibsons give her a stiffy and why she would piss on Fenders and
much much more in a frank. and if I say so myself. a rather good
interview.
Best Of MySpace
This update Mad Daddy presents the featured band Imaginary Icons
(right) and conducts a scoop
interview with them
giving the lowdown on the band that loves ATV, Swell Maps and the
Homosexuals to name a few.
He also rates Asobi Seksu (left) along with
the Dead Bodies, I Heart Hiroshima and Dark Meat along with
photos from his time at SXSW (lucky bastard!).
The Janitors
French punks kick up a storm bringing back the heady sounds of
Chiswick like the Radiators and Skrewdriver and reveal the trials
and tribulations of being on the road, growing a beer belly and
looking like Billy Idol!
The Members are
perhaps best remembered for the sublime 'Sound Of The Suburbs'
but there was more to them than this tale of suburban angst. Ian
Part Time delves deep with a massive 6 page update.
Not just an
interview for Vice Squad but Beki & the boys now enter the hallowed Punk77 list of
bands. Harder edged pop/rock punk fronted by one of the most
recognisable women in punk.
Shy and
unassuming this face of 1976 and '77 stayed out of the limelight but
now gives us her take on and her part in those punky
times.
Punk & Ted battles,
Rotten getting razored and punks the subject of the public's wrath!
The Summer of 1977 was full of violence and when the Boomtown Rats
were paired with Skrewdriver there was more!
Ants
Invasion As If
running the gauntlet of potential violence from general
members of the public wasn't enough, add in the ingredient of
some 100 skinheads wanting to take on the Ants crew on an
away day gig in Birmingham and you get this cracking eye
witness tale of events as they unfolded. Forget posing down
the Kings Road. This was real life for many people!
A frank, shocking and
entertaining account of the Digby Adam & the Ants gig on the Zerox tour
by Jonha . Read it
here. Its riveting stuff!
