The early days with the flour throwing and snakebite drinking competitions that saw them banned from most venues to the reunion gig at the Astoria when they swung around on trapezes. Classic! Alas King Kurt these days is basically Smeg. He's still a great chap on stage and the flour still gets chucked around. Worth seeing if you can and great singalong lyrics... cheers RobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257597930634792329.post-24668565979866195022007-08-29T02:34:00.000+01:002007-08-29T02:34:00.000+01:00Fancy a trip to Northamptom for your birthday beer...Fancy a trip to Northamptom for your birthday beer fella?<BR/> Oohwallahwallaha<BR/><BR/>BEDLAM BREAKOUT 4 <BR/><BR/>Sat 29th September <BR/>@ The Soundhaus, Northampton <BR/><BR/>KING KURT <BR/>DEMENTED ARE GO <BR/>Devilish Presley <BR/>The Rock It Dogs <BR/>Junkyard <BR/>Luna Vegas <BR/>+ DJ <BR/>3 p.m - 11 p.m, tickets £15Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257597930634792329.post-82053259599270921242007-08-23T11:53:00.000+01:002007-08-23T11:53:00.000+01:00@ so it goes, bobbins?

It's just another word for pants :)<BR/>@Rob, aaaaah, the Clarendon...I remember it was in three parts, there was the scuzzy hotel bar on the ground floor, that no one dare go into, the Clarendon upstairs, and downstairs was the Moonlight club, which was a real shithole, sometimes LITERALLY, as the toilets were above the level of the club, and when they flooded (quite often, unfortunately) a river of piss and *shudders* other stuff would gush down the stairs into the Moonlight. <BR/>Happy days!Iain Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12133650347270991005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257597930634792329.post-53652010062551167102007-08-23T11:47:00.000+01:002007-08-23T11:47:00.000+01:00KIng Kurt will always make me think of the Clarend...KIng Kurt will always make me think of the Clarendon Ballroom in Hammersmith.
