“No Rock N Roll! No Bullet Belts!!” Thus spake Mark Perry on the eve of the first Alternative TV shows in London for some time. Mark P was always at the very vanguard of punk’s first wave. Always iconoclastic, always kicking against the fashion pricks, the fascist dicks, the fatuous schtick tied to the Pistols and The Clash. Having pretty much invented UK punk fanzine culture alongside Royal ape watcher Danny Baker, Mark P set out his stall with the band Alternative TV. Always an alternative to the prevailing trends, as evinced by the pithy punk pop acid wit of their early singles, the post punk defining debut and ensuing ‘challenging’ records like ‘Vibing Up The Senile Man’. Bugbear talked to Mark on Boogaloo Radio ahead of the ATV Weekender in The Dublin Castle, wherein the classic ‘The Image Has Cracked’ will be performed in it’s entirety. CLICK ON THE IMAGE AND CRACK ON… With music from the likes of Johnny Moped, Starsha Lee, The Vibrators and wowsers even Madonna…and the very wonderful Rachel Darq joins us here too, with news of Grrrlesque Brrrlesque. That’s Friday 13th December in The Dublin Castle.
