Steve Ignorant Band + Club Brat

CRASS songs 1977-1984 and Ignorant Classics with his band

Friday 23rd October - Club 85, Hitchin

We're excited to be hosting punk royalty, Steve Ignorant at Club 85, Hitchin for the very first time, alongside support from Club Brat

The band will be performing the best CRASS material from 1977 - 1982. 'Do They Owe Us A Living' and 'Big A Little

A' to name a few. 'Poison In A Pretty Pill' and 'Berkertex Bribe' are some of the songs that will be performed by

Carol Hodge, the female vocalist.

This is your chance to hear the songs of arguably Britain's top and most influential Anarcho-Punk band, as played by the original lead singer Steve Ignorant and his superb band. Performed with the same anger and intensity of those days, the band has given these songs a new lease of life.The political and lyrical ideas of CRASS are even more relevant today as they were then and with the entire CRASS Catalogue having been remastered and reissued through One Little Independent in April 2019, the interest in CRASS and what it stands for has increased and intensified.

"What it says on the tin. A raw, ragged but quite incredible performance. The same members as Slice Of Life but this

is Crass songs given a new lease of life." says Ged Babey.

"Is it just pure nostalgia? Young cynics may ask. Fuck, no I'd say. Nostalgia would be crass. And this is the Steve

Ignorant Band 2021. There is no 'going thru the motions', no 'You might remember this one..' intro's. And the blood

(coursing thru their veins) sweat (dripping onto the stage) and tears (running down the co-vocalists face) are very

real. This is authentic looking back in anger...."
