X-Bein (7)
1981 ?

A couple of rehearsals at Staines Road were followed up by an astonishly inept live performance at the Kaleidescope Studios, Kingston. Although hampered by a few technical difficulties (not least the keyboard player's sudden inability to operate his synth..) the choice of material and lack of rehearsal made this one of the most embarrasing gigs of all time. The band's attempt at 'Feedback', normally a winner, typifies the whole evening - particularly the moment when the drummer loses the plot completely and slows the tempo right down to some kind of grotesque shuffle.
Be warned - tape recordings exist of this gig and they make for very unpleasant listening.
It was inevitable that the band should now look towards solo projects following this debacle....
