about
In the mid 90s, a young anarcho punk, Mark the Mohawk, decided to run a series of gigs in a nondescript little boozer called the Acton Arms on the Kingsland Road. He called this “Making Punk a Treat Again”, & any money raised left after expenses went to good causes like the Anarchist Black Cross. Somehow I ended up being the support act quite a bit there. Mark Astronaut was another inspirational individual, a lovely man, a great songwriter & a unique performer - & also someone who encouraged other people to get creative too. His new drummer mentioned in this song turned out to be Andi Tuck, who for a while played drums with me too. This acoustic version has updated a few of its references. Sadly the Acton Arms is no more, & Hackney definitely isn’t as punkrock as it used to be either. But who doesn’t like a song that encourages you to shout “fuck off” loudly at regular intervals? When we first recorded it in 1997 we left a gap & just did the shouty bit on the last chorus, but sometimes you realise in some situations, subtlety is over-rated.
supported by 9 fans who also own “Anarchy in Hackney”
What a tribute, I haven’t the words to say how this group have been the soundtrack to my life, through good and bad.
Anything that helps is the least I can do, missed dearly. Joe Zux
