MySpace a place for friends

Way back in '77 a guitarist and a singer from the East End (Riff Starr and Gary) started a punk rock band, trouble was they had no equipment and no money. Then long standing friend Joe Strummer (thanks Joe) gave them £500 from the Clash's advance from CBS Records.

They got the band together with Paul 'B. P.' Hurding as the bands first drummer. Shag Nasty gigged constantly around the East End and also down West London where the emerging punk scene provided a ready audience, gigging with the likes of Menace, Screwdriver & X-Ray Spex with Polystyrene. After a few months, B.P. was poached by the X-Ray Spex. The search was then on for a new drummer.... welcome to Nick Shirley.

The local council had got cold feet two days prior to the event and decided pull the plug but by this time, a large gathering of Punks had started to emerge and the Police turned up in force and made arrests for an unlawful gathering and obstruction.

A last minute ditch attempt was made to save some of the festival and they re-located to Barbarellas night club. The band borrowed local heavy metal band Warhead's instruments and both bands played a hurried set in front of a large mass of cheering punks.

Q: Guess what??

A: They are back together (2008) and they have to date played a number of gigs in town (London) and the most recent spectacular Rebellion Punk festival in Blackpool on the 8th of August 2008.

They will be gigging again very soon...and they could be near you...Shag Nasty...You know it makes sense.
