    I liked the banshees a lot but when I went to see them in 1978 on their first tour Siouxsie came on stage glared at the audience and said "you've only come to see us because you heard us on the radio" well no TV appearances, No internet back then, no MTV yet, no album and the single had only just been released, she was right I heard JP play their session a year earlier and waited for them to tour, I never did understand her comment and still don't today "we come from the capital and we are what's happening and you live in the provinces and are backward and stupid compared to us" is how most people in the 3000 seat venue seemed to perceive it, listening to the reaction in the bar after the gig everyone was of the opinion "who does she think she is saying that". . I'm not convinced her comment was a derogatory comment but it was perceived as one by most people there that night, but the music was and still is great, I wonder if she re saying that, Newcastle city hall (every band wanted that venue on the tour for some reason) Quote > Harvey Goldsmith <
    back then the NME became the go-to news outlet for Punk, New wave and reggae after it threw off its hippy heritage, sacked some of the old guard reporters and new staff started reporting at gigs, homemade fanzines (sniffin glue etc) sold at gigs were also another news feed about the new music sweeping across the UK, great times never to be repeated,
