Just a few days to go
Just a few days to go before The Last Supper tour starts. Here's an interview I did with Manchester's Under The Pavement radio show. Peter Jones from Paranoid Visions, who we are playing with in Manchester and Dublin, is also interviewed.
And a new photo of the band. The pose might remind you of something?
Edit: just been told off for not introducing the band... sorry I did that elsewhere but it's certainly worth doing again.
Gizz Butt on guitar, Beki Straughan on vocals, me, Bob Butler on bass and Spike T. Smith on drums.
Thanks,
Steve.

Looking forward to the gig in Manchester after seeing the footage of the sheperds bush gig from a couple of years ago, also really fucking chuffed at the prospect of getting my CRASS collection back now that what looks like all their releases are available through Southern Records, all but 3 singles out my entire CRASS collection got stolen in 1990 so all this has made my day. Can’t fuckin wait. See you on the 1st of October

Sorry to hear that your stuff got stolen. I’m sure you’ll like the new releases. See you at Manchester.

Thanks!

R u selling any crass shirts , save me ordering one.
September 20th, 2010 - 14:51
It ain’t for revolution, it’s just for cash, so of course there’ll be lots of merch…
September 20th, 2010 - 18:07
You don’t have to buy anything Simon. Browsing and talking is free.
September 21st, 2010 - 18:07
I would prefer my money go to Steve and the band .Rather than some tout on the streets .Ill be buying one Steve.Cannot wait.
September 21st, 2010 - 18:09
P.S Will you be selling the Crass logo long sleeve shirts as in the photo of the band?
September 21st, 2010 - 19:48
Sorry Adrian, no long sleeves I’m afraid. Beki made that one herself.
September 20th, 2010 - 18:30
Say hello to Bob for me… used to work alongside him at Southern Records… I remember his rehearsing the bass for a Steve Ignorant gig around 1999/2000!!
September 21st, 2010 - 19:49
Will do. I’ll see him on Friday!

Hi Steve,Thanks So Much For Playing A Gig In Dublin On “The Last Supper” Tour .Really Can’t wait !
I got the very first ticket for the Dublin gig from the SYSTEM according to the record shop guy .Your Face Book Tour Dates page states the Dublin Gig will be at The Village from 18.00 – 21.00,whereas my ticket says it will be at The Button Factory starting at 19.30pm Sharp ?
September 22nd, 2010 - 16:54
See you there Keith. I’m glad you pointed that out (see reply below). It would have been funny if we ended up in the wrong place with no one there.
September 20th, 2010 - 20:00
Sorry,Just wondering which one is correct.Thanks !
September 20th, 2010 - 20:55
Hi Keith….peter from paranoid visions here….venue was switched to the button factory because its a bit bigger, the security crew are more punk friendly thanks to the booker being a crass fan, they have the full multi media facility(incl cinema screen) so the visuals will be astounding! its was our first choice for the gig, but it was toooooo expensive until the new booker took over an severley discounted the placve as he really wanted us to put the gig on there!!!!!
Have no doubt…this will be the gig of the decade
after show party in sweeneys with gary mourtpiece on decks and glasgows’ fire exit playing a set (free adm for the button factory punters!)
September 20th, 2010 - 21:22
Thanks for clarifying Peter. That’s my bad for not keeping up to date and telling Steve! Sounds like it’s going to be a killer gig, we can’t wait.
September 20th, 2010 - 21:43
do you get a buzz when you reminisce?
Gutted i’m going to miss this…
September 21st, 2010 - 19:58
I’m sorry to hear you can’t be there.
September 21st, 2010 - 08:51
hey peter p.v i’m comin to the manchester gig, are you gonna do the DEVO cover!? if i get crass yr good selves AND devo all in the same night i’ll be WELL HAPPY
& no goldblade, even better: ) Andy T would of been the icing on the cake mind
If after all the crass stuff is re released (i liked 10 notes don’t know if i’d need the upgrade tho!) & you go onto Bullshit Detectors & singles is there a possibility of stuff by other bands getting re released, especially, all the Hit Parade & D & V stuff, possibly, by any chance!?? or corpus christi stuff
September 21st, 2010 - 20:58
Ok Sarah!!!! Just for that I’ll sneak the Devo cover in at the end of the set, unless we run out of time!!!!!!
September 21st, 2010 - 09:08
Thanks Steve, and everybody that’s ever contributed to CRASS. Been listening to CRASS, since I was a kid (too young to see you live) – so thanks for this opportunity, can’t wait to be on the train from York to Edinburgh! Your influence removed the blinkers many years ago, and for that, I am eternaly greatful. Just to hear you and Penny at Rebellion was inspiring…Thanks again, John
September 21st, 2010 - 20:00
Thanks for your support John. I’m glad you enjoyed Rebellion. Will see you in Edinburgh.
September 21st, 2010 - 10:44
Its a great thing you are taking these songs out for a tour steve,as said crass are cut out of punk history,however they still get more fans across the world daily and there couldnt be a more importent time for these songs to be sung again,with tories and liberals in power people have hardly ANY alternative to use there vote in future they really are all the same now. So thanx steve wish i could be there but i’m an old married man with kids and no job,and i hope my place will be filled by someone who never got the chance to see crass first time round,paul
September 21st, 2010 - 20:03
Thanks for your mail. I agree with you Paul, the songs are still as relevant today as they were then.
September 21st, 2010 - 13:35

September 22nd, 2010 - 17:01
