Does anyone remember First Offence? Saw them support Generation X at the Oranges and Lemons in Oxford October 79. Pete W and Steve Green on Bass & Guitar, some bloke in cowboy boots on drums, and Plank (Last seen as Radiohead guitar tech) on vocals. "First Offence Rockers Plank is God" was painted in 6ft letters on the stump of a railway bridge beside the A40 and stayed there until the late 80s.
A lifetime ago

Yep, arrived a few weeks before and my first two gigs were the Buzzcocks/Joy Division at the New Theatre (October 30th 1979) and the First Offence/GenX gig which must have been in October as well. Pete got the p*ss taken for wearing a Generation X T shirt on stage.

Hi Guys. We are talking about about a very early stumbling into music. lots of anger and anarchy and lets rock. but wait a minute how do you play these things?
If anybody found a tape and it had my prints on, I would deny it in court.........probably.
