The Coils
This is my punk band and a recording from 1977. The band line up was as follows:
Maurice Devine: Vocals
Johnny Condom: Bass
Hoddy Rotten: Guitar
Friction Burns: Drums
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Formed at King Edward VI skool in the summer of 1976 the band played mainly low key gigs and this recording is the rehearsals for the final gig at Morpeth Rugby Club in 1978
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Last gig was in 1978 at Morpeth Rugby club
Your musical influences
IGGY POP Penetration Sex Pistols Velvet Underground Lou Reed
What equipment do you use?
We borrowed everything at the time but I do now own the 6 channel sony mixer that recorded this. The master is quarter inch mono but I have enhanced the tracks using modern digital technology
Anything else?
Some of the lyrics are not very PC now but hey we were 17 and couldnt care less
