ON THIS DAY ... in 1980 - SECURITY RISK
29 photos from the Moonlight in West Hampstead, 1980
Being at the poppier end of punk you’d have thought there’d be no end of labels chasing them, but if you read the Punk 77 interview > HERE … it seems whatever they were offered was shite. Strangely, the band evolved into a live version of Cash Pussies, with the Vermorels keen to pull some cash-creating strings, but that went nowhere as well. Before that happened I seem to recall the name changed to The Risk. Guitarist Tony went on to form the psyche-mod Mood Six with bassist Andy Godfrey.
Tomorrow I bring you 15 photos of Korova Milkbar from 1990.
