ON THIS DAY ... in 1981 - ELGIN MARBLES
49 photos from the Clapham 101 Club, September 1981
So here’s an odd band and as I am working through things both chronologically, and alphabetically when there is nothing specifically tied to an actual day, you’ll be seeing them three times this month. Elgin Marbles were a curious amalgam of pub rock and postpunk. Kitsch and glitzy pop stuff met itchy cool guitar and punky energy. All very strange but it really worked live. Sadly they appear to have left no traces online at all.
