ON THIS DAY ... in 1985 - LET'S WRECK MOTHER

37 photos from the 100 Club on May 2nd 1985

LET’S WRECK MOTHER are seen here supporting Specimen at the 100 Club and Sophie Chery (formerly of Sexbeat) is in her glorious Spider-Man dress (Jon Klein of Specimen in a matching suit!). Did you know there’s a Spider-Girl comic coming out any day now? She’s not necessarily a good character, having been mentored initially by Bullseye, and made for a wonderfully snarky soul when first introduced in Spider-Boy, a much maligned comic which I find has actually been way better than Spider-Man itself recently. I digress! Anyway, LWM was a short-lived affair, guitarist Adam going on to work with Rubella Ballet. Drummer Marcus (also in Tabatha’s Nightmare) was formerly with the wonderfully unpredictable Dormannu.
