I’ll cut this long story short; just saw this movie here on the net, about Creation Records, the best label of the 80’s… because they had The Jesus And Mary Chain. The bands you can see in this movie all played in Biel here, up to 1984. After the Jesus And Mary Chain they became too big for our town.
Anyhow, we saw JAMC live before they had their first single out – a 20 minute set ending in feedback, throwing of microphone, Gillespie flooring his tom. The cassette was stolen from the mixing desk, unfortunately. And I think it was Peppi Amabile (of Monster’s fame, later) who predicted them a big future. Nobody would have bet a dime on him being right. Sorry, Peppi.
all the benefit goes into kiva loans!
