A new seven inch single from Your Heterosexual Violence

 

Here are two new tracks from Your Heterosexual Violence. Both tracks were recorded at Press Play studios in South London, with Andy Ramsay (Stereolab) recording and producing. It is available as a very limited seven inch single on Teabar Records. Lathe cut and on black or clear vinyl. It sounds great!

'The Plan' is described by the band as "the most bonkers punk rock that you will ever hear (from us)".

All proceeds from the downloading of 'Pauper's Funeral' will be donated to the disability rights campaign group Black Triangle. Please pay what you can afford. Black Triangle is established to galvanise opposition to the current vicious attack on the fundamental human rights of disabled people by government using Work Capability Assessments to re-classify sick and disabled individuals as fit for work.

GPC Super-8 film from 1983

This wonderful Super-8 film by Colin Fancy was shown at the Greenwich Performance Collective reunion gig last December. At the time, it was played on a Super-8 projector while we played X-Amount tracks to go along with it. It has now been digitised and Colin sent us the footage. We have edited the X-Amount tracks to fit (although we didn't need to do much) and it works well.

A rather lovely glimpse into a radical past in South London.

Colin Fancy says: "At last! here is the 1983 super 8 cinema veritie film of GPC out and about at local festivals doing their stuff etc. all the faces from those days are there for you to spot big thanks you to Paulo Sanhueza who offered at the reunion to digitise this and to Simon Birch and Andrew Panayi for the X-Amount soundtrack"
