recall the birthday party ?

did anyone get the albums ? saw them at hacienda,1983 ish ??.original wild rockers and it was ace and i was very very impressed when the bass player brought a pack of 6 beers on stage and drank the fooking lot in about 40 minutes during the set while smoking 20 cigs at the same time !!.nick cave's first band.king ink,big jesus sold me trash can,release the bats and all that

NEVER got INVITED to one! WHY?

Great stuff, the chaos at the gigs on their first U.S. tour in 81 (?) made me a bit jealous to have not seen them, they never came anywhere near my way, so I had to make do with the Ikon video. The bass player Tracy died a few years ago sadly
