    Jason and the Scorchers

    Just been to see them in Sheffield tonight.  I was blown away.  Best band I've seen, and I've seen a few!!

    Jason told a cool story of him and Steve Earle writing A Bible and a Gun together sometime in 1988, which culminated in Steve crashing his motorbike in the drive of Jason's house.

     

    Chris. 


    Crap music-free since 1981.

    That takes me back. I saw them in '84 when I was 15. They opened for Status Quo at the Milton Keynes Bowl, and were subjected to most severe barrage of bottles I think I've ever seen - Quo fans aren't generally known for they're discerning taste in music. I thought they were alright. I remember they put up a valiant defiance and lasted 20 minutes. The end came with Jason Ringenberg's suicidal comment: "If you were American, you'd be able to hit us". I've often wondered what happened to them.
