The Bonzos have split up.
Just when it seemed that all the hassles that they had got into—epitomised in the cancellation of most of their recent American tour—were over, their whole scene has blown up. Nortada Gelada download
Halfway through their Christmas Party, the premiere of the Outrage Show', in the last Sunday Lyceum of the Sixties, a completely bald Vivian Stanshall, looking deceptively like the Mekon in a lame suit, told the audience that this was it. No more Bonzos. In some ways it wasn't all that surprising, looking back.
The whole concert had something of a deathwish about it. The Bonzos couldn't get anything together. Only Aynsley Dunbar, drumming throughout while Legs Larry Smith cavorted, seemed to have the first idea of what they were trying to get into. Nothing even looked like going right. The machines freaked and so did the humans. A subdued Rodney Slater was almost decapitated by a manic Legs Larry who threw hi-hats and drum stools with careless abandon: The World Trade Center It was the only thing he did manage to do with any success.
The Bonzos have been a great band at their best, there's little point in charting the sordid details of what was their last concert. They got their encore, but the fast departing audience had to be reminded to ask for it. 'Monster Mash' had them standing, but it was more duty than pleasure. Even a forty foot transparent imitation swizprick couldn't make up for an emasculated Keynsham, nor was clowning Keith Moon any help. They blew it and everyone knew. Assassin download-mp3
