My dog (RIP) had a nice proper lead and would not keep the regulation scarf on.

Nor did I have dreads or a German Army Jacket. But I did have black Belgian combats which were both stylish & hardwearing.

Gaye Bykers on Acid!! I used to be into them, saw them supporting The Cult a couple of times. They used to have an alter-ego band called Lesbian Dopeheads On Mopeds!!
useless info for you, the lead singer from GBOA went on to sing for Apollo 440

More useless info

GBOA - Mary Byker was in Pigface, for a while, wasn't everyone?
PWEI - Clint Mansell now writes soundtracks
Crazyheid - bass player was called The Pork Beast
Wonderstuff - not grebo, but certainly dull
The Ned's - nice idea two bass players, never really happened, did it?

I've just realised Mr The Goth was talking about crusties, not greebs..there was some crossover but there was a difference, as shown in Richey James' ( the other one) comment that if you shouted 'Jeremy' at a Levellers gig every man in the audience would look round.

Spare a thought for Tracy, she was the Original singer in Neds AD doing lavvvly duest with Jonn, left to become a nurse - the next day they signed to Sony....no -one told Tracy it was gonna happen....

Spare a thought for Mary Mary - after GBOA ended up in some godawful Yank outfit with 3 drummers....

Speare a thought for Richard Poppy - now teaching music at Halesowen College - looks like BRA are over...

Indeed. I seem to recall reading about just such a youth/sub-culture around the time the term came back into use.

Though a certain Mr Manning was possibly the "coolest" Grebo (if there can be such a thing) I am aware of, past or present.
