An unknown field in Leicestershire! Autum 1990 A tent, in the middle of nowhere. Nobody remembers where, what or even who for? However, we do recognise the photographer's car in front of the tent. So we know who took the shots... Followed by a set taken within the Phoenix Car Park, Leicester, during the summer of 1991, by Ben Hocken. Photo's: Richard Barnett and Ben Hocken |

Abbey Park Festival, Leicester. August 15th 1992 For the second time running, the Scum Pups were invited to play at the park, now with their new bass player 'Cyd' Marcus Hessin. Once again, the crowd pushed boundaries by taking on the security behind the 'now in place' barrier - no casualties this time, however (if you don't count the band). Photo's: Richard Barnett |

Rock City, Nottingham.
March 7th 1992 This was the 2nd (pre-Glam) appearance for the 'Pups' at one of Nottingham's most renowned of nightspots. Crazyhead's guitarist Richard is seen here keeping an eye on how things were going. This night also saw the infamous appearance of the photographer's fish-eye lens... 'nuf said.

The Underworld, Camden, London.
March 13th 1992 This night saw the appearance of the Gold shirt - once possession of 80's girl band 'Voice of the Beehive', given to Ian of Crazyhead whilst on tour. This act saw the official introduction of the Glam era for the band - to the amusement of Fudge Tunnel's Adrian Parkin. Photo's: Richard Barnett |

Fairview
Studios, Hull. June 1992 With only two weeks to learn the songs, Syd managed to record the 'Shudder' EP and push the band into new hights (of depravity). Photo's: Richard Barnett |

Slater
Street , Frog Island, Leicester.
July 1992 Richard Barnett took full advantage of the laborious process of filming for the new EP by obtaining new shots for promotional material. A brave young Helen, who had to under go the same uncomfortable process of a glitter facelift, also starred in the video - later becoming a highly successful model in her own right.
