...The
Story...
|
||||||||||
The
Decibels were from Southend, existed between 1979 - 1980, and consisted
of firstly Perry Jackson, then Paul Eves on Vocals, Gary Clark on Guitar,
Andi Schurer on Bass and Pete (Peat) Melling and also Paul Deacon on Drums.
Dave Ashley played Second Guitar in the band for a while also. Speaking
to Andi Schurer in 2005, he said "The Decibels were not the most
PC of Punk Bands - most of their gigs ended in a violent confrontation
of sorts." A good example would be their very first gig (!) in the
Queens Road Car Park (attended by Alison Moyet and other punks). Andi
continued "The police came and most of the bands gear was smashed
or stolen and two of the group were arrested." |
