PUNK ROCK FESTIVAL
Ticket price : 1-1.50
Attendance : 1500

Some came for the party, some came for the punk. A plastic mannequin watches silently from the side of the stage with ‘Jim Jones Fan Club’ sketched into its torso. A plastic Jimmy Carter head rests impaled on an imperial Japanese flag. ‘Rabid Roy Random’, the lead singer for Electric Vomit, flies on stage with a gas mask, which he takes off just in time to sing ‘Do the Pogo’.
