Pussy Galore show at London School of Economics, Houghton Street, London WC2A 2AE, UK with World Domination Enterprises and Mute Drivers on 9 February 1988.
Slo Pig performance and interview broadcast as part of an episode of SNUB TV.
Judah Bauer refers to seeing Pussy Galore on SNUB TV in Select: Introducing The Band (1994):
“The then 15-year-old saxophonist Judah Bauer first became aware of Spencer while watching late-night TV in his Wisconsin home and saw Jon fronting his first band, Pussy Galore. “They were doing something called ‘Pussy Stomp’ and I was thinking, What the fuck is this? It was live in London and they were interviewing them – Bob (Bert, drums) and Julie (Cafritz, guitar) were talking. They put the camera on Jon because he’s the singer and he’s supposed to say something. But Jon, man, he didn’t say anything. They were cool.”
A few years later, Judah left home and moved in with Russell Simins in New York. “I wanted to be in a jazz band, but someone stole my saxophone so I picked up the guitar. I could barely play when I met Jon. But I was a quick learner.””
Info on SNUB TV:
“The first series of Snub, 1988, was made in London (at Southern Studios) and was sold to the USA cable network and ran for 14 episodes.
Pussey Galore were shot at the LSE for the US series, we had a budget then of about 400 quid per ep, which just about covered the cost of a U-matic shooting kit, editing it all then sending to America, yes it was cheap.
The guy doing the interview was a lovely French bloke called Pierre who worked the the warehouse at Southern and was the only one brave enough to do the interview, I think he now works as a set designer on Michel Gondry movies in Paris.” – Pinko Fowler / facebook.com (10 February 2021)
