| While the music and
image of punk was being formed by McLaren / the Sex Pistols and Vivien Westwood's clothes
there were two other groups of people who would
contribute to the scene. One was the loose pool
of musicians like Mick Jones, Tony James and
various members of the Damned and Clash etc who
would be sparked into action by the Pistols and a
group of fans who would come to be associated
closely with the Sex Pistols many of whom would
themselves form bands as the Pistols roller coaster trundled on.
This
group of fans would come to be known as the
Bromley Contingent and featured among others Siouxsie, Debbie,
Soo Catwoman, Simon Barker, Sharon, Tracey,
Billy Idol, Steve Severin to name a few and
lovingly described
in 'The Boy Looked At Johnny' by Burchill /
Parsons as 'a posse of
unrepentant poseurs, committed to attaining fame
despite the paucity of talent other than being
noticed; achieving their aim by displaying
themselves in a manner meticulously calculated to
kill.' Praise
indeed ! Read what
she says about Siouxsie & The Banshees !

| Here's Norah,
Rotten's now wife, describing Siouxsie at
the above gig "I was
shocked...she was walking around wearing some
suspenders and a bra with her whole tits out. I
was stunned... That night I couldn't listen to
the Pistols at all because Siouxsie was sitting
one row behind me. I was so uncool because I
couldn't stop looking at her tits"

Severin, Siouxsie and Debbie in the Pistols

head a moody looking Shanna from the Nipple Erectors!) Photo Joe
