PUSA were famous for five minutes in 1995/6 when they had hits with a handful of singles from their first album. Lump and Peaches in particular are perfect slices of punky power pop. I believe my sister organised this trip - it was certainly her that came with me. I remember being hesitant because I'm always wary of going to see a band that has only released one album. They'll only do 45 minutes, you know what you're going to hear and if you're lucky they might throw in a cover version for an encore. I was persuaded however when it was announced that Kula Shaker were going to be the 'Special Guests'. I know, I know, but I still really like some of the stuff off their first album. And I like their version of 'Hush'. Deal with it.
As for the gig? I have only vague memories of sitting, I think, in the front row of the circle. And that's about it. Look, I promise I'll do one of these soon where I can remember something about the gig, OK? Sheesh, get off my back already.
