Anyone seen them live on the last year or so?
They’re coming to town in a few days and it’s an afternoon show

MENACE - PROG, PUNK, SKINHEADS & SERENDIPITY BY PAUL MARKO. Fingers crossed, this will be out this August. A new book about the Punk band MENACE. I was rather chuffed to be asked to contribute some writing and images to this, about the Islington band The Dark, that Charlie Casey from Menace played Bass in, around 1982 “Not every Punk band was the Sex Pistols or The Clash. But Menace were there in the great Punk wars of 1977; three working class boys from Islington London and a Canadian with a story to tell as much their own as the amazing variety of characters they met on their journey. Featuring - Prog Rock, Johnny Rotten, the Roxy Club & Vortex, John Cale, Sham 69, Mark P & Sniffin’ Glue, Jill Furmanovsky, Suggs, skinheads, the National Front, boot boys and ruffians, gig violence, Rock Against Racism, drug addiction, Miles Copeland and the rise of IRS, Step Forward, Illegal, Fresh Records, Small Wonder, The Police and Sting, biker chick Vermilion, Oi and Gary Bushell, disappearing London, the 90’s punk resurgence, Holidays In The Sun punk festival, the 9/11 terrorist attack, CBGB’s, Punk Aid, pain, joy, marriages, births, deaths and a global pandemic while continuing to make a glorious punk racket into the 2020’s Serendipity! You never know what opportunity in life is waiting around the corner if you dare take it? Punk & Menace continue to stand the test of time!”

Very intriguing - thanks Andy
The road less travelled is definitely where my interest now lies when it comes to books about music
I am currently enjoying Dorothy Max Prior's 69 Exhibition Road - her life immediately pre-punk is fascinating
I'm hoping Paul's Menace book will be similar

Well, going by the quality of his fantastically detailed Roxy book that I managed to not long ago finally get an okay priced copy of, I will be definitely be giving it a go.

Paul was over in Milan this summer promoting an Italian translation reprint of The Roxy book. There will be a UK update Fanzine printed relating to the original book too

Great to know he's still doing punk related activity when he can
Wish I'd kept my copy of his Roxy book as I'd enjoy a reread now

MENACE - PROG, PUNK, SKINHEADS & SERENDIPITY BY PAUL MARKO. Arrived today at 'Lone Shark' Mansions, this new book by Paul Marko. Put together like a gigantic jigsaw puzzle, it tells the complete story (and history) of the Punk band Menace, by weaving a patchwork of a myriad of quotes from band members, fellow musicians, associates, managers, fans etc. But like all good Rock books, goes WAY beyond the basic story and goes into great detail about the period in music history Menace arose from. This weighty tome makes a great companion to Paul's first book about The Roxy Club where the band played their early gigs Click this link for more info... punk77.company.site/
