little eris audition for steve ignorant the last supper tour

I have been invited to audition as a female vocalist for The Last Supper, CRASS SONGS 1977 - 1984 .
which is going to USA, Canada, probably New Zealand, Australia and possibly Japan.

CRASS have had a massive influence on me after my friend Jobby from Power is Poison www.myspace.com/powerispoison  suggested I listen to Feeding of the 5000. The more I learnt about the CRASS movement the more I felt enlightened , inspired and reassured. Their  DIY  approach instilled in me do it yourself attitude that lead me to make self produce and self release 'Molecules 'R' Us'  and the 'With Glove' collection.

The opportunity to audition is a definite highlight of my life so far.

I set off to the Shepherds Bush concerts that Steve Ignorant did in 2007 with a fiver to my name, a ticket to the Saturday night and the Conflict after party gig and megabus return to London returning to Cardiff 6am the next morning .  Met some great people from Guernsey there who persuaded me to stay, made it possible for me to survive, got me in to the Sunday night show too and sorted out but ticket home for me. It was an amazing weekend I never thought I would experience the music of CRASS being played live like that. The the band ended in 1984 with their last gig in the village where I was living at the time as a little kid. So it was a very special event to see the music resuscitated :)

 Since my old band freaky fortnight ( http://www.myspace.com/freakyfortnight/music ) split in 2008 I have been doing the little eris nice electronica and not shouting really out my vocals or anything. However I am quite looking forward to the audition and singing loud and proud like I used to with the freakies!!!

This is the last time ever a tour with Steve Ignorant and his band will take place,  so it is genuinely a one off opportunity.

With the new government in power, the cuts and the protests, this era echoes Thatcher days of the early 80's. There is no better time than now for people to hear the music of CRASS.  More people are becoming open to anti-systemised view. It's also not just the working classes who are being shafted now but the middle classes too.

Even if the people who don't like punk music took time to read the lyrics of CRASS they will not be able to dispute the fact that the words are the truth. And those truths are still true today.

Now to focus on the 3 audition songs originally sung by Eve Libertine who is AMAZING.
