the new Jah Wobble solo album
has been added to the Review

was originally published on his Jah
Wobble Discussion List, but Patrick
has kindly let us re-print it. Over
the next few months we hope to add
a Discussion List "archive"
on Fodderstompf, featuring a 'best

by 'The List', including some by the
man Wobble himself, and his loyal

|  Major
1980 US Tour Update!
It
turns out PiL played a previously
unknown gig at Cleveland, Agora
Theater, 30th April. The Oakland,
6th May gig was cancelled,
and the correct date and venue for
San Francisco is South of Market
Cultural Center, 10th May, not
Berkeley, Greek Theatre... The confusion
over the Californian gigs was caused
by a mixture of Warners Brothers,
the tour agents they hired, Premier
Talent, and well known promoter
Bill Graham, all trying to wreck
a 2 date Californian deal "hand-shaken"
by PiL and local promoters C D Presents.
A full article, by Shoshana Wecheler,
on all the legal shenanigans was
featured in the 1980 US 'Damage'
fanzine. Click here
for a full transcript.
BIG Thanks to Dino Everett for his
help!

Gig List for full updated tour

Chronology has also been revamped

there was a feature in Billboard
Magazine, 15th March, listing
a 10 date PiL tour, we'd be very interested
in seeing a copy if anybody has one... |

This
rare picture of PiL 1983, from a
Japanese magazine previewing the
Japanese tour, sheds new light on
the hiring of the 'Cabaret
Band'. It now appears Louie
Bernardi was actually hired while
Levene was still in the band, and
would have played bass on the proposed
Japanese tour along with Lydon,
Levene & Atkins.

Members
ONLY! The fakes won’t survive...
From now on the whole message board
will be MEMBERS ONLY. Over the
past few weeks there has been a growing
amount of abuse on the board, and
basically enough is enough...
We at Fodderstompf are easy going
guys, we like a piss-take and wind
up as much as the next person, probably
more. But unfortunately there are
too many people out there, willing
to take advantage of our good nature.
Posting as band members has to stop,
yes, occasionally members post here,
but keep up this childish rubbish
and they won’t. We’ll be
lucky to have a site at all.
It wouldn’t be so bad if people
would use their real names and e-mail
addresses, but of course it’s
more fun and cowardly to hide behind
an alias. We’re here, we put
our name to everything we do, we hide
from no one...
As we all know this message board
is hardly the busiest board in the
world, and making it member only won’t
exactly help, but it seems a necessary
step. Quality over quantity. At least
this way we can control the board
a bit easier. There are some good
people out there with interesting
posts, and I can only apologise to
them for lumping them in with the
plebs. PiL are probably the most misunderstood
and underrated band in the last 20
years, they need a voice on the internet,
that’s the whole point of Fodderstompf.
Don’t ruin it.
“Now you’re understanding,
don’t be vegetating...” |

of the most neglected sections
on the site have now been revamped,
Rarities
& Audio
/ Video Bootleg Guide.
The next week or so will see the
Rarities
section be expanded with
a substantial amount of new entries.
The section will now be a Thumbnail
based picture gallery, featuring
additional info and pix. Watch this
space....
Audio
/ Video Bootleg Guide has also
been tweaked, all entries will now
feature much more relevant info
for tape traders. HOWEVER,
we are still very short on contributions,
we need YOUR help! It doesn't
have to be anything spectacular,
just a note of the running order,
running time, sound quality, along
with any notes on the recording,
or thoughts on the gig. See the
Audio
/ Video Bootleg Guide section
for examples...

| Speaking
of neglected pages...
PLEASE
NOTE Radio Fodderstompf is currently
UNAVAILABLE!
Until
recently Radio Fodderstompf was
ran completely FREE via live365.com.
However, for whatever reason, they
have now decided to make the station
only available to 'Preferred
Members' which will require
a subscription. So unfortunately,
at present it looks like the end
Radio Fodderstompf. Which is sad
but unavoidable...
In
all honesty RF was badly neglected,
neither myself or Karsten could
give it the attention it needed.
And this is where we need your
help, we need someone to point
us in the right direction of another
free station, and who would be willing
to run it for us, or perhaps
oversee a MP3 download page
linked to the site, whatever...
We need ideas and options...
If you can help get in touch...

The
PiL
Gig List now contains links to
various Solo Gig lists. Most
of the dates were previously part
of the Chronology,
but to save clutter, they have been
moved to the relevant lists. Like
PiL, the Chronology
will only mention the more important
of the solo gigs...
At present some of the listings are
pretty thin, however, over time we
hope to make it as complete and accurate
as the PiL list... Though at the same
time we're not going to go mad! Only
members, or bands, deemed relevant
will be included. I don't think listing
every gig Lou Bernardi ever played
would interest anyone!! |
