First Impressions

TODAY'S STARS, YESTERDAY - THE DEBUT MM LIVE APPEARANCE

SUPERGRASS
THE BROADWALK, MANCHESTER
(November 5, 1994)

I like the spunk of these guys. You must have heard the single, "Caught By The Fuzz", with it's "Anarchy In The UK" intro which quickly turns into Generation X's "Ready Steady Go" and then rewrites the Collins English Dictionary to include the words "cuz", "Wuz" and "Gary". Yes, they are hitching a ride on Blur's tatty coat-tails, but damn you if you aren't seduced by it's cheeky, infectious thrill and speedball terrace chorus.
