I was raking through an old NME from September 1979 and spotted this Revillos ad. It has their tour schedule for that month, and in it, it has them playing at Dundee - Technical College (Bowling Alley) on 28th September 79. The reason I've put it on view is because in my earlier item about the Bowling Alley (see Feb 09 Archives) there was a bit of confusion in the comments as to whether it was The Revillos (with a V) or The Rezillos (with a Z) who made an appearance there, with the resulting opinion being that it was The Rezillos. Putting 2 & 2 together, I would suspect now that they have probably been at the Bowling Alley in both of their name formats.Sunday, 24 May 2009

i saw the reZillo!s there, so you would be correct :)
ReplyDeleteWhen The Rezillos played the bowling alley the gig was stopped after some mentalist threw a bottle which hit the drummer.
ReplyDeleteI thought that was a show by the Revillos. Reason Im so sure is because the drummer it hit was Eugenes brother who had just joined the band when they changed their name. Make sesnse?
ReplyDeleteYou're right, I was at both gigs and remember the Revillos going off to boos. Also saw 999 and The Stray Cats at the bowling alley too
