THE REVILLOS - BOWLING ALLEY - 1979

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.

THE REZILLOS - MARRYAT HALL - 1978

 

Here's a crackin' picture of The Rezillos doing their thing down at the Marryat Hall in 1978.
This band of B-movie punks changed their line-up around this period so I'm not 100% certain who was in the group on this particular occasion, except for Fay Fyfe of course who is definitely out front wearing the silver gear.
To go with the snap, I also have this ad from back then which not only informs us that the Marryat Hall gig took place on Monday 21st August 1978, but earlier that day, the band made an appearance at Bruce's Record Shop in Reform Street, where they signed autographs and met their fans.
There was a large queue to see them at Bruce's and a good turn out for the gig too.
Their well known single "Top Of The Pops" had just been newly released at the time.

Incidentally, also on that evening dropping some vinyl was Deepwater Disco.
