We were playg rerds that you didn’t really hear clubs – X-Ray Spex, Kate Bh – whereas everythg on the gay scene back then was hoe or really chey pop.
We had no experience of playg to gay crowds, even though we’re gay ourselv, so we were like: “What are the gay people gog to do when they hear Jilted John or Sound and Visn, are we gog to get attacked? I thk the ls rigid mic that you hear on the gay scene now has que a lot to do wh and the fact that people are more open about what you n have on stage, rather than jt a drag queen.
