The greatest story ever to blow off your gonads!

OPENS WITH GOOD FELLA SPOOF VOICE OVER:

We were a crap band playing mates’ parties who no-one gave a fuck about until punk happened. Then we knew we had to be part of it. We became a crap band playing pubs and clubs and kids couldn’t get enough of us.

CUT TO TEENAGE PUNKS & SKINS AT PUB GIG

Everyone said punk had to be angry and serious. Not us. We were all about beer and shagging and having a laugh.

Chapter One – UK Curry House Tour begins

A school band named Pink Tent was a 12 bar blues, quite anarchic and very leftwing then they morphed in 1977 and became the Gonads. Their marketing manager suggested that they only ever play Charlton, mainly a pub called “The Lads of the Village”. In this period Gonads did a acoustic tour of Indian restaurants which was pretty funny as a venue and normally went down okay. One day they were chased out of a curry house in Lewisham by a chef waving a meat cleaver.

They are still touring today…

I Lost My Love To A UK Sub (LISTEN HERE)

My first love was a virgin, only 13 years old

Till Charlie Harper grabbed her, on his pension day I’m told

He showered her with badges; he bought her lots of blues

And then showed her his warhead…

Now, don’t you think that’s crude?

He got her in a stranglehold, he got her in the club

Before I bleedin’ knew I’d lost my love to a UK Sub

Then there was young Janice, as randy as they come

Steve Roberts came and stole her, said he’d teach her how to drum

He got her back to his place, he asked me to wish him luck

And then said all I really wanna know is: “Does she suck?”

ABOUT THE STAR

It happened by accident really. After Oi The Album came out, Garry Johnson sent me a copy of Boys of The Empire…to be continued


Field Cate Actor/Musician for the young Garry Bushell of The Gonads

This video features Pete McKenna’s book Nightshift and readings from the first Northern Soul novel ever written Who the Hells Frank Wilson. 

What they are saying:

Lovely video! I don’t suppose anybody has any idea where I could find a copy of the ‘Who The Hell’s Frank Wilson?’ book, do they? Been searching for ages with no luck.
As a Latin Chick born and bred in the US, its F*cking Amazing to hear Soul Music from a non-American perspective. It was strange as hell to go to the British Music Experience and hear Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin and the Jackson 5 be the history of what I grew up with. It must be equally amazing to come to the States for a Brit and find out we love Zeppelin,

Too Much Too Young Tagline:

The two-tone phenomena and the northern soul music scene as well as Psychobilly formed the backdrop of anticipation that pierces the clouds of desperation.  Journey with us along a rocky road of torment, fun, and real London gangsters.  Throw in some drugs, some rebels without a cause, combined with a desolate future, the cause of the Orwellian times are even more relevant in today’s age.

Synopsis: Set in London, New Town, Southend & Blackpool.

Three books to be weaved into one screenplay called Too Much Too Young.  The Screenplay timeline is 1979 -1982.  Three youth subcultures intertwined in a story of the lost generation of youth, with three distinct subcultures colliding, yet individually forming an opinion and an epiphany of coming of age within the paradigm of pleasure, friendship and music.

Film begins May 1979 with Margaret Thatcher in power & ends in 1982 with the Falklands war. Youth cultures were cool and underground and almost everyone was a part of the scene. Here we see three distinct youth cults that intermingle throughout the story. Their lives cross and either enrich or result in riot-like behavior. From the southern beaches of South End to the beaches of Blackpool and throw in Stevenage, the promised land for ex-Londoners. In between the constant quest for music and friendship fueled sometimes by drugs or apocalyptic futures, these teenagers laid the groundwork for the youth to come. Explore the journey of the early 1980’s, this film will shed a light on our true nature for years to come and will have you reminicse about the coming of age in your own lives. Flash forward to 1988 Acid House Club

Too Much Too Young – By Steve Piper

November 1979. The lines are clear. Things so black and white, at least to the eyes and ears of Britain’s youth. The ragged edges of punk rock had been smoothed in to the sound of new wave and inner city housing estates had yet to decompose in to the crumbling and neglected smack and crack saturated slums of the ‘90s. Britain’s tribes were defined by differences in attitude, attire, musical allegiance, philosophies, territories and behaviour. Mods were mods, punks were punks. The Labour party was the Labour party and the Conservatives, Conservatives. The workers kept working and the bosses planned their retirement.

Who the Hell is Frank Wilson?

By Pete McKenna

WHERE QUADROPHENIA MEETS THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY

Spring 1982. Italian banker Roberto Calvi known as “Gods Banker” was found hanging under a London bridge with a pocket full of bricks and nearly £20,000 in cash. It has been hinted that Mr Calvi had connections with the Mafia, The Freemasons and the Vatican itself. And this morning hundreds of northern soul fans woke up to the shock news that Wigan Casino was gutted by a mysterious fire in the early hours of the morning. Following the grim discovery of a mans badly charred body in the ruins, speculation is rife that the fire was the work of an arsonist. And the question on many peoples lips is just Who The Hell Is Frank Wilson?

Psychobilly – By Craig Brackenridge

Stevenage. 1981. The Psychobilly disease is spreading across the UK and Harry Powell and his mates have got it bad. They are followers of the brutal blend of Rockabilly & Punk that is seeping across Britain’s musical underground and from the Klub Foot to Scarborough Scooter Rally, they will go anywhere for wrecking and rump.

BOOK OPTION: RAVE ON

North London, 1988. Terry Dean is a young scooter boy and member of the Enfield Beasts S.C. Though devoted the UK scooter scene, Terry is curious about what is happening in the underground after noticing groups of youths lurking in lay-bys and car parks, just waiting for some strange, new adventure. His workmate Stevie Royle holds the key to the acid house and warehouse party scene and they both embark on a chemical odyssey that unlocks a netherworld of secret gatherings and euphoric soundscapes. Terry is consumed by the music and has an epiphany. He decides to take his promoting skills from the scootering scene and organise raves.

How did people react to the vastly different music on offer at the Rave type events?

FROM THE AUTHOR: I’m sure the drugs must have played a large part. If you were ‘on one’, as youths of that time used to say, it was almost like an epiphany and the music, the lights and the whole experience made sense. If you weren’t then it probably seemed like a sweaty hell-hole in a disused building with someone’s car alarm going of at ear-splitting volume. I don’t think there was any grey area with the music – you either got it with a semi-religious fervor or thought it was shit.

SERIAL KILLER

SERIAL KILLER BOOK/FILM TREATMENT/SCRIPT

EXCERPT JERUSALEM BOOK AND FILM TREATMENT AND SCRIPT

Jerusalem is essentially a factually based fictional insight into the day to day life of contemporary UK seen through the eyes and actions of the main character. Johnny Hodges, is a lifelong skinhead whose code in life is to harm bullies, irregardless of color and creed, before they do any harm. He is very much the anti-hero like the Micheal Douglas character in “Falling Down”,  who is sick and tired of living in a society that is “No country for old men”.

From the Author

Just remember the impact skinheads had on the population when I was young. First time they went public was at the 1969 Rolling Stones free festival in Hyde Park when they kicked fuck out of the hells angels. The Stones had employed them to guard them. Strange looking youths with shaved heads, denims, grandad shirts and british army black leather hobnail boots,  years before Doc Martins came out.
For me it was a simple no brainer. A group of skinheads and a group of bikers walking down the opposite sides of the street. Which group would force me to cross the road to get out of their way. Skinheads every time.

JERUSALEM 

OPENS WITH:

A  PATRIOTIC  HYMN  WRITTEN  BY  WILLIAM  BLAKE  AND  COMPOSED  BY  CHARLES  HUBERT  PARRY

And  did  those  feet  in  ancient  time

Walk  upon  England’s  mountain  green

And  was  the  holy  lamb  of  God

On  England’s  pleasant  pastures  seen

And  did  the  Countenance  Divine

Shine  forth  upon  our  clouded  hills

Among  these  dark  satanic  mills

Bring  me  my  arrows  of  desire

Bring  me  my  spear  O  clouds  unfold

Bring  me  my  chariot  of  fire

I will not  cease  from  mental  fight

Till  we  have  built  Jerusalem

In  England’s  green  and  pleasant  land

    .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

There  was  a  time  in  my  life  what  feels  like  a  century  ago  when  I  actually  believed  in  all  that  hairy  fairy  stuff  when  writers  and  poets  waxed  lyrical  about  England’s  green  and  pleasant  pastures.  Dreaming  about  father  Christmas  and  his  Reindeers  trotting  around  the  galaxy  dropping  presents  off  to  all  the  children  in  the  world.  Penny  pinching  Old Scrooge  and  the  ghost  of  Christmas  past.  The  bogey  man,  the  tooth  fairy  and  that  all  little  girls  were  made  of  the  sweetest  tasting  melt  in  the  mouth  sugar  and  spice  and  all  things  nice  up  until  the  shit  hit  the  fan.

  The  police  and  the  army  continue  to  remain  on  twenty  four  hour  maximum  standby  as  the  death  toll  rises  to  over  twelve  hundred  people  killed  and  more  than  five  hundred  seriously  injured  in  the  wake  of  the  simultaneous  triple  bombings  of  three  main  mosques  in  London  Leeds  and  Birmingham.  Police  have  confirmed  that  they  received  a  telephone  call  supposedly  from  one  of  the  men  who  carried  out  the  attacks  stating  that  they  were  members  of  the  far  right  breakaway  group  of  the  English  Defence  League  calling  themselves  The  Patriots  Of  The  Cross.
