Back in July 1982, Frank and the boys played a series of\u00c2\u00a0shows down in Italy that to my mind are as good a bunch of gigs as any you will find down the years.\u00c2\u00a0This week we feature the fourth of these shows<\/a>, a dirty distorted evening in Genoa if ever I heard one.\u00c2\u00a0Yes, the sound isn’t perfect, but, as Pat Buzby once put it, “the somewhat distorted sound fits the music, as the Night of the Deadly Pizza is one aggressive show”. And so it is.<\/p>\n

It starts with what is probably my personal favourite opening tune for any FZ band, the magnificent Mammy Anthem.\u00c2\u00a0The opening few bars still send shivers\u00c2\u00a0down my spine.\u00c2\u00a0From there on in, great FZ solos abound… yeah, I know, I always say that… but\u00c2\u00a0it just happens to always be\u00c2\u00a0true.\u00c2\u00a0Frank is at his most threatening and malevolent tonight, ripping his way through\u00c2\u00a0Easy Meat, RDNZL, Advance Romance, Drowning Witch, Tiny Lites, the Black Page (oh, that King Kong vamp) and the Enema Bandit.\u00c2\u00a0The band are, quite simply, top-notch throughout.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is one of those shows that may well necessitate a brief lie down afterwards.\u00c2\u00a0Following which, I suggest you go straight out and\u00c2\u00a0beg, steal or borrow\u00c2\u00a0the rest of the shows from Frank’s 1982 Italian adventure.\u00c2\u00a0Alternatively, you could simply holler, preferably from a nearby rooftop, a huge happy birthday<\/b> to the President of the Chad Wackerman Liberation Front… the one, the only, the inimitable, (the very scary when she wants to be)… Dr. Sharleena!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
