Public Disgrace - Toxteth (1982)

Band featuring Tudor (guitar, later Reiner Chaos, Das Reiner, Dementia, Gone To Earth, Mr Toad & The Naughty Majorcans, Suicide Stars), Andy Harding (vocals), Dave Hammond (bass), Cally (drums). Before entering the band Cally had a fanzine ‘Anarchy’ - featuring interviews with Gary Dwyer (Teardrop Explodes) about the lack of violence at Eric’s - through which he helped organise the Eric’s protest marches when it was shut down.
When they formed, Geoff Davies would let them use the upstairs rooms at Probe to practice. The band released Toxteth EP about the Toxteth riots and this got them national press exposure. It was 1982.

Their gigs were mainly composed by blitzkreig bop and belsen covers plus tracks from the band’s only vinyl rlease.
Apparently, the live shows were all about promoting their number one fan OAKY (aka Oakey) - a legend amongst the Liverpool punk community - to legend status as the biggest mohican in the world! The guy also had the honour of being name-checked on the cover of the Toxteth ep. By 1983 the band was no more, and Tudor joined Reiner Chaos.
