“You can feel it in the streets…”’

Here is what the promoter has said about us:

“In 1975 Mick Brophy (guitar), Simon Wright (vocals) , Keith Steptoe (bass) and Steve Pearce (drums) caught an early Sex Pistols gig and thought “we could do that!” . Calling themselves Trash after the New York Dolls song the band signed to Polydor and commenced gigging, supporting 999, The Lurkers, The Slits and many others. Debut single Priorities is now a sought-after slice of 1977 whilst second single N-N-E-R-V-O-U-S was released the following year, produced by the legendary Shel Talmy (The Who / Kinks). The band split up when Polydor passed on the option of an LP. They got back together to unsuccessfully audition for the film Quadrophenia. In 1979 Trash recorded a couple of tracks for Police producer Nigel Gray. By this time Simon Butler-Smith was on drums and Neil Cossar had joined on second guitar. In 2011 Only Fit For The Bin released the compilation CD This Is Complete Trash, followed by the vinyl version Bashing Out The Chords LP in 2023. Reviews were so positive that Trash decided to give it one last go, Mark ‘Wolfie’ Wolfenden joined on bass to record the 2025 single Matter Of Time. The sessions were great fun, so Trash decided to play their first gigs since 1978, proving that high energy rock’n’roll never goes out of fashion!”
