Steve Ignorant Presents The Last Supper – Crass Songs – 1977 -1984
“In 2007, Steve Ignorant gathered some friends together and put on two shows at Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London. Called The Feeding Of 5000, the show was a celebration of the Crass album of the same name, which was performed in its entirety.
It most certainly was not a Crass reunion, and never sought to be.
and then…. The Last Supper
This tour will answer the calls that have come from around the globe in response to the Shepherd’s Bush gigs. Steve will be celebrating the period of Crass’ work with which he feels most closely aligned – the period when he feels the band were at their strongest, most productive and most hopeful.
One year, and then it’s done.
Steve will be performing with a full band, featuring Gizz Butt on guitar (English Dogs, Destructors, Janus Stark, The More I See, Prodigy), Spike T. Smith on drums (Morrissey, Killing Joke, Conflict), Bob Butler on bass (The Tone, Stratford Mercenaries, Schwartzneggar) and Beki Straughan on vocals (Loaded 44). As well as featuring a set of Steve’s favourite Crass songs there will be some rather special visuals.
In September Steve published his book, The Rest Is Propaganda, which is the story of how he grew up in Dagenham, East London, how he formed Crass with Penny Rimbaud, and what he did after. This year has also finally seen the Crass catalogue back in print on both CD (in expanded, remastered additions) and the original vinyl in fold-out poster sleeves.
The Last Supper has already been served in the UK and Europe, and will now visit the USA and Canada. We hope to also make it to Australia, New Zealand and Japan during 2011.
As this crazy idea started in London in 2007, Steve is planning a to end it in London as well, with a FINALE gig to be announced for the end of 2011. At which point the door will be firmly closed and Steve will not perform Crass songs with a band again. (Steve has some other projects planned, don’t you worry…)”
Looks like you haven't made a choice yet.
