Before I watch the Euro-League match now a superb recording by the Adicts from 31. October 1986 in the Alabama Hall, Munich which was released via Fallout Records. I guarantee you the dynamic and energy that you can hear here is really so, I saw them some years ago in the Batsche and was flashed. A bit info: the Adicts originated as Afterbirth & the Pinz in late 1975. They soon changed their name to the Adicts and became known for their distinctive Clockwork Orange "Droog" image. "Droog" is a word derived from fictional Nadsat language, meaning "Friend" (a combination of Russian and English) which along with their urgent, uptempo music and light-hearted lyrics, helped set them apart from other punk bands. Their music has catchy melodies and lyrics, and often features extra instruments and sound clips, such as carousel music in How Sad, violin played by Derick Cook in Joker In The Pack, and gongs and keyboard percussion by Anthony Boyd in Chinese Takeaway. The musicians wear all-white clothing with black boots and black bowler hats. The singer, Keith "Monkey" Warren, wears joker makeup, wildly patterned suits (such as checkerboard or polka dot), flared trousers, colorful dress shirts, bowler hat and gloves. The band's visual look is complemented by their stage shows, involving items such as streamers, confetti, playing cards, beach balls, joker hats, toy instruments, bubbles and glitter. Still active and a popular live act... indeed!
