Punk Pathetique was an attempt to market the early-eighties UK Punk groups; Splodgenessabounds , Toy Dolls , TV Personalities & Peter & The Test Tube Babies by Garry Bushell who was enjoying success having defined & publicized Oi! . Punk Pathetique mixed tongue in cheek humor with a sort of Dickensian Working Class attitude. The sound & lyrical content of Punk Pathetique is embodied by Splodgenessabounds tune, "Two Pints Of Lager & A Packet Of Crisps Please". Max Splodge of Splodgenessabounds said of Punk Pathetique "The pathetique bands are the other side of Oi! We?re working class too only whereas some bands sing about prison & the dole, we sing about pilchards & bums. The audience is the same." Punk Pathetique peaked in the autumn of 1980 with the Pathetique Convention at the Electric Ballroom . Punk Pathetique is related to Cartoon Punk but they are not one & the same. |
