In 1975, a disastrous rehearsal in a Rotherhithe warehouse nearly ended the Sex Pistols before they began. This is the story of how punk history almost didn’t happen.🎸 Were the Sex Pistols always doomed to self-destruct? Was Lydon the only singer who could’ve made them legendary? And what if they’d actually broken up that day?
💬 What’s your take? Could punk have survived without the Sex Pistols or John Lydon? Let us know in the comments!
00:00 Speaking to John Lydon about The Crunchy Frog in 2024
01:37 Crunchy Frog chat starts
This clip is taken from Episode 1 of Drifting Through The Streets where myself, Neil 'Controlled Weirdness' and Neil 'Transpontine' tell stories and tales around areas and locations of esoteric subcultural interest. In this episode we dug deeper into the building sometimes known as the Crunchy Frog which was a rich underground cultural hub in the 1970s and 1980s. It was home to Waterside studios and the Warehouse theatre and was linked to a wide variety of alternative music and art subcultures in Rotherhithe, South London. For more on the Sex Pistols links to the building and other countercultural tales from 99 Rotherhithe Street please visit the link below.
