Description: In a Ballroom, we joined John Robb (feat. Jordan), A Boy Name Sue and Ricardo Salazar in an unlikely and impossible meeting. John Robb was frontman of The Membranes, the band he formed in 1977. Now frontman of punk rock band Goldblade and author of bestselling books, The Stone Roses and the Resurrection of British Pop and Punk Rock – An Oral History. In 2011 John launched the online rock music and pop culture website louderthanwar.com. Famously, he coined the term ‘Britpop.’ With his peroxide beehive, Cubist face paint and Kohl-eyed stare, Jordan Mooney provided punk with some of its most enduring – and provocative – images. Born Pamela Rooke in 1955 and raised in Seaford, Sussex, by ultra-conservative parents (her mum was a seamstress; her dad a WW2 commando), she moved to London in the mid-70s, where her fearless attitude and outré wardrobe secured her a job at Malcolm McClaren and Vivienne Westwood’s King’s Road boutique, Sex. In his sets, A Boy Named Sue (name of a song by Johnny Cash) goes through musical genres like rhythm & blues, soul, surf, 60’s, Latin grooves, exotic, psych, garage or punk. The host of the night, Ricardo Salazar, transmutes from day to night into a record dealer. Passionate about punk and post-punk – uncontrollable music lover – he resists and fights for the memory of rock’n’roll.
