The Dentists

I was a teenage Dentists fan in the mid-80s, after reading about them in the fanzines that were also pushing Hurrah!, Jasmine Minks, Biff Bang Pow, Primal Scream etc. I remember the last holiday I went on with my parents, in a caravan on the Suffolk coast, absolutely gripped by "Some People Are On The Pitch..." on my walkman. 1987 I think.

I'm fairly sure I was at the show Maresn3st has linked there (at least, I saw the Dentists supported by The Claim there around that time*). I imagine i was reading many of the same fanzines as you, mahb

*I loved and love The Claim. The Dentists' first (?) drummer shows up as Vic Templar on the recent Claim LP, revisiting his "Mike The Bike" character / story from thirty years earlier. Quite brought a tear to my eye, it did.
