QIT Campus Club,
Brisbane, 8 July 1981
Assassins Royal Command Performance: The Black Assassins, Xero, The Wrap, Electropulse
The Black Assassins’ first gig was a ‘celebration’ the Royal Wedding of Charles and Diana. Wearing our trademark black balaclavas, the set included a staged fight with a member of the audience who was put on trial for adultery during our song, Iranian Massacre.
After being found guilty, the miscreant had his penis bitten off and hurled into the crowd by our bass player as punishment.
The Black Assassins were banned from the QIT Campus Club after this performance. We were very happy with the honest review this gig received in Brisbane’s newspaper The Courier Mail.
