of their time, behind on their rent. If there’s ever been one band that has
this statement written all over them, it’s The Block Busters. Wasn’t it this

Clothes, shoes and make-up hardly suffered from the disastrous adventure. So we have every right to claim our Crazy Sensational Glitter Roadshow is more energetic and more up-to-date than ever before. Take a chance, and surrender to the
