I'm on the Death in June official email list, and the frontman/main singer songwriter of the band, Douglas Pierce, a ay guy who now lives in Australia (if any of that matters) who was also a definitive force in the band Crisis before that (the "three C's" of Brit political punk were always said to be Clash, Crass, and Crisis) had this to say about it:
==========================
Regardless of what some people have said about Malcolm McLaren over the past 30 + years if it wasn't for him and his Situationist view of the World not only would we not have heard of The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Buzzcocks, Siouxie And The Banshees, Crisis etc this particular Yahoogroup wouldn't even exist. Death In June would never have come to be.
I'm sad to hear of his death today.
I remember how Tony Wakeford and I would brave the roving gangs of Teddy Boys and go into Sex/Seditionaries on a Saturday afternoon at the bottom of the King's Road in Chelsea and take note of how the clothes were made and then go home and try and recreate our own versions by using cheaply bought black trousers and shirts and cutting them up, re-shaping them, stencilling slogans adding zips and belts/buckles etc plus a touch of camo that we could get hold of easily from our mates on the inside at the local Guards Depot at Pirbright near Woking. At that time we could never afford the prices Sex/Seditionaries was asking but we came up with our own version and eventually we had the 'Red Fascist' look of Crisis!
And, much more besides!
Heilige!
