- Sid and Zillah (Rubella Ballet) Film Steve's in his bedroom at Dial HouseCrass HQ in 1997 talks about how he started Crass with Penny, touring and releasing records with Crass. Other music projects, Punch & Judy etc. Everything un-cut just as it happened 20 years ago. (Very Funny)
This is the director Un-Cut version never before seen in full length a pilot for He's a punk rocker from planet punk coming soon.
Support Zillah Minx making history with the women in Punk that were on the inside, fund Zillah makes these oral histories go down in history alongside Johnny Rotten and alike we get to only hear about on tv documentaries and narrated by someone who knows nothing but what they have seen on TV about punk. Made a punk, about punks, the inside job on punk.

This is a great interview with Steve and he is a brilliant bloke and love what he’s saying and did with CRASS and the Punch and Judy story is top drawer 👀
It’s great hearing Steve talk at length as most interviews at Dial House were dominated by Penny. Very down to earth, intelligent and funny bloke.
Thanx for your comment, yes we are great mates now and this was him all relaxed chatting to his mates so closest thing to the real Steve
Steve Ignorant is nothing like I expected. Down to earth guy, read his autobiography as well. Worth a read for def.
Crass were a pivotal band for me in my early teens. Just the mindset of those people was inspiring and the anarcho-punk ethic is still with me today some 50+ years later. Thanks for giving this insight.
Excellent interview. What a great, honest bloke he is.
He is a great guy and good friend
Great interview! I was at the Crass ( and Poison Girls and third band ) gig at Barry Island, in 1979. Still love their music!
Thanx for your support, anarcho music is the thorn in the side of establishment and authority and always will be. Fight War not Wars
@@PlanetPunk long live Margaret thatcher
There was nothing like a Crass gig , never will be. Thanks Sid and Zilla for this
I've nearly finished my book where I describe in detail seeing Crass and the impact it had on me and Zillah. Thanx for your feedback.
@@PlanetPunk Saw Crass at St. Barnabas Church in Montpelier in '80's with Annie Anxiety. Gig was chaotic but great...Annie Anxiety got facially covered in phlegm but it did not stop her. I never liked the flobbing.
Crass Lyrics are relevant in a strong way today particularly 'Banned from the Roxy'. I'd love to see Steve Ignorant interview Dave Grohl.
@trampkiller666 wow. I've seen very very few comments about people who actually saw them live cause obviously they only played so many show.
one of my small time heroes. i've supported him in 2016 and still see him occasionally at rebellion. his partner Jona always remembers me and has a good natter with me and Steve remains a gentle, humble sort who'll often say hello and take a photo. every time is a honorable experience.
Totally wonderful!
Thanks for uploading this interview. Very honest and down to earth. Ive always thought that considering all the time energy and commitment Crass gave to their cause they deserve to at least enjoy some of the fruits of the royalties for these years in their lives.
It is a pleasure, we wanted to give a view only a close friend would get, without a crew making people nervous, we took some beers and had a great laugh in his small room in the sanctuary that still is Crass's house at Dial House. I have written about living with Crass in my book coming out 2020 so look out for that.

@@PlanetPunk Thanks mate, I look forward to the book (living with Crass) keep up the good work.
Say what now?
He's right that the equality with women wasn't achieved, but it went a long way towards it. I was at a Crass gig in 83 (I think) in Hastings, on the pier, it was great. There was more of an opportunity for women (young as I was then) to express stuff that wasn't classically feminine, and I haven't really changed in that respect. He seems like a genuine person, good to hear him talk.
The early underground warehouse/ site squat Rave scene (not the other rip off £50 a ticket scene, the free sound system 'pass the bucket' donation one) used to be full of old punks and there was often a separate room where bands, mainly punk ones played.
So here I am 40 years on and still taking my Qs from CRASS...
Saw crass 40 years ago Carlisle. Where did them 40 years go?
Poison Girls and Rubella Ballet played the year after and it turned into a bloodbath with a couple hundred skinheads arrived mob handed with weapons to put a stop to the gig read the whole story moment by moment in my book coming out soon.
What an absolute gem of an interview. The world needs a lot more Steve Ignorant. Thanks for the upload.
Nice 1 steve I stayed with u lot in 1985 at the dial house remember sitting round the table having a chat with you an that young lad joe I stayed for 2nights thanks mate then went 2 meet colin gerwood 2 go up 2 Birmingham 4 a gig nice 1 steve great memories
That's awesome
PLEASE re visit & make a part 2 ......another 20 years later. Cmon Steve!
Great idea i'll ask him
Yes we all 20 years passes
Thanks for this very interesting. People have changed so much . We all carry the pain of existing in the 21st century. People were more natural then.
That was was Great! Love the jramble!
been a crass fan for 20 yrs. what I would give to see that puppet show. thanks for the up.
This is a great interview, thanks for uploading it.
Thanx for the comment, it's all about sharing
Love the interview as CRASS was and still is one of my favorite bands. However, as a frog, I wish there were some subtitles !
I went to see Crass in Holborn, drank too much and fell asleep on a chair and woke up after Crass had started playing to see a table flying towards me and a load of skinheads fucking the place up. Managed to find my mate and caught the last train home. Good times!
I really enjoyed listening to Steve here, especially his description of traditional Punch and Judy shows free from inane PC censorship of pantomime puppetry mocking wife beating and infanticide, etc. I grew up within a few miles of a northwestern seaside resort which once boasted 2 Victorian piers and 3 fairgrounds it became the desired destination elderly gentlefolk retired to, instead of the bedsit bedlam infamous for streets strewn with used syringes it is now. Thanks for this upload.
Great interview. He’s come up in the world, last time I saw him performing in Middlesbrough, during the Falklands War, he was drinking a can of Kestrel lager.
Brilliant that,thanks for uploading, always loved Steve, this confirms it

Would have loved to have lived your experience !!!
They really shaped my attitude to . Still know most of the lyrics by HEART !
I have written at length about living near Crass and being part of it all at the start, i'm writing a book, nearly done, i'll keep you posted
wi lub yah Steb, tanks fa sharing yu life wit wi❤
great interview n film ,,, Steve is as real as this the few times Ive met him ..Terry Ex Leveller
Yeah he's a
top man
18:31 ... regardless of one's economic/political standpoint; that's a question raised by A LOT of musicians of all genres.
bloody nice bloke !
Absolutely, thanx for your feedback,
He has an unreleased rap record 😳
Great interview, perhaps the least ignorant Steve I know of! 👍
That was fantastic, but does anyone know why Steve got a yearning for pickled onions
Dagenham, they wean em there onto sausage, chips, pickled onions, eggs & gherkins, chopped up ofc.
Been a bit quiet during the scamdemic has crass ; funny that
for my money the greatest punk front man of them all.
brilliant
The contradictions between Steve's recollections and Penny's are pretty telling. Rimbaud always explains how they ended up with "bins of money" after feeding was re-pressed and Steve obviously never saw any of it. When Steve did the Last supper at Shepherd's Bush Penny wanted no part of it and called it "total crap" which is easier to do when you still live at Dial House and have a nice productive garden and a few quid in the bank.
I recently read 'the day the country died' & the impression I got was that Penny was money minded about the whole thing. Several bands mention he was controlling about production & artwork against their wishes. He mentions himself that he wanted all the bands to be somewhat of a similar aesthetic so that the records would be recognizable & sell. Kinda rubbed me the wrong way.
@petetestube2904 Funfact: Branding was developed by the early anarchist-movement. Though their intention was to protect themselves against monarchy and capitalism.
I always thought that bands deserved a fair few quid for their efforts, I never saw any problem with people who make those efforts getting some money. Why should they starve and not be able to afford clothes to keep warm and pay heating and energy bills in winter.
16.00 I have mixed in "fun in the oven "at dance /jazz -funk club nights a few times Steve, should see people (who ain't familiar with it) dumb founded when you tell em it's CRASS. Sorry to all the PUNK AS FUCK cass fans out there but "fun in... "has always been one of my favourite crass toonz
UP ありがとう🙏
32:02 the 100 club and marquee had low stages and youd end up on the band
I love CR(A)SS and after watching this I would like to have a beer with this bloke 'ere...haha
STRATFORD MERCENARIES wasnt a bad group either
Yeah he is a really nice bloke, very genuine and a great laugh especially if your having a beer with him
Thanks for sharing. It’s a bit difficult to follow for a non-native speaker. Is it cockney or just some other dialect/shibboleth. ❤✊🏻🏴
Neat.
Really enjoyed that.... Cheers Sid & Steve.......
