Rubella Ballet with Zillah Minx &amp; Sid Truelove in conversation with David Eastaugh The band was formed by drummer Sid Ation (born Sid Truelove, 18 April 1960, Sutton Coldfield, a former chef, later also the drummer with Flux of Pink Indians), former Fatal Microbes Pete Fender (Dan Sansom, guitar), Gem Stone (Gemma Sansom, bass) and It (Quentin North, also bass), with vocalists Annie Anxiety and Womble. Annie, Womble and It were involved only initially, left and were replaced by vocalist Zillah Minx (born Zillah Elaine Ashworth, 31 March 1961, Birkenhead). Fender and Stone were the son and daughter of Poison Girls singer Vi Subversa. The band used Poison Girls equipment to jam and write songs and their first performance was when they took to the stage at a Crass/Poison Girls concert. They had originally been called Rubella Babies.The band's first proper gig was a fundraiser for the Theatre Royal in Stratford, which ended in a riot, and the band played frequently, often asking audience members to put them up after gigs.

Rubella Ballet special with Zillah Minx and Side Truelove

Zillah Minx is the singer of the first-wave UK punk band Rubella Ballet and the director of a documentary called “She’s a Punk Rocker UK.” If that sounds familiar, it’s not a coincidence. Sharing a similar name can put you in touch with some very cool people.Zillah is so old-school, she was a punk before punk really even had a name. We talk about growing up in London in the ‘70s, hearing the term “punk rocker” on TV for the first time, being best friends with Poly Styrene of the X-Ray Spex, and much, much more. If any of you out there are history nerds, Zillah is what you’d call a ‘primary source,’ and she is an absolute wealth of knowledge, experience and perspective on one of the most consequential cultural shifts of the 20th century.Keep up with Zillah at:http://www.rubellaballet.comSubscribe to the podcast ANYWHEREiTunes: https://bit.ly/2MytuTwSpotify: https://bit.ly/2MxSNoMConnect with the podcast:Email: shesapunkpodcast@gmail.comInstagram @shesapunkpodcastwww.shesapunk.comMost importantly, if you like the show, consider supporting us on Patreon.
