A rather fruity review from Edna in the Liverpool Poly Shout magazine.
Read it in the ALT.

Ernie Woo!

EXTRA! EXTRA! IT'S NOT JUST MUSIC. IT'S ART(?)

In two classic sets taken at breakneck speed, a sellout crowd saw Benny Profane confirm beyond doubt all the promise they've shown for so long

Returning to the Monro to play for their old mentor Ernie Woo (remember that epic week week in June? no nor do I) the Profanes dug deep in their bulging bucket of songs to thrash out golden oldies like "Recoil" and "Hang Fire from their much sought-after "Where is Pig EP, with, as ever, wealth of new material.

Set one: and Accident prone sets the pace as several hundred happy punters pack the room wall to wall and settle to some Kamikaze Drinking.
By "Here Comes The Floor", them music lovers is a foot-tappin' and a eartwitching (there ain't no room to dance, see) fit to bust Great! "Frying Ants" and "Hit Me With A Wild Thing" two of the newys here excellent both.

Set two: there's now maybe a thousand eager, if wobbly, bodies packed around the stage: drums become guitars and we're off again, louder and dafter than ever. Suddenly the pace slows to a crawl, and a new song, "A Cage For Two instantly memorable (I think that was the one) and surely a classic of the eighties? The audience stands transfixed then it's back to 100 miles per with "Stitch That"... and on, to "Beam Me Up" and a deafening SHOUT(sick) of "encore!" What a night! Wouldn't have missed it for the world. Now you may get the impression that I'm a fan of Benny Profane: not so I'm a Rolf Harris girl myself. But even to my skeptical mind, there can be little doubt that this is THE live band of 1987.

Catch the Profanes (if you're quick) at the Haigh on Saturday Dec. 13th and failing that, at the Cafe Berlin on New Year's Eve

The ad that Liam Rice answered when he joined the Profanes.
Hear him in action on Peel Session 3.
Keeping the 'Eric & Ernie' theme going.
