The Soft Boys - Where Are The Prawns? BL2 unofficial release cassette VG+

THE SOFT BOYS - WHERE ARE THE PRAWNS? LIVE AT THE ASTORIA, LONDON, 13TH JAN 94

A chaotic and triumphant document of one of the most unlikely reunions in psych-rock history, Where Are The Prawns? captures the "classic" lineup—Hitchcock, Rew, Seligman, and Windsor—taking the stage at London's Astoria for their first full gig in over a decade. Originally reunited to promote the Rykodisc reissues of their catalog, the band quickly proved that their chemistry hadn't aged a day, delivering a set that was as musically tight as it was lyrically surreal.

The performance is a high-octane sprint through their greatest hits, from the jangly perfection of "Underwater Moonlight" to the jagged, feedback-heavy "I Wanna Destroy You." The title itself stems from Hitchcock’s characteristically bizarre onstage banter, a recurring theme throughout a night that balanced nostalgia with a fierce, contemporary energy. For fans who missed their initial late-70s run, this recording (often circulated as a high-quality soundboard bootleg or limited fan-club release) serves as the definitive proof that The Soft Boys were the spiritual godfathers of the 90s alternative explosion.

Unofficial (not on label) release, catalog BL2, by bassist Andy Metcalfe of soundboard recording from a live concert at London's Astoria on 13th January 1994.
