Ken Liversausage - Gooseberry Puss
A track from the 1978 compilation Aylesbury Goes Flaccid released on Flaccid Records. The collection also featured tracks by Wild Willy Barrett, Vice Creems, Anal Surgeons and Robert And The Remoulds amongst others. The album was re issued on the Castle Music label in 2007.
Here is an extract from the book Cowley Road: A History by Annie Skinner with some background on Ken (aka Dick Page)....
Ken Liversausage started as a duo with one song then progressed to 11 with 26 songs in an hour and was influenced by Zappa, the Tubes and cross dressing in various outrageous outfits. I used every prop I could—bikes to women, and I dont give a fuck lyrics... Lyrics were mainly about vomit, fucking up, shit and drugs! Soon began to take myself seriously... and seriously thought I was good... Punks and skinheads and bikers were the main followers and students... Shock Rock seemingly appealed to many, thanks to punk... Always tried to shock — matter of pride really. Had a punch up with Phil Collins and played to Pete
Townsend and Sid Vicious in Speakeasy London. Fell through stage at first gig—had broken drumstick pushed into my arse while flashing to audience—spent hours bent over bar having splinters removed by my landlady! Once the whole band was in full costume, off their heads in casualty after the roadie turned the van over after doing a gig in Wantage—no one hurt that bad but all staff keen to look and get autographs—crazy! Gigs would often end up in a punch up... [there was a] high turnover of staff cos I thought I was God—no room for compromise there! Couldnt sing or play a note but thought I could. Biggest crowd was 3,500.
I wouldnt come off stage, so they pulled the plug and in the paper next day a police spokesman said,if Mr Liversausage had used that sort of language on the street we would have been forced to arrest him. Split the ceiling in the Oranges and Lemons and my ears bled after playing too loud. 3,000 watts was a bit excessive, I suppose-200 was normal pub sound level but I liked it loud! Still do! I liked my backing vox to look like Roxy Music but they liked to dress in dustbin bags. Supported Generation X and Tubeway Army, and many other up-and-coming bands. £25 was normal pay but once got £100—a lot 30 years ago... my plan for every gig as
to shock! I always ended up naked at the end! For the Jubilee celebrations I was the Queen in a wedding dress, crown and riding a mini motorbike round the Oranges and Lemons car park before making my first solo gig with the Robert Wakely Band and waved to the crowd...
To say that Dick enjoyed his career in the entertainment industry would be something of an understatement. If today he admits that he could neither sing nor play, there is no doubt that he pulled the crowds and was a talented entertainer. His antics, fuelled by alcohol, were encouraged by his audience who loved the unpredictability of the show.They were sometimes risky, as this
recollection shows:
Did a gig at the Coop Hall and borrowed my mates 1200 Harley
Davidson bike. it was a beautiful bike. We had to do all sorts of things to get it up the back... made ramps and carried it up. Nobody knew what was going to happen... I burst through the fire doors on this bike... supported by two blokes...There was shock horror on the faces of audience... it was difficult to steer the bike on the polished floor... and I picked up speed as I got towards the stage and tried to avoid crashing into the audience! The bike owner was horrified... the original plan was to ride round the room but this was not on as I could not control it!
One follower remembers:The thing about Ken Liversausage was that he was so totally outrageous... he was a good floorshow... wild, unpredictable and very entertaining? Ken Liversausage was around for a relatively short time-probably just under two years-but he is well remembered as a performer whose behaviour was unconventional and often offensive, but never boring. As Dick says, Thank God for punk, it gave everyone a chance to have a go, including me.
