Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.
UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.
COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.
Disappointments were a punk/hardcore band from Muskegon, Michigan, USA, where some members also played as a touring band for GG Allin and the band itself also collaborated with the artist for the Outside Inside EP in 1989. GG is best remembered for his notorious live performances in the 80's and 90's that typically featured wildly transgressive acts such as defecating onstage, committing self harm, and a variety of violent actions towards the audience and even animals. GG died in 1993 of an heroin overdose, before pledging that he would commit suicide on stage as a work of art.
Links To Peel[]
Peel mentioned on his 19 January 1988 show that he got a hold of the Disappointments record when he read a review of their 7" on a Maximumrocknroll music fanzine and asked their record label to send him a copy, which they did and started playing tracks from it in that year.
