MOD
My wife recently bought me a Grey "Ben Sherman" sweatshirt with the mod logo on. I don't think she knows the history of the logo, she just knew I like the Ben Sherman label.
The mod subculture had run its course by the time I hit my teens but I knew a few guys with parka's , who liked The Jam and The Who. It was many years later first I watched "Quadraphenia". Probably around the time the Brighton based label "skint" released a free "big beat" mixtape entitled "mockers"
My parents discouraged my brothers and I from getting motorbikes when we were 16. This was in part because my mum apparently had a vespa in her youth and fell off it.
Around the turn of the millennium a friend "Kung Fu Jo" who used to come down to the Yellow Dragon Centre / Temple introduced me to two friends of hers Joe and Jed from the an underground techno crew ."Chiba City Sound"
I met had Joe before at Clays Lane when he was involved with the Asian soundsystem "Joi" However he and Jed were now both wearing black, riding vespa's and representing the "Faceless 23 scooter club."
