V2 formed in March 1977 evolving from the early Manchester punk scene
based around the legendary Electric Circus venue. Of the four Manchester punk bands around at the time - The Fall, Buzzcocks, V2 and Warsaw - V2 were the ones who fell to earth: 'as subtle as flying buzz-bombs' and destined for the same early grave.
V2 gigs were chaotic, but this was where they really made their mark.
Audiences were treated to a white-faced, black-eyed, bad-skinned young band wearing Frankenstein boots, who attacked the crowd with guitars hacked into cricket bats, bombed them with flour bags and once, set them on fire with cheap flash-bombs thrown by a drunken 'helper'. You either loved 'em or you fuckin' hated em!
Faced with a constant lack of money/motivation and bad management the
band fell to bits. Underachievement has given the band a cult status
that some 'more successful bands' can only dream of...
