Wotcha

This 'ere pic page is where you get the chance to see us 'Yobs posing for the camera and also witness snapshots of live performances, see us in the studio or see us havin' a sneaky beer or two after a gig. We'll try to keep 'em relevant and interesting. If you have pics of The 'Yob in action or one of Chipshop John hoarding all the pies then whizz it on down to us at pics@superyob.com
We did a photo session a while back with the very talented Ginger Jim up at our rehearsal studio in Deptford. Some results are shown here. Ace took a load up at the recording studio when we did the album so I'll get them up shortly. Frankie's also got some from the shows we did at Herne Bay, Donk and Northfleet last year so I'll get Paul Hair to scan 'em for me and fling 'em up on the site too.


Marvel at our handsomeness.....

THIS NEXT LOT OF PHOTOS NEWLY UPLOADED 25.4.02

 

 

Here you have the ultimate in Streetrock beefcake, kids. We sent Frankie behind the camera to take this masterpiece featuring me, Chipshop and Ace still glowing after a particularly taxing practice session.
Just a small sample of some of many photos we've taken of people apparently enjoyin' themselves at our gigs. Anyone would've thought they'd just 'ad a few beers and seen four geezers make a bleedin' racket. This one features Mrs. Flame, Dave Peanut and some of the Belgian crew.

 

 
Wot we 'ave 'ere is some snaps of your fave band members in live action. We decided to don fancy dress for our Christmas gig. Here you see Chipshop as "The Real Fat Shady", Ace as "60s Mod Dandy" and me as "Fat Bearded Bloke in a Dress". Frankie decided to go as a lovable Sarf London Geezer, which is not really fancy dress 'cos he dresses like that anyway. Here 'e is entertaining Belgian Nick at Die Kastelein. Up The 'Ammers......

 
'Ere's some more fancy dress pics from the Red Lion gig. Top left you've got Ace's personal trainer and his style advisor, top and botttom right you've got some of the Blackheath Crew (featuring Peanut again - does anyone possess a picture of this bloke sober ?) and bottom left sees Frankie at another gig altogether.

 
Our final selection for now shows each 'Yob relaxing at his own individual instrument:- Ace proudly clutching his favourite tom-tom, me cosily nestled between me best muckers Gibson and Marshall, Frankie tinkling the old ivories and Chipshop....just relaxing at his own individual instrument......

 

This photo update 26th May 2002
Ere's a snap wot was sent to us a wee while ago by Boni from the French band The Veros. We played on the same bill at Herne Bay last year and she's obviously a bit of a whizz on the old computer. Don't expect none of that fancy stuff from us just yet......

-------------------------------------

Update 30th May 2002
Now 'ere's a little test for yer. Can you spot any resemblance between the fresh faced little angel on the right in the left 'and photo above and Chipshop John in full flight on stage at The Studio in Hartlepool in the right 'and photo above ? No, neither could we....

 

Photo Update June 14th 2002
'Ere's a quick treat for the ladies. Streetpunk's favourite waif-like supermodels, Dave Haystacks and Chipshop John couldn't resist the obvious Michelin Man photo opportunity on the road from Dundee to Hartlepool. Chipshop is on the blower to 'is agent .......

A few pics of the boys on or about the stage at Dundee and Hartlepool. Sorry about the crap quality, I fink Degz's scanner is on the bleedin' blink......

 

Get yer skates on to the DUNDEE DIARY page for loads more photos of our trip.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update September 22nd 2002
'Ere are a couple from the 'Ghetto Blaster' recordin' sessions. On the left you 'ave Frankie just after 'is traditional vocal warm up of a nice cup of tea and a couple of Woodbines and on the right you 'ave Dave Haystacks lookin' down in despair at 'is poor achin' fingers after 3 hours of Ace inspired overdubs.
 

 

'Ere's a live action shot from last year's Herne Bay extravaganza. Dave Haystacks is in the middle of a Pete Townsend-esque guitar manouevre while Chipshop is alerted to the invading aroma of a fish supper entering the auditorium. Frankie is soldierin' on valliantly even with 2 groin height monitors to contend with.

Wot we 'ave 'ere is Mrs Flame leadin' the travellin' Blackheath Barmy Army in traditional knees-upmanship. Venue was last years Christams Party at The Red Lion. Note the festive attempts at fancy dress and the absence of a pissed Peanut from this photo.
Last one for this time sees your heroes mid gig at the Red Lion Fancy Dress Do. Dave is wearin' last seasons massive green dress wiv matchin' DM accessories while Chipshop is radiant in a cheeky little off the shoulder number. Frankie is fetchin' in a Geezer ensemble by up and comin' young designer Daisy Roots.

 

Updated Photos October 17th 2002

Finally got some photos back from Oddy of Resistance 77 from our last gig in Hounslow in August.
'Ere we 'ave the whole motley crew assembled together. From left to right we have Ellis, Haystacks, Ace, Frankie, Mushy, Chipshop, Oddy and Kieron. Spot the odd one out....
 

'Ere you 'ave Street Rock's answer to Bros......Frankie and Oddy....separated at birth surely...

 
This one shows SUPERYOB at their sartorial best. Unbeknown to you, dear viewer, Haystacks is actually wearin' a pair of proper 'round the 'ouses'. Must have been about 68" waist tho' the fat chuff. Frankie is lovin' the camera, Ace looks like 'e's about to drop one and Chipshop is indulging in that quaint old Staffordshire pastime of pie garglin'.
Last one for this time sees Frankie doin' wot 'e does best....no, not posin' for the camera, but up on stage, mic in 'and leadin' the kids in a right old sing song.

 

Latest Photo Update May 12th 2003
'Ere's a selection from wot French Eddie took when 'e's seen us over the last year or two. Top left is The 'Yob at Live 'n' Loud in Belgium. 'Aystacks looks a bit slim there.....must be 'oldin' 'is bleedin' gut in.You can also see Big George at the front.....the only man capable of out-Chipshop-ing Chipshop 'imself. Top right sees Frankie leading the crowd at The Westy in Dundee in the Okey Cokey...'You put your right leg in....' while 'Aystacks strains one out. Bottom left sees the boys onstage at The Studio in Hartlepool (nice mini-dress Frankie.....goes well with the denim tights) and bottom right sees Chipshop traeting 'is bass like 'is women....middle finger to the fore and without a fuckin' clue wot 'e's doin'.....Cheers Eddie....good luck with Revenge Records....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right....'ere are some from 'aystacks trip to the USA in February. Dodgy bleeder only went and wore 'is shorts all week an all. 'E reckons it was -17 on 'is last night there and 'e still 'ad 'em on. Cor Blimey.

Top left sees 'Aystacks and 'Aystacks Junior out in the snow in Cambridge MA just down the road from where they reckon they met Dan Ackroyd.....yeah, my arse!!!!! Top centre sees Matt 'Tough Sticks' Kelly showing just 'ow bleedin' tough 'e is in the khazi at the Blackout Bar in Allston MA. So tough 'e washes 'is 'ands and looks at 'imself in the mirror...sounds more like 'Puff Sticks' to me...Top right sees 'Aystacks waitin' at the airport for the flight 'ome. They'd 'ad one hours sleep after a jolly old night on the hit and miss and 'e weren't laughin' later when the fat wanker was chuckin' up in the bog on the plane. Middle left sees 'Aystacks at the bar where everyone knows your name...yeah 'MUG' is your bloody name if you pop in there for a pint...well chuffin' expensive for a beer and it's nuffink more than a souvenir shop. Middle right sees a group shot at the top featuring Joe Tampoff (it was never 'is round funnily enough), B-Lo, MK, 'Aystacks Junior, 'Aystacks and Lance Terror (Disclaimer: No member of SUPERYOB consumed Budweiser at any point during the taking of these photographs). Underneath you have the 2 members of Boston's newest promotion team:- The Hub Syndicate...'Dodgy' Matt Kelly and 'Crafty' Brian Logan. Bottom left sees 'Aystacks and MK at the Boston Bruins game at The Fleet Centre in North Boston. The Bruins lost and Matt blamed the Brits.....note the England rugby top...a REAL man's game. Bottom middle sees Greg Tampoff:- Boston's one & only 2 Beer Queer. This was taken after his first sip of Bud....The Queen of Beers. Bottom right sees 'Aystacks posin' outside the offie in the snow.
THERE WILL BE MORE BOSTON SHENANIGANS ON DISPLAY WHEN HAYSTACKS GETS OFF HIS ARSE AND WRITES HIS BOSTON DIARY.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just a quick couple of the mighty Chipshop John in action. Top left sees The Buddha of Chiswick takin' a breather durin' a rehearsal at Cybersound. Top middle see 'im mid-pie after an ACEFACE gig. Top right sees 'is mighty axe in all its glory. Bottom left sees Chippy nuts deep in a pastie durin' the album recordin' and bottom sees 'im enjoyin' a romantic sausage roll based interlude with a chum.

I've bin promised some Chipshop classics from Steve at Oi!4England. When 'e sends 'em I'll whack 'em up.

Another Update May 13th 2003

Well, 'ere are a motley old collection of snaps from the recent SUPERYOB/ON FILE jaunt across Germany. Top left is in the 'otel after the gig at Bulli's in Chemnitz. We thought we'd 'ave time for a beer or two after the venue slung us out at about 2-ish......the bleedin' place never shut!!!!!! hence Chipshop, Ace and Frankie gettin' to bed about 9a.m. Notice how pissed the On File girls Stew and Hedgy are and how strong and sober the 'Yob boys are...well, apart from Ace maybe. Top right sees Haystacks doin' a bit of guitar wizardry playin' at Die Trinkteufel (The Drink Devil) pub in Berlin. Chipshop told 'im he's spilt some pie on his strings.....Next row left sees Hedgy in full flight in Berlin...blowin' kisses to all the boys as usual. On the right sees a classic Chipshop manoeuvre:- get someone to take a photo of Ace, Frankie and 'Aystacks while he buggers orf and wades into the backstage grub. They fall for it every time. Next left sees the ever-smilin' face of street rock:- Pete from On File on stage at AJZ in Erfurt. He told me after he'd really enjoyed the show....you wouldn't have soddin' known would yer? Next to that is a wide angle effort of 'Aystacks fast a bleedin' kip outside Frankfurt Hahn airport. Frankie 'ad to shoo away the kids usin' 'im as a trampoline to get the photo. On the right is Stew behind the drums at AJZ. Bottom row sees a classic snap of Gordy from On File doin' 'is finest 'We shall fight them on the beaches...' backstage at Bulli's. We couldn't make out if the resemblance was to Winston Churchill or 'is blimmin' bulldog...In the middle we've got Lars from Punkroiber with the tour promoter Oli and 'is beautiful girlfriend Diana (she was an absolute diamond, Gawd bless 'er) backstage at AJZ. Last but not least is Chipshop licking the remnants of a pastie from the mic onstage at AJZ. Said remnants came from 'im dribblin' durin' soundcheck.

 

Blimey, A long overdue Photo Update February 4th 2004
This buch of fives was taken at the gig at the 12 Bar Club in London in March 2003. Spot the ones taken at stage level and spot the ones taken at balcony level....my favourite is the crowd shot bottom right....it's not often people are actually photographed fightin' to get out!!!!
Now let this be a lesson to you kids....this shows our heros midway through a humungous piss up following their gig in Chemnitz in Germany in April 2003....what you see is from left to right is:- Ace in a sorry old state, Frankie several sheets to the wind, Haystacks looking in horror at the size of his next beer and Chipshop showing his displeasure at the ridiculous length of time between rounds and the distinct lack of pie-sized bar snacks.

 
This lot are from our gig in August 2003 in Tampere, Finland. Top left sees Frankie lookin' for the merch man from the stage to check he ain't mis-counted the Euros. Middle top sees Haystacks perfectin' 'is 'Grab my arse will you Frank, while I'm soloing' face. Top right sees Lord Flame of Finland givin' the thumbs up. Bottom left sees the boys battlin' through their pre gig nerves with rather a lot of beer and bottom right sees 'em in action in Laterna.

 

Just a quick butchers at the 4 bands on November's WAISTED bill for the GHETTO BLASTER album launch party at The Bull & Gate in London. Top left sees ACEFACE, top right sees ACACIA AVENUE, bottom left sees the lovely LILLETTES and bottom right sees SUPERYOB themselves

 

Here are 4 from our recent stint in Oslo, Norway in December 2003. Thanks to Bjorn E for these....I've got a few more comin'..apparently there are some of Ace dancin' to Ska...watch this space. Top left sees The 'Yob in action. Top right sees Jimmy, Lee, Liz and Herve of Deadline. Bottom right sees Frankie on stage with The Whalers and bottom right sees Chipshop, Ace and Haystacks relaxin' during the Saturday night show.

 
A motley collection here:- top left sees Frankie with that mad as a hatter feller himself Sheffield Dave at the 12 Bar Club, top right sees our Swedish chums Per and Hans raising a glass whilst having their photo hijacked by Alison the Vodka Queen of Gravesend, bottom left sees Juleblot co-organiser Bjorn A and his missus Gunvor and we end with a couple of Chipshop classics:- the left hand one (courtesy of Mr Lee) see him absolutely shitfaced with Little Sarah and the right hand one sees him in his natural environment down at The Rifleman.

 

Couple of band shots here:- left hand one see the boys live on stage at The Jailhouse in Coventry supporting The Cockney Rejects in August 2003 and the right hand one shows one from the Degz Over Deptford 2003 photo session.

 

Now Frankie thought he was being underrepresented on the photos page so he put in a personal request to the webmaster for his own personal mini-montage. Here you have it.....the many faces of Frankie 'Boy' Flame.

 

Now here is a special treat for all you lady SUPERYOB fans out there who have been petitioning the webmaster for more hunky shots of the beautiful musical boilerhouse (Chipshop's had a few boilers in his house, but that's another story!!!) of the band:- Chipshop John and Dave Haystacks. Here they are girls, in all their glory. Please send your moistened drawers to Chipshop John c/o the usual Superyob P.O Box address....
