Lead guitar duties for Screaming Lunch fell to Bully Jack.� A veteran of the London punk scene, he was known for his crushing power chords and smashing fists.� He served with many bands before finding quasi-stability with the Lunch crew.His outfits changed often, but the goggles were his one constant.� He never removed them in concert or interviews.� His elaborate hair was also a sham.� This lent some mystery to Lunch's act: for five years, no one knew his face.� "Last band 'fore lunch, I signed me resignation with the bassist's face on the kick drum,"� he said in December '82.� "'E asked me if me goggles were prescription.� Band 'fore that I made me mate eat a Polaroid when 'e caught me with 'm off.� Good times..."
Bully claimed he was at least the equal of Ace in the 'Groupie Grope'.� His anonymous nature at the time makes that pretty much impossible to prove or deny.
Ace Feral was really too pretty to be punk.� He looked too metal.� This guy's a little more punkish, but maybe still too metal.� Hmm.� I fear having to draw the drummer.� Drum kits are hard.
