Johnny & the Self Abusers were one of Glasgow,
Scotland's few punk bands, albeit a rather bizarrely entertaining one. Hailing
from the city's south side, their gigs featured their own light show, replete
with DayGlo skulls. They also looked the part, wearing generous amounts of
makeup; one of the singers, who often went by the name Pripton Weird, lacked
eyebrows. Signed to the Chiswick label, the group released one single in late
1977, Saints and Sinners. Inner turmoil busted up the band around the time of
its release, dividing it into two factions: Charlie Burchill, Brian McGee, and
Weird (better known as Jim Kerr) formed Simple Minds; while John Milarky formed
the Cuban Heels with his brother Donald, Alastair Mackenzie and Michael McNeil.
