Hüsker Dü: Marquee, London
Mat Snow, NME, 14 September 1985
I WAS going to sign this piece off, "Once more Hüsker Dü prove themselves to be the most primally exciting group on the surface of the planet burble burble burble..." That was certainly true of their incandescent performance at the Camden Place on 14th May, so what gives now?
