The Human League/Vice Versa: The Now Society, Sheffield University, Sheffield
Andy Gill, NME, 29 July 1978
THE NOW Society, a university-based organisation, has been putting on gigs featuring local, predominantly experimental bands (such are the local mores) for some time now; first on tonight are Vice Versa, a bizarro threesome who show occasional flashes of promise, but whose pretentiousness becomes ultimately quite tiresome.
