The Vibrators: Marquee, London
Paul Rambali, NME, 6 August 1977
THE TWO-FINGER salute put in a surprise appearance at The Vibrators' gig on Sunday. Whether the dozen pairs of arms frantically waving V signs were symptomatic of the Marquee's usual quota of foreign tourists, whether it was simply V for Vibrators, or whether it was more proof of punk just being this year's heavy metal I don't know.
