BMX Bandits: Totally Groovy Live Experience (Avalanche) ****

HEAD BANDIT Douglas is one of life's oddballs — a pasty-faced jumble sale of a man, hooked on sweets and crisps and sporting pierced nipples and heavy duty tattoos that would make a sailor sweat. This 'king of the wimps' first poked out his crooked pop finger of fun during the great anorak whore-show. His sloppy style and lightweight approach quickly had Douglas brushed aside as some harmless irritant, but we missed the point — the man is a genius. An irksome genius maybe, but if genius is pain and all that, then this merriest of pranksters is the Glasgow godstar.
