Wikipedia:
The Macc Lads were a punk and hard rock band from Macclesfield, UK. Self-proclaimed "rudest, crudest, lewdest, drunkest band in Christendom", The Macc Lads used irreverent and foul-mouthed lyrics, political incorrectness, drinking, sexism and homophobia.
Concerts
During the band's career they were banned, prevented from entering, or ejected from gigs in Macclesfield, London, Huddersfield, Bury, Cornwall, Blackpool, Colchester, Hull, Newcastle, Cleethorpes, Northampton, Leeds, Wigan, Lincoln, Bolton, Mansfield, Portsmouth, Cheltenham, Norwich and the USA.
A concert at the Birmingham Hummingbird in 1989 resulted in thousands of pounds worth of damage by fans. Vandalism included scaffolding from upper levels pulled apart and thrown onstage with also a broken toilet, pots of paint and ashtrays. Band members McCavity and Mutley suffered cut heads, and fans went on stage to fight road crew and stage security members Lockstock and Mungo.
The Lads's website states that at a gig in Cheltenham in 1991 a "bag of hot sick" was thrown at the band.
Break up
The band last performed together at a private show in 1997 for Muttley's local football team Mary Dendy, in Macclesfield. At that time, the line up was the four-piece of Muttley, Winston Dread, Al O'Peesha and Johnny Mard.
The last time the band were together was in 1999 for an interview at the Ivy House public house, Macclesfield, for The Bear's Head fan website. Present were Stez Styx, The Beater, Muttley and Al O'Peesha. The interview was conducted by Bear's Head contributor and fan Liquid Goblin.
