The End of Outrage
Unfortunately Pulp’s stint as part of The Outrage tour came to a second and final end in January – after a fight between Russell and Dog vis Drill’s Phil Maverick. “Russell and my backing singer Phil never got on,” says Ogy, “and one night while we were loading up the van to go down to this gig in London, [likely 17 Jan—Thames Poly] Phil just cracked and started attacking him. Beat him up. I couldn’t believe he’d done it, and Russell was laying it on, going, ‘I can’t play tonight, the gig’s off.’ I bollocked Phil, and we had to go to hospital and get Russell looked at, and we’re waiting around and it’s snowing outside. There’s nothing wrong with him of course, and when we finally got out, we’re going, ‘C’mon, we’ve got to go to this gig,’ and Russell wanted to sit in the front of the van. ‘Get in back, we’re going!’ ‘If I can’t sit in the front, I’m not going.’ And he fucked off, ran down the street and we chased him with the car. We finally got him, let him sit in the front, and did the gig.”
“After the gig there was a mix-up about the money, which was something we’d never had before, and Phil went for him again. I was just pissed up with some women or something, and Jarvis comes up to me and goes, ‘Ogy can you keep your backing vocalist under control?’ I said, ‘Yeah, what what’s the matter with him?’ He said, ‘He’s just attacked Russell again.’
