Watch English Teacher perform six tracks from their debut album This Could Be Texas @ Jumbo Records in their hometown Leeds: "Post-punk can team up with art rock and New Wave to create something that defies pigeonholing. Their boldness is not just a pose, but very real, taking shit from nobody. The defying I'm Not crying, You're Crying sums it quite nicely."
Setlist:- Albatross
- I'm Not Crying, You're Crying
- Mastermind Specialism
- This Could Be Texas
- You Blister My Paint
- Albert Road
- Nearly Daffodils
Note: not enough room to set up a drum kit, so Douglas Frost switched to piano.
