Cassette Only Live Album
Recorded At The Norwich Peaceful Green Fair July 3rd 1983

UNDERGROUND ZERØ is a British NWoBHM band, initially formed in Norfolk in 1979. The band is also known as UZØ.
While the band is often referred to as 'Underground Zero' or 'Underground Zer0' in print, the official name of the band includes the slashed zero in its name.
The sound of the band is comparible to the likes of RUNESTAFF, MOURNBLADE or HAWKWIND, with prog or space-rock parts contrasting with their heavier side.
The nucleus of UZØ was started in 1979 by Andrew Rix (bass/vocals), Adrian Rix (keyboards), Judi Griggs (vocals), Brian Savage (drums) and Karl Dawson (guitar).
Initially known as GROUND ZERØ, in 1981 guitarist Paul Holden joined the band, with his brother Sean taking over the drum stool in 1983.
At this point the name became Underground Zerø to avoid confusion with a London based R&B group.
The band recorded a studio session for Tommy Vance’s BBC Radio 1 'Friday Rock Show' and became a very popular stage act on the live scene.
They performed at the large open air charity concert 'Anglia For Africa' in Norwich in 1985, playing alongside the likes of Hawkwind & MAGNUM.
Underground Zerø also performed at the last Stonehenge Free Festival with Hawkwind.
Although UZØ never split up they stopped performing live in 1994.
In 2005, they resumed live performance and released a CD, "Powerplay", featuring remixed versions of the studio tracks from their vinyl releases.

"We were booked to headline at the all day ‘Peaceful Green Fayre'. During the day while walking around the stalls we met Nik Turner who said that he had liked our tape and so, not wanting to miss an opportunity, we asked him to join us on stage. At the end of the evening Nik dragged his sax on stage and we played manic versions of ‘Master of the Universe' and ‘Silver Machine'. A recording of this found its way onto a tape in November 1983 with some tracks recorded at another gig and ‘The Official Bootleg', our first live tape, was born."
