 Presumably this gig and the following night’s are the infamous, and rather disastrous for the Brinsleys, Famepushers debacle. As described by Will Birch:
"The preposterous 1970 launch of the band Brinsley Schwarz – affectionately known to its participants as ‘The Hype’ – is the stuff of rock legend. To describe it in the briefest way possible, its movie logline might read: ‘Over ambitious pop managers launch incompetent beat group by sending a plane-load of drunken journalists to review their debut in New York… hilarity ensues.’ "
Not sure the Brinsleys ever fully recovered from this.
