Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Terry Chimes, Paul Simenon and Keith Levine became The Clash in late 1976. Inspired by seeing The Sex Pistols and the music they were making, the boys quickly evolved a stance and image that endeared them to the punk masses. Their first outing was a gig at their rehearsal studios in Camden for journalists and friends which caused Giovanni Dadomo a reviewer for Sounds to opine "I think they're the first band to come along who'll really frighten the Sex Pistols shitless." Indeed their first public gig was supporting The Sex Pistols at The Screen On The Green Islington London. Charles Shaar Murray, in a famous quote he wishes he'd never made, said in the NME they "..are the kind of garage band who should speedily be returned to their garage, preferably with the motor running." This was too much for Levine who left leaving the boys as a four piece.
