Eater became one of the pioneering punk bands that played live in the first few months of the now-legendary Roxy Club . They topped the bill twice in January 1977; the second time they were supported by the Damned . They headlined again in February, this time supported by Johnny Moped , and twice more in March, supported first by the Lurkers and then by Sham 69 . They also supplied two of their tracks, “15” (a version of ” I’m Eighteen ” by Alice Cooper ) and “Don’t Need It”, to the seminal live compilation album The Roxy London WC2 , released on 24 June 1977 by Harvest Records . Extracts from their performances at The Roxy were also included in Don Letts ‘ Punk Rock Movie (1978).
