Forty years ago The Damned released the first UK punk rock single ‘New Rose’, the first UK punk album ‘Damned Damned Damned’ and were the first UK punks to tour the United States. Never ones to intellectualize their music The Damned made, and continue to do so, a holy racket. Punk rock brats responsible for inventing the obnoxious craze of ‘gobbing’ on live bands, their brand of raucous mayhem is without compare. They may be creaking into their sixties but don’t expect the live Damned energy to wilt one bit. Captain Sensible is one of the world’s most underrated guitarists and The Damned live will blow you away!
