Buzzcocks at the Wulfrun Hall, Wolverhampton
BUZZCOCKS (Wulfrun Hall)
click here to buy tickets
Thursday 22nd January 2009 - 7pm

Buzzcocks will perform their first two classic albums Another Music In A Different Kitchen and Love Bites in their entirety + other hits. Buzzcocks' first album, Another Music in a Different Kitchen, was released almost exactly thirty years ago. It is a major punk landmark and a great record to boot. It's full of fire, wit, speed, philosophical lyrics and gender explorations, as well the sly psychedelia that always made Buzzcocks stand out from the pack. Love Bites is the second Buzzcocks recording. It came at a troubled period for the group and the culture that had formed them. After the demise of the Rotten Sex Pistols in January 1978, Punk was seen as over: its original unitary thrust dissipated into movement and countermovement, Power Pop, Post-Punk, Mod Revival. As a front rank punk group, Buzzcocks were in danger of becoming yesterday's future. Or so it seemed. In fact, 1978 was an extraordinary year for the group. They released two albums, five singles - all of them hits, with two in the top twenty - and toured relentlessly. One of those singles, "Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've?)" is now acknowledged as a pop classic. (back to top)

The Pretty Things at the Alexandra Theatre, Birmingham
THE PRETTY THINGS (Alexandra Theatre)
click here to buy tickets
Friday 30th January 2009 - 7pm
Originally an offshoot of the primordial Rolling Stones, lead guitarist Dick Taylor broke away to form the Pretty Things in 1962. Securing a major label deal within months of their inception, the band attracted press attention with their unfettered power and controversial, unkempt appearance, their raunchy style of R&B spawned a run of successful releases. By 1967, The Pretty Things had become immersed in the underground psychedelic scene, developing a more harmony-led, experimental sound. Continuing to play live and record throughout the 80s and 90s, The Pretty Things continue their evolution as an enduring musical force. (back to top)
