Celebrating 35 years of living dead, UK gothic punk rockers, the Damned are making a triumphant return to Australia in January 2012 supported by Sydney’s own Kill City Creeps.
Though the Sex Pistols became the most publicised of all the original London punk groups, it was the Damned who scored some of the most notable ‘firsts’ of the movement, particularly the first U.K. punk single – “New Rose” – in 1976 and the first album, Damned Damned Damned, the following year. Produced by Nick Lowe (Elvis Costello, Pretenders), both were clipped, direct explosions of sheer energy, sometimes rude but never less than entertaining.

Over the past 10 years, the band has undertaken a touring schedule that younger bands would probably wet their designer jeans at. Taking in virtually every territory in the world, the Damned embarked on a seemingly never ending mission to affirm to old fans and their offspring that this band was growing old disgracefully. This included a legendary performance in 2003, headlining the Avalon stage at Glastonbury, where the Damned caused a near riot with the amount of people sloping away from main stage headliners R.E.M to catch what many quoted as the best performance of the festival – hands down.
35 years on, it’s safe to say that the rush of witnessing a Damned live show is still comparable to that first buzz of energy released at some long forgotten sweat box of youth. Combining full-on rock energy, a stylish sense of performance, and humorous deadpan cool, this is the real Damned deal.
