The Damned Go Down Under 7/12/23

Undisputed, unmatched and unassailable living Gods of Punk Rock, The Damned have reassembled the absolute classic lineup, namely Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies and Paul Gray, of which this fabled and trailblazing band will next year grace Australia with highlights from their seminal albums, 'Machine Gun Etiquette', 'The Black Album' and 'Strawberries', as well as fan favourites like ‘Neat Neat Neat’ and ‘New Rose’ (today's Video Of The Day). In fact 'New Rose' is recognised as the very first single by a Punk band, coming out five weeks before the Sex Pistols 'Anarchy In the UK’, and they were also the first British Punk band to tour the United States, not only inspiring the first wave of west coast Hardcore and Punk, but also paved the way to Goth Rock.
