The Undertones plus special guests The Rezillos
Legendary punk-pop tunesmiths The Undertones emerged from Derry, Northern Ireland in 1974, and learned their trade by listening to mail order records and reading one of the few copies of NME that made it to Derry. Practicing in their bedrooms eventually led to them recording and releasing “Teenage Kicks” in 1978.
Press fast forward The Undertones present a glorious set of classic tracks taken from what are considered by many fans and critics to be some of the best punk albums of all time.
The Rezillos burst forth upon the rock scene in 1976, having gathered together at Edinburgh College of Art. Through a shared love of Sixties Garage Rock and the Spectoresque Girl Group glam of The Ronettes and The Shangri-Las, The Rezillos found themselves inadvertently caught up in the Punk or New Wave movement. Their debut single, “I Can’t Stand My Baby“, shot them to underground fame initially via airings on John Peel’s radio show. Their classic singles “My Baby Does Good Sculptures“, “Top of the Pops” and “Destination Venus” signalled critically acclaimed milestones for the band.Their landmark album of 1978 “Can’t Stand the Rezillos” reached the top 10 in the UK album chart.

The Undertones
Punk
Formed in Derry, Northern Ireland in 1975, The Undertones became renowned for combining lyrical invention and musical flair with intelligent simplicity. Their anthemic Teenage Kicks, much loved by John Peel, is one of the most influential songs of the post-punk era. On May 13, 1979 Seymour Stein's Sire records released the band's self-titled debut album 'The Undertones'. To mark the 40th anniversary of its release, The Undertones now present a glorious set of classic tracks taken from what is considered by many to be one of the best punk albums of all time (Family Entertainment, Male Model, Jump Boys, Here Comes The Summer, Jimmy Jimmy), adding to them a whole bucketful of their iconic guitar pop hits & anthems, Get Over You, My Perfect Cousin, You’ve Got My Number, Julie Ocean, Wednesday Week, and, of course, Teenage Kicks.

The Rezillos
Punk
The Rezillos formed in 1976 through a shared love of Sixties Garage Rock and the Spectoresque Girl Group glam of The Ronettes and The Shangri-Las. Their debut single, "I Can't Stand My Baby", shot them to underground fame initially via airings on BBC Radio 1 John Peel's radio show. Their classic singles "My Baby Does Good Sculptures", "Top of the Pops" and "Destination Venus" followed shortly afterwards.
Their landmark album of 1978 "Can't Stand the Rezillos" reached the top 10 in the UK album chart. They appeared twice on the legendary Old Grey Whistle Test and hit the Top Twenty with their hit single 'Top of the Pops'. The live recording, "Mission Accomplished... But the Beat Goes On", LP swiftly followed before the band promptly broke up to the anguish of fans and music critics alike.
The Rezillos reformed recently and toured the UK as special guests of The Stranglerspromoting their first album in 36 years, the critically acclaimed "Zero".
