THE DAMNED & THE BOYS & 999

Hi there!

 

Whoah, this just came in. On the 29th october The Damned are playing in Düsseldorf together with another two Brittish punk rock legends: The Boys and 999!

 

That's absolutely fantastic, I love all three of them and never ever saw The Boys or 999 playing live before :o

 

In case you've never heard of them, here's two great songs from them:

Needless to introduce the Damned I hope, but if you need prove that they're still the best live-act on this planet, here you go:

Greetings,

Cool.

 

Not familiar with The Boys at all. Only thing I know about 999 is that song, it's one of my favorites from an 80s collection CD I picked up years ago.

I just checked. The days before I was MWC (when I could still afford buying a dozen CDs each month ;)) I bought two 999 CDs: A compilation of their first two albums called "The Early Stuff" (Appropriate, eh? ;)) and one from the 90s, "You Us It". They're both pretty good in my ears, even when not as well known and catchy as other first wave Brit-Punk :thumbsdown:

 

Düsseldorf? :)

 

The zakk is not too far from the central station ;)

(AFAIR we took a cab to get there the first time, but once we figured it's only 5 minutes away we walked the way back :thumbsdown:)

So you're from Brazil? Wow! :D

Which is just around the corner of my flat. ;)

 

Cool, I could eventually stop by and say hello then. Your home isn't per chance big enough to host 2-3 people for a night? :lust: ;)

 

I'm still in the beginning stages of organizing the trip, so I've no clue yet who's going and how long we stay in Düsseldorf. (My wife already said no since she's working that friday and hosting a Helloween party on sunday.)

 

Would you like to go to the show as well? It should be pretty cool. Last time we even spotted members from Die Toten Hosen in the audience.

Yes I am. My city (Curitiba) have a good underground music scene. Psychobilly, in Brazil, you only will find here :lust:

Yes the fast part.

I like so much psycho, the best band from my city was Os Catalepticos (they quit in 2007) they made tours around europe, I thik they played in Germany too.

From europe a good psycho band is Cenobites (from Netherland) they played here years ago. :lust:

Oh, I need to check them out then. The only band from Brazil I know so far is Sepultura I think ;)

I've heard the name before, but I don't think I know any songs from them. I'll check them out too.

 

I don't know too much about psychobilly. A former friend of my sister introduced me a bit into that music, so that's when I bought a CD from the Meteors. Later my wife somehow got into the band Nekromantix which is also a favorite in our house since. 2-3 years ago I accidently discovered a new band called Rezurex, which I also have both CDs of. They're the only psychobilly band I've ever seen live. They make some very catchy tunes:

1 or 2 would work if you don't expect much comfort. But I have to clean it first. Lazy me! ;)

No thanks, that's absolutely not my kind of music (written while listening to In the Air Tonight, Phil Collins and Synchronicity II, The Police). ;)

The Police is a good start already, some of their early stuff is pretty good rock music actually:

Well, Synchronicity is their last(!) album. :lust:

Oh-oh... the Italian leg of the tour has just been cancelled:

 

Unfortunately Dave Vanian is suffering from severe back pain which makes it currently impossible for him to travel or perform. Sadly this leaves The Damned with no alternative but to cancel the three imminent shows in Italy

 

Poor Dave :lust:

 

Right now the other dates still look good, so I'm hoping for the best:

 

Dave's situation is being monitored constantly and his doctor is confident that he will be back in action at Le Trabendo, Paris on 28th October.

Oh noes! The Damneds singer has been struck so hard that today the rest of the tour has been canceled as well :sad:The event is still happening with The Boys and 999 alone, but without The Damned to justify this 600km trip back and forth through Germany, still going there isn't really an option for me.
