The Damned

Posted on December 31, 2008 by finneganswakemusic

The Damned: “played their first gig on 6 July 1976, supporting the Sex Pistols at the 100 Club. They were the first of the London punk bands to release a single on the independent record label Stiff Records. That single, ‘New Rose’, was described by critic Ned Raggett as a “deathless anthem of nuclear-strength romantic angst”

That was then, and this is now, and  The Damned are still playing

  • Finnegan’s Wake Shows

    Finnegan's Wake Music is no longer participating in the Landis Arboretum Benefit scheduled for July 24th and 25th.

    Manipulated Prosperity, Sod Buster, The Blank, Sonorous Gale and Y69 did not take part in the benefit...

    Landis director, Bob Rubin and his daughter, took over the show so her band, Sufferdie, could headline on both days.

    July 25th Update: I was told by an eye-witness that yesterday's show was a fiasco -- totally FUBAR! About 30-people showed up, and couple of bands didn't. When the show finally started at 4:00PM people started leaving. The wine and beer vendor, who made a whole dollar, packed up and left at 6:00PM. The headline band, Sufferdie, played to the hand full of friends and family that hung in until the bitter end.

    July 28th Update: On site sources report that about 50-people turned up on Sunday.

    Sufferdie closed to an ever dwindling crowd.
