Punk off! Bradford's punk and new wave sounds

There were only 40 people in the audience, but given the number of people who claimed to exist, you would be allowed to think that it was like 40,000.

That fact was pointed out by Kevin Kennedy, the on-stage narrator of Punk Off! The sounds of punk and new waves, as outlined the explosive origins of punk rock and identified what was there first.

He described the raw, keyless, uncontrollable, unlikely architect as “a thorny rebel crying out in the world.”

And they were. It's not as intense as the dim and far away in the 1970s, but some still do it.

The punk rock revolution therefore became nostalgia, with the angry anthem for the unhappy young people becoming applause of the crowd who clapped for wearing their 60s seat in the elegant concert hall.

A punk off, a musical history lesson similar to elements of a rocky horror show with Kennedy as a storyteller in a leather jacket, miss grit, grime and grunge of faraway days.

But it has Spade energy and inspirational hits from the all-star lineup of British bands, including Sex Pistols, Clash, Siam 69, Jam, Sussy, Banshee, Skid, Elvis Costello, Elvis Costello, The . Attractions, Blondie, Ian Dury and Brockhead, Strangler, Squirrel, The Pretender, Buzzcock.

Plus Plastic Bertrand, but he was French.

The music is thanks to a three-piece band with four dancers, two of whom are cleverly medleys (Siam 69) and a seamless seguf from Chrissie Hynde to Debbie Harry through an inspired selection from Lanelovich. I supported vocals and guitar.

There was a courageous song choice: “Oliver's Army” is played completely completely with *the * lyrics (if you know, you know…), and the line of “Gild John” is , it didn't change without ruining the humor of the song.

Kennedy, who appears to be channeling Alex Cox, joined the band for the belt finale, where the crowd rose to applause and cheers. Suddenly, the year escaped, and it ended again in 1977.

Punk rock was a reflection of the moment. In fact, it ended in two years. Almost 50 years later, these nar-roaming rebel heroes became cultural icons.

And who was thinking about it?

Punk off! I tour the UK from February to March.
