Wilfrid Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 A belated mention of Brian James, founder member of The Damned, who died in March. The Damned and Sex Pistols were really the first two British punk bands with The Clash trailing slightly behind. I first saw The Damned in a relatively large venue, The Roundhouse, supporting The Troggs. My friends and I chatted with them in the bar afterwards, at least until one of my friends tried to push me into Sid Vicious who was standing nearby (not yet a Pistol but already notorious). I subsequently saw them many times in clubs. They were the first of that wave of bands to release an album, the first to release a single (both produced by Nick Lowe). The remastered video for the single captures the energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
