ABOUT THE DAMNED
Following their formation in 1976, The Damned became the first UK punk band to officially release a single, ‘New Rose’, and an album Damned Damned Damned. With 10 studio albums and several UK chart singles, the band are pioneers who emerged from the London punk scene, earning an ever-expanding fan base fuelled by legendary live shows. Their dark lyrics and Dave Vanian’s rich baritone vocals also catapulted The Damned to the forefront of the Goth-Rock Genre. The Damned of today defy any categorisation and the ease of which songs from all phases of their career fit together in this ground-breaking spectacle is absolute proof.
THE DAMNED line-up are:
Dave Vanian – Vocals
Captain Sensible – Guitar
Monty Oxymoron – Keyboards
Paul Gray – Bass
Will Glanville-Taylor – Drums
