I might be interviewing these guys on Saturday, I'm really excited about that!

Saw these guys in Louisville at Mercury Ballroom. About 300 there for a great show. Had 2 other bands before them, Vice Tricks & Bleached (check out Bleached. Nice pop/rock band).

Turns out it was Captain Sensible's birthday & thus he was in rare form. I'm not that up on their songs, but crowd sure loved them. They did finish up with 'Smash It Up'.

The crowd was very eclectically dressed & some of them were looking 'steam punk'. They were fans of Dave Vanian, who came out dressed like he was going to Oscar Wilde's funeral.

Definite Hall candidates.

i think the damned might have a higher chance than other punk, new wave, goth, and alternative bands, and definitely more than theyre given credit for. being the first uk punk band to release a single, followed by the first uk punk album, their importance is pretty much set in stone. whats really important tho is their transformation, from bashed out punk mania to more playful new wave stuuf, and into a full on goth band by strawberries. vanian is an icon of goth style on the same level as robert smith peter murphy and soiuxsie. all the core members are stunning muisicans and key here, they could fill a general alternative spot on a ballot, while also representing punk and goth fans. ive basically made a nom com pitch right now but cmon these guys are essential for induction

I agree with "Mike". What do 'The Damned' want with this nonsense?

New album out in April. I'm very interested to hear what it sounds like!

Innovative and unique. Get 'em in there - they're far too underrated!
