Doors 7:30pm.\n\nTickets www.eventbrite.co.uk\n\nWith 202 2 marking the U.K. Subs’ 45th anniversary\; this legendary punk band con tinues to represent the true spirit of punk rock. Inspired by the Damned a t the birth of British Punk\, the now equally legendary Charlie Harper for med the Subs out of his then R&\;B outfit The Marauders\, late in 1976. \n\nStarting out as The Subversives\, the name was shortened to The Subs a nd then changed to U.K. Subs\, whilst early line-ups merged their high-spe ed R&\;B sound into punk.\n\nOctober 1977 saw Charlie joined by Nicky G arratt on guitar\, and it was the Harper/Garratt song writing partnership that would go on to collaborate on the band's most successful record relea ses. Through 1977 and 1978 the band played shows all over London including the infamous Roxy punk club\, building up a fiercely loyal and sizeable f ollowing. Their first ‘recorded’ output was on the ‘Farewell To The Roxy’ LP.\n\nThis bought them to the attention of John Peel who was obvi ously impressed enough to offer to finance their first single. However\, C ity Records ended up releasing their first brilliant single\, C.I.D\, in S eptember 1978. It became a huge indie number 1 hit. In 1979\, they signed to Gem Records and surprised everyone by becoming one of the most consiste ntly and visibly successful punk bands\, with seven consecutive UK Top 30 hits between 1979-81 - Stranglehold\, Tomorrows Girls\, She's Not There\, Warhead\, Teenage\, Party In Paris and Keep On Running. They also scored t wo UK top ten albums - Brand New Age and Crash Course - establishing thems elves throughout the world with a heavy touring schedule that still contin ues to this day.\n\nLed by the indefatigable 77 years young Charlie Harper - now venerated as the godfather of UK punk - the band has continued to i mprove through various line-ups and record companies.\n\nStill touring wor ldwide\, they maintain that true spirit of punk rock continuing to inspire each subsequent generation of fans. There has never been any division of fan and band with the Subs\, and Charlie’s unrelenting love of his audie nce and music shines through. This is something that galvanized listeners of Steve Lamacq’s BBC 6music show to vote them as the most respected of Punk ‘icons’\, to win the 2010 Punk World Cup.\n\n2016 saw their eager ly awaited new album ‘Ziezo’ released via an extremely successful 'Ple dgeMusic' campaign\, leading to a crescendo of critical acclaim\, as they finally completed their quest to be the first band to release their offici al albums alphabetically A to Z!. The worldwide touring regime has continu ed apace - including the USA\, Europe and Japan as the band continue to en tertain and amaze with their powerful live shows.\n\nWith a new fabulous l ine up in place of Charlie\, Steve Straughan on guitar\, Alvin Gibbs on ba ss and Dave Humphries on drums\, the U.K. Subs continue to entertain\, enl ighten and enthuse with blistering recordings and enthralling live shows.\ n\nLike a vintage wine – the U.K. Subs just get better and better.\n\nww w.facebook.com/DeathorGloryPromotions\n\nwww.facebook.com/UKSubs/\n\n+ The Mistakes- www.facebook.com/themistakesuk\n\n[embedyt] https://www.youtube .com/watch?v=whETQTgIenE[/embedyt] ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.lewesconclub.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2022/11/UKSubs2022.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20221030T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
