Sham 69 Uk - 08.12.2014 - Chelsea Musicplace

Szene1.at 27.08.2014 16:38 VVK: 15,-/AK: 17,- Vorverkaufskarten erhältlich bei wienXtra-jugendinfo SHAM 69 formed in 1975, and its original founding member and guitarist Neil Harris still remains today. With hits such as BORSTAL BREAKOUT and HEY LITTLE RICH BOY being performed in 76-77, the band went on to have others such as HURRY UP HARRY, ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES, HERSHAM BOYS and the anthem IF THE KIDS ARE UNITED. The band has had many line up changes but the most notable was Jimmy Pursey’s departure following by his sacking by Dave Parsons and Ian Whitewood in 2006, in which he was replaced by the vocalist Tim V who still remains today. Tim V’s reign saw him take the band from its lowest point to get it touring worldwide with 3 successful selling albums along with World Tours and major festivals…and has clocked up more shows than any other previous line up. The band currently features along with Tim and Neil SHAM 69′s longest serving drummer at 27 years behind the kit. Ian Whitewood. On Bass guitar for the last 4 years for SHAM 69 we have Al Campbell, Al who has a pristine pedigree in Punk after serving 13 years with the UK SUBS and also playing guitar with both MARKY RAMONE and JAYNE COUNTY AND THE ELECTRIC CHAIRS. Last but not least the band decided upon returning to SHAM 69′s original format of 2 guitarist’s and so on Lead guitar we have Tony Feedback. Tony is most noted for leading the Mod revival with his band LONG TALL SHORTY and his string skills saw him join the ANGELIC UPSTARTS during their most successful period. So this is SHAM 69 now and though many have scoffed at their existence they have come to regret it having been overwhelmed by the power of the performance. www.sham69.com Dj RAINER KRISPEL / TRACKED UP!
