The Barracudas Live at The Lexington Sunday March 17th

Event information

The Barracudas return for a rare UK gig. The band were initially known for their Summer Fun hit and their Drop Out LP prior to becoming a leading mean and lean Rock 'n' Roll band with the addition of Chris Wilson (Flamin' Groovies) and their seminal Meantime LP released in 1983.

Featuring original members Jeremy Gluck and Robin Wills along with Chris Wilson, Rob Coyne and Yan Quellien, The Barracudas will be joined by original Drop Out bassist David Buckley for a special Drop Out era portion of the set.

The gig is also to celebrate the release of the new Barracudas single, which will be available for sale at the gig.

After a 7 year gap, The Barracudas return with a brand new single; their first new recordings since their 2005 self-titled album.

“God Bless The 45” will be released on the Purepop imprint in late January. “God Bless The 45” is a loving ode to the 7” single, so fittingly it will only be available in that format as a limited edition release. Fronted by original members Jeremy Gluck, Robin Wills with Chris Wilson (Ex Flamin’ Groovies) along with Rob Coyne and Yan Quellien, the new single was recorded and mixed onto tape using only analog gear at Cowshed Studios in London. This single is the culmination of a flurry of activity from the band, which has seen them play The Purple Weekend in Spain, Festival Beat in Italy along with dates in Japan. Following gigs in Germany in November, The Barracudas plan more live performances in the New Year to promote the new single.
