The Fallen Leaves

Event information

The Fallen Leaves – with a heritage going back to the 1976 dawn of UK Punk Rock (the original Subway Sect, natch, who played the 1976 100 Club Punk Rock Festival alongside Sex Pistols, The Damned, Siouxsie, Buzzcocks etc) and a sincerity of sound dedicated to the essentials of punk, garage and freakbeat (Minimum RnB natch), it’s always a great treat to welcome this band to the stage.

They really tear up the place each and every time, and in the suavest manner possible!…

“This valve amp, treble-to-the-max rave-up would have had the mid-’60s Who or Pretty Things bricking it backstage at the Embassy Club” Mark Paytress (Mojo)

“This sharp, angular, melodic garage-pop will doubtless appeal to the same authenticity-starved youngsters who have made Billy Childish their king”. – Stewart Lee.

Groovy Arts Club Band- original Subway Sect-er now Fallen Leaves guitarist Rob Symons shared many a stage with long time Vibrators powerhouse drummer Eddie needless to say, back in the, as they say, day…well they do again tonight as Eddie returns to our Sainted stage with Bugbear regulars The GACB…

Operating in a similarly sixties informed area to our headliners, with a nifty backbeat and allusions to Bowie and Bolan, the Doors and Hendrix… punk pop touches, and rollicking rock and roll assured. Groovy is as groovy does.

Damage UK – reborn punkers making a huge impact on the circuit, Brian Damage and his rocking wrecking crew take Clash like protest punk, and dark, rumbling post punk elements to finish where Brian’s other band Nuffin left off.

Now two albums in, the recently issued ‘Innocent Bystanders’ wowed the punk press with comparisons to all manner of great music from The Damned to The Cure. Arrive bang on 8 to make sure you get the Damage dun!

DJs We Got Killers finish proceedings off with dancefloor delirium til 2am…
