Buzzcocks Tour

In January 2009 Buzzcocks announced the ‘Another… Bites’ tour performing both their classic albums Another Music In A Different Kitchen and Love Bites in their entirety and selling out an entire UK tour.

That tour now moves to Australia. Original Buzzcocks, Pete Shelley & Steve Diggle will be joined by bassist Chris Remington and drummer Danny Farrant. The setlist will combine those two albums and other key tracks from the band.

In March 1978 the Buzzcocks released their debut album Another Music in a Different Kitchen and, in the process, created the template for pop-punk and a thousand imitators everywhere. Six months later, Buzzcocks released Love Bites the more progressive but equally infectious follow-up that reached #13 on the UK charts.

Between them the two albums contained some of the genuine classics of the punk-era including Orgasm Addict, What Do I Get, I Don’t Mind, Fast Cars, Get On Your Own, Sixteen Again, Moving Away From the Pulsebeat and the crossover anthem Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldnt’ve).

Emerging at the height of the punk era the band blended a range of influences – from Iggy & The Stooges to The Who, Small Faces, Mott the Hoople ­ which helped them to forge a sound that turned out to be more “pop” than punk.
