40 years ago, a group of art students formed a band in Leeds. The band never split up but evolved over the years from art punk to alt-Americana and beyond with countless spin offs along the way. No less than 3 films have been made about them.
Through their many line-ups, the original 1977 line-up have reunited and are playing shows by popular demand!
Iconic journalist Lester Bangs called them "the most revolutionary group in the history of rock'n'roll" (and then he asked to borrow some money, says Andy).
