About

THE DAMNED IN CONCERT:

The Damned will go down in music history as the first British punk band to release a single, but most fans will remember them for the fury of their epic live shows. Adrenaline-fueled guitar solos and rapid-fire snare rolls are the order of the day wherever the group plays, and audiences always go crazy for their raw, unbridled sound. They balance their high-speed energy with gothic elements like eerie keyboard flourishes and Dave Vanian's dark vocals, and the result is a dynamic concert experience that stays true to their punk roots while also exploring more shoadowy territory. On tour The Damned tears through intense tunes like “Neat Neat Neat”, “New Rose”, and “Smash It Up” with savage intensity, treating ticket buyers to a high-octane punk rock spectacle that shakes them to their core.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Dave Vanian (vocals), Captain Sensible (guitar/bass), Rat Scabbies (drums), and Brian James (guitar) formed The Damned in 1976. That same year they beat all their punk contemporaries to the punch by releasing "New Rose", the first single of the British punk movement. They also released the first UK punk album, 1977's Damned Damned Damned, an instant classic that's as vital today as it was 30 years ago. Their early emergence on the scene and popularity allowed them to tour the US before any of their British peers, and they influenced numerous ‘80s hardcore bands in the process. The group added keyboards and began experimenting with tempo dynamics in the ‘80s -- two developments that proved pivotal to the goth movement. After being dormant in the ‘90s they reformed at the end of the decade and haven’t looked back since. The Damned are still going loud and  strong, bringing their signature sound to new generations of punk fans every time they tour.

  • Total garbage, white trash heavin

    by SmoothlyJoe on 2018-07-09Commodore Ballroom - VancouverRating: 1 out of 5

    The show was too dark and the people were too old to have a deviant mosh pit. The commodore ball room was nice

    Really great performance! Super fun show! Great energy

  • Technical Difficulties

    by Damned on 2018-07-08Commodore Ballroom - VancouverRating: 3 out of 5

    Was really looking forward to this show, but after Monty had a meltdown over his stupid computer failing and then swearing and hitting himself in the head things changed. The band was in the middle of playing Eloise when this happened and therefore stopped. Monty attempted to fix the problem while the band "jammed" like they were in their garage. The keyboards would work and then not. The planned setlist was not kept and they never did go back and replay Eloise.When things did work the band was great, but the computer problems had taken the show from 5 Stars to 3 Stars. Next time stop the show, fix the problem and then pick up where you left off. Stay a little later if you have to.

  • Damned - always good

    by Guava on 2018-07-08Commodore Ballroom - VancouverRating: 4 out of 5

    The Damned are back in Vancouver with Paul Gray their bass player from the 80's and a new album Evil Spirits. Produced by the the legendary Tony Visconti, it has the Damned continuing the path to greatness! On this night the lads bought out many of their old classics... in a rip roaring fashion of course! Monty had some keyboard trouble halfway through though they did their best to hold onto the proceedings...And as ever the band are animated and are in good humour! This crew are not ready for the grave yet...long may they reign!
