About 4 months ago, I got an email from the Damned's drummer's girlfriend, a neo-burlesque dancer from San Diego, who also dances on stage with the Damned. She told me that all of the guys in the band, but especially she and her boyfriend, were big into Tiki and even had a copy of TRT on their tour bus.
This, of course, made my week, since I was a big fan of this band in my wasted youth.
She set me up with passes to the show - I was quite surprised to find that they still sound good after all these years (last time I saw them was in the 80s).
The drummer isn't Rat anymore, it's a new younger guy.
Remember the Young Ones episode with the Damned singing "Nasty" - good stuff! Also: best Dmaned song ever (as opposed to best damned song ever) is one they didn't even write: "Alone Again Or...".
Oh yeah, and New Rose. And Neat Neat Neat. And Nasty. And Generals. And...
The new drummer's name is Pinch. He slagged Rat pretty bad on FM949 in San Diego, saying that Rat's arms had fallen off due to "Saturday Night Palsey" during a 3 day bender, among other things.
Ya know, now that Rat's quit the band that means that every single member's quit at 1 time or another.
