The Damned Live At The 100 Club

Recorded during The Damned’s very first live performance at London’s legendary 100 Club on 6 July 1976, supporting the Sex Pistols, this historic set captures the raw energy of punk at its explosive beginnings. The recording was made on a Sony cassette recorder, tucked away in a sports bag, onto a Scotch 120 tape, lo-fi, immediate, and unfiltered. From the first chord to the last shouted chorus, the band tears through a killer set of ferocious, fast, and unpolished punk rock, brimming with the reckless attitude and electricity that would define the era. Every track crackles with the excitement of a scene on the verge of exploding, making this more than a live show, it’s a time capsule of the birth of British punk.
