Sham69, Dragster, Maniac play the Corporation Big Room

Corporation - in the BIG room - Milton Street, Sheffield
SHAM 69
DRAGSTER | MANIAC
Saturday September 20th, £8 adv Doors 7pm
Legendary punk band SHAM 69 have just booked a rare UK date at Sheffield's
Corporation club. One of the most successful punk bands of the late 70's,
early 80's the band enjoyed chart success on numerous occasions as well as
several Top Of The Pops appearances. Gritty, abrasive and, above all,
honest, the band's musical style represents their working class roots. An
unfettered terrace howl, a guttersnipe chant and a post-pub knees up are all
ingredients in the Sham blend.
Having just had a seminal Peel Sessions album released, as well as a live
DVD this gig see's the reunion of guitarist Dave Parsons with charismatic
and outspoken (if unpredictable) frontman Jimmy Pursey - the bands original
(and best) songwriting team. After a few forays into a more 'experimental'
sound Sham 69 are back doing what they do best - raw, loud and
uncompromising punk rock. And who can say fairer than that?

Ben Myers, Kerrang!
- "They played like they just roll out of bed and do this sort of thing everyday ... their onstage sound
was just awesome"
