Finally, hot off the press......................to celebrate the band's 30th anniversary, founding Damned members Rat Scabies and Brian James will be performing the band's classic first album, Damned Damned Damned in its entirety at the 100 Club in London, England.
The album, often described as the first British punk rock album, and predating the Sex Pistols Never Mind the Bollocks by six months. Scabies and James will perform with Casey Chaos of Amen covering vocals. The current active Damned lineup, including founding members David Vanian and Captain Sensible, will not be part of this performance.
Drummer Rat Scabies had this to say about their choice of frontman:
"Brian and I were quite adamant to have Casey do this gig- there were no other names above his. Amen is the only band I've seen in the last 10 years who are truly punk rock. We dont know what will happen when Casey gets onstage with us- and thats the way we like it."
While Casey added:
"To share the stage with Rat And Brian on this night will be engraved into my epitaph as The Most Important Show Of My Life! -- "Damned Damned Damned" changed my life as well as musical history. I'm gonna treat this with the utmost respect for them and their fans. I want to do everything I can to do it justice and make Rat, Brian, Captain, Vanian, Algy and everyone else proud of what they have achieved and celebrate their contribution to punk rock and the legacy that they left . To say that I am humbled and honored is inappropriate. I am ready to slash my throat at the altar of The Damned in dedication to all the lives they changed. I am ready to destroy"
