Brighton and Hove News »The precursors of the psychobilly scene book Brighton gig
[ad_1]
Madness alert, madness alert! The mad are go, are set to tear up Prince Albert in Brighton on Friday 7th February – beware you have been warned!
What about Demented Are Go that hasn’t already been said or invented? Formed in 1982, they are a group that inflicted their twisted version of rock’n’roll on the world for 3 decades, from the legendary Klub Foot to clubs, squats and festivals around the world. They’ve built a loyal following of Psychobillies, Punks, Goths, Geeks, and Freaks, who just can’t get enough of the DAG sound. Always a live not to be missed, their catalog of releases over the years is proof that the group is always evolving and is never limited to a single scene. The reason for the longevity and popularity of the group is due to one man, Sparky. A riot of a man who sold his soul for Rock’n’Roll!
Uncompromising, unpredictable with a voice that sounds like he’s been gargling hot gravel, he’s instantly recognizable as one of rock’n’roll’s true leaders. How he kept the group going for 30 years is inexplicable.
The Brighton & Hove News covered their previous gig in Sussex when they appeared at the Con Club in Lewes, our reviewer Andrew Easton observedâ¦âThe group appeared on stage, looking like characters from a horror movie – fake blood, big hair and tattoos being the main theme. Another day, it would be hard to have to follow King Kurt on the band list – but not for this lot! Their stage presence is something to see and they can definitely grab the attention of an audience!
