About this concert
Legendary punk-pop tunesmiths The Undertones emerged from Derry, Northern Ireland in 1974, and learned their trade by listening to mail order records and reading one of the few copies of NME that made it to Derry. Practicing in their bedrooms eventually led to them recording and releasing “Teenage Kicks” in 1978.
Press fast forward The Undertones present a glorious set of classic tracks taken from what are considered by many fans and critics to be some of the best punk albums of all time.
The Ruts DC were formed in 1981 by the rhythm section and guitarist of The Ruts. The Ruts had had three whirlwind years of success and much critical acclaim – excellent releases included the singles “Babylons Burning” ,”Jah War”,” Something That I Said” and “Staring At The Rude Boys” and the albums “The Crack”, “Grin And Bear It” and “Animal Now’.

The Undertones Biography
The Undertones are an Northern Irish rock band formed in Londonderry, Northern Ireland in 1975. The original band consisted of:
* Feargal Sharkey (lead vocals),
* John O'Neill (guitar),
* Damian O'Neill (guitar, keyboards and vocals),
* Michael Bradley (bass and vocals), and
* Billy Doherty (drums).
* Paul McLoone (vocals since 1999)
John O'Neill was the original main song writer, with his brother Damian and Mickey Bradley writing in various solo & combined variations for most of the remainder.
Sharkey's power pop tenor was distinctive, and the band regarded a tight ensemble. By 1977 they were performing their own three-chord pop punk material influenced by Nuggets-type material and Ramones, and in 1978 released their debut four-song EP Teenage Kicks on Good Vibrations. It became a hit with support from DJ John Peel, who considered that EP's title song (Teenage Kicks) his all-time favourite. The song has been covered by many including boyband Busted (at the 2003 Brit Awards), American group The Raconteurs, Swedish band [aritst]Sahara Hotnights and French band Nouvelle Vague.
The original band released four studio albums:
* The Undertones (1979)
* Hypnotised (1980)
* Positive Touch (1981)
* The Sin of Pride (1983).
Falling sales linked to their changing musical direction and tensions within the band, leading to their split in 1983. A compilation album titled All Wrapped Up featured a woman dressed in lunch meats wrapped in clear plastic on the (non band approved) cover. Several other compilations including the superb BBC sessions CD Listening in (named after a song on their first album) (2004) exist.
The O'Neill brothers went on to form That Petrol Emotion. The band reconvened in 1999 to play shows in their hometown of Londonderry, replacing singer Feargal Sharkey with a similarly warbling new recruit, Paul McLoone. Being back in the swing, the band released an album of original material with McLoone in 2003 titled Get What You Need.
NOTE: There is another band with this name - The Undertones, a subset of the University of Notre Dame Glee Club who sing a capella arrangements of popular songs. For more information on these guys, check out www.nd.edu/~utones.
