On Friday (Oct. 16), punk legends got here collectively to have a good time fifty years of girls in punk, particularly paying homage to the late icon Poly Styrene of X-Ray Spex, at Electrical Brixton in London. The she-punk supergroup included Lora Logic (X-Ray Spex/Important Logic), Paul Dean (X-Ray Spex), Gina Birch (The Raincoats), Hollie Prepare dinner (The Slits) and Akiko Matsuura (Comanechi / Pre). They had been joined by different acts, together with Large Joanie, Important Logic, Gina Birch & The Unreasonables and HotWax.
The night time featured renditions of vital punk anthems like “Oh Bondage Up Yours!” and “The Day The World Turned Dayglo” from X-Ray Spex’s seminal 1978 album Germfree Adolescents and the Slits’ “Typical Ladies” and their cowl of “Heard It By means of The Grapevine” from their influential 1979 album Minimize.
Take a look at clips under.
