The Damned + Penetration. Leeds Academy. 17.11.16.

Massive thanks to fellow Buzzcocks fan AJ Phink who kindly sorted me a photo pass for this gig. He's a huge Damned fan. I'm not so much. They were brilliant back in the day but I really couldn't be bothered with the goth/cartoon/pantomime band they turned into. I didn't bother going to see them for years and years unless they were on with another band I really liked. Then I saw them at The Great British Alternative Music Festival in 2015 and they were back on form. Tonight though the highlight for me are Penetration.
