Buzzcocks Tickets Continued
Buzzcocks were one of the key first generation punk rock
bands in the mid to late 1970s. Inspired by the Sex Pistols, the band
themselves were an important influence on both the Manchester music
scene and the independent label movement. Buzzcocks' trademark
sound was a marriage of catchy pop melodies with punk guitar energy,
with an unusually tight and skilled rhythm section.
Some of Buzzcocks' most well known singles include "Spiral
Scratch", "Ever Fallen in Love?", "Everybody's Happy Nowadays" and
"Harmony in My Head".
After recording demos for a fourth album, the group disbanded in
1981, when one of <>Buzzcocks' founders, Pete Shelley, took up a
solo career. The group has reformed several times since 1989,
featuring original bandmembers, Shelley and Steve Diggle, with other
musicians. In 1993, Tony Barber joined on bass and Phil Barker on
drums. This line up continued until April 2006, when Phil Barker left
and was replaced by Danny Farrant for their European tour.
In March 2006, Buzzcocks released their sixth studio album
entitled Flat-Pack Philosophy.
