TV Smith
This Saturday sees the return to these shores of TV Smith, co-founder of 70’s British punk legends The Adverts. The Adverts, who in their time shared stages with The Damned, The Jam and Generation X, were pioneers of a burgeoning late seventies British punk scene, and led the way with anthems like “Bored Teenagers,” a classic whose lyrics, “We’re just bored teenagers. Looking for love, or should I say emotional rages” still hits me like a thump in the chest. Love it.
Also on the bill are Dublin punk stalwarts Paranoid Visions, still going strong after close to twenty nine years, and and relative newcomers Liz Is Evil. While both TV Smith and Paranoid Visions will be playing their own sets, there are plans afoot for collaboration wherein the two acts collide and a concoction of The Adverts with a very definite Dublin twist will take the stage. Look forward to that one!
The gig takes place in O’Byrnes / Ruta (formerly the Four Seasons) on the junction of Capel Street and North King Streeton Saturday at 8. CC is €10. Might see yizzers there!
