Hello dear visitor,

I'll be away from the computer for a few months owing to the fact that I'm about to join my esteemed colleagues in the Damned on our 35th Anniversary World Tour.

For this great (and unexpected) occasion we are going to celebrate by playing the 2 albums that helped kick start their respective genres.... Damned Damned Damned for punk rock and The Black Album for the goth scene.

Every track will be performed sounding as close to the original as possible without the aid of any studio trickery and overdubs, which in 17 minute epic Curtain Calls case will be no mean feat. Rehearsals have been tough but fun, the band are playing great and are pretty excited about these gigs - I hope you'll join us at one if you can.

You can follow my updates during the tour on Twitter via @sensiblecaptain or live on the front of www.officialdamned.com

cheers - Captain Sensible
