Halloween night of punk and post-punk at The New Adelphi Club, headlined by Roman Jugg Band, with a best Halloween costume prize.
Roman Jugg Band are headlining the Halloween party at The New Adelphi Club on Saturday 31 October, with Parallel States, Buckfast Tramp and Sickcino filling out the bill. The night centres on Roman Jugg, of The Damned, and his band, who play through the commercially successful era of The Damned alongside loud punk from the other three acts. There are prizes for the best Halloween costume, so it's a night to turn up dressed up.
Jugg's history with The Damned goes back decades. He started in the Welsh punk band Victimize in the late 1970s, became a touring keyboardist for The Damned in late 1981, and a full member in 1982's Strawberries. When Captain Sensible left in 1984, he moved to guitar, appearing on Phantasmagoria (1985) and Anything (1986), and later formed The Phantom Chords with Dave Vanian and Bryn Merrick. That's the era his band will be working through here.
The support acts bring their own take on punk. Parallel States are a Nottinghamshire three-piece influenced by 90s and early 2000s acts like Green Day and Blink-182. Buckfast Tramp turn traditional folk songs into punk-esque nightmares. Sickcino are a fast-rising Hull post-punk and noise-rock band known for chaotic, high-energy live shows. Between them, they cover a fair bit of ground, from the pop-punk of the 90s to the folk-punk of Buckfast Tramp and the noise-rock of Sickcino.
