The Rezillos

The Rezillos play The Old Woollen on Saturday 31 October, with the show starting at 20:00. It's a punk/new wave night in Farsley, presented by AGMP Concerts.

If the name doesn't ring a bell, the band started in Edinburgh in 1976. Their debut single, 'I Can't Stand My Baby', brought them underground fame after it got airplay on John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show. From there came a run of singles that became critical milestones: 'My Baby Does Good Sculptures', 'Top of the Pops' and 'Destination Venus'. They recorded their landmark album, Can't Stand the Rezillos, at New York's Power Station studio and even played a gig at CBGB's, the hub of punk rock. The record reached the top 10 of the UK album chart and is still held up as a punk classic.

These days they tour with a reformed line-up, and this Leeds date is one of those stops. The venue is The Old Woollen, part of Sunny Bank Mills at 83-85 Town Street, Farsley, LS28 5UJ. Tickets start from £31.30, and the music kicks off at 20:00.
