King Kurt celebrate 40 years since their debut album 'Big Cock' with a psychobilly show at The Face Bar, supported by The Surfin' Lungs.
King Kurt are playing The Face Bar on Friday 20 November, with The Surfin' Lungs opening. The night is presented by Future Transmissions in association with Good Wrecking Tonight.
It's a specific occasion: the show is titled 40 Years of Big Cock, marking four decades since the British psychobilly band released their debut album, Big Cock. The record has since found its way across the globe, and the anniversary year is being marked with a 'second coming' reissue, expanded with bonus tracks and set to come out on vinyl in the new year. The set should lean on that early material, so it's a good night if you've got the original on your shelf or if you're just getting into them now.
King Kurt have built their name on psychobilly — that high-energy collision of rockabilly and punk — and they've kept it going for forty years. The Surfin' Lungs take the first slot, so there's a full night of it rather than just the headliner. The venue is The Face Bar on Ambrose Place in Reading (RG1 7JE), and they've let us know that under-16s need to be accompanied by an adult.
