Live show by The Spitfires, the Watford band mixing mod, punk, ska and indie, at The Horn on Victoria Street.
The Spitfires play The Horn on Saturday 21 November, with the set running from 20:00 to 23:00. They're a Watford band fronted by songwriter Billy Sullivan, and the sound they've built pulls from mod, punk, ska and indie, all held together by socially observant songwriting. It's a broad mix, and that's where the mod and ska influences come in—they're the parts that give the songs their swing and their energy, while the punk side keeps things direct.
They've spent years playing their way across the UK and Europe, and the records they've put out along the way—Response, Year Zero and Life Worth Living—are where you'll find the songs they've been touring. More recently, they've entered what they call their MKII era, which brought a refreshed line-up while keeping the same direct melodies and urgency that marked the earlier work. So, if you're coming in fresh, you'll be hearing the band as they are now, playing from a catalogue that goes back a fair way.
