Musicians: how to (and how not to) age with dignity
Fans of the Buzzcocks, punk-new wave legends and the group behind the album which inspired the name of this blog, will be happy to hear that they kick off a North American tour tonight in Chicago. The group is touring in support of its self-titled Merge Records album and new single, "Sick City Sometimes" in stores next Monday via Damaged Goods. (Source: Billboard) Old bands who reform and head back out on the cash-in/nostalgia circuit can often be terrible, but trust me on this, I saw them 5 years ago at Irving Plaza in New York with Pete Shelley fronting a semi-original line-up and they were fantastic. If you missed the Buzzcocks during their late seventies heyday, do yourself a favor and don't miss this 'cos it should be worth it.
