One of the classic first generation punk bands from my lovely home town of Bristol,
The Stingrays, are in Japan from today (November 5th). The Stingrays were one of the key bands on
Heartbeat Records'
Avon Calling compilation, which remains to this day the classic document of Bristol punk and new wave, as well as being a notable local band in their own right through their association with
Fried Egg Records.
Call And Response, along with the brilliant Hide from
Ultra Bide and Kevin from
Big Jugs Experience, has been helping book their current Japan tour, so please come along to any of these shows that you have a chance to.
