Pacing the floor at Punk’s birth in the Seventies, splitting up as it was overtaken by Ska and New Romantics in the Eighties, and re-forming due to European bootleg interest in their back catalogue in the Noughties, Glasgow’s socio-politico-proto punk band The Zips are keen to make up for lost time. With 2 new cd eps on their own Tenement Toons label, a download single for the Make Poverty History campaign on Oxfam’s bignoisemusic site, and tracks on numerous compilation cds, The Zips are no strangers to local radio airwaves. While a reputation for rip-roaring stage performances, has ensured that they are always in demand on Scotland’s live circuit, and appearances at punk’s Wasted Festival, The Wickerman, and unplugged at Celtic Connections only serve to illustrate their versatility.
4 guys, 3 chords, 2 minute buzzbombs, 1 helluva night guaranteed!
