<\/a><\/p>\nForgive the delay in transmission\u2026
\nThis broadcast relayed from Summer solstice 2013\u2026
\nThe seas of time were choppy, so we sought safe harbour from this temporal tempest in the fair haven known as Brixton. After some time sampling the local hostelries we ventured to the theatre known locally as \u2018The Fridge\u2019 now widely known as \u2018The Electric\u2019.<\/p>\n
As luck would have it we were not alone in seeking comfort here, a multitude was in attendance, all eager to sample the sonic delights of the troupe of wandering minstrels who go by the name of \u2018The Buzzcocks\u2019! And none were disappointed\u2026 <\/p>\n \nA brief warm up from the capable support act \u2018Apple Shift 7\u2019 set the right mood. Then a brief pause\u2026<\/p>\n \nAnd Boom\u2026 the main event\u2026 Kicking off with \u2018Boredom\u2019, \u2018Fast Cars\u2019 and \u2018Autonomy\u2019 the pace was relentless with a youthful energy that belied the years accumulated by these seasoned professionals. \nFront man Pete Shelley entertained all with his unique command of poppy angst-y punk. Female and male alike were under his spell (with a healthy portion of the audience representing the fairer sex).<\/p>\n \nSteve Diggle gave a performance of great magic and majesty, a sight to behold. He\u2019s a true rock star, delivering all of the requisite gestures and posturing with perfect execution while never missing a beat.<\/p>\n \nNot forgetting the new guys; Chris Remmington providing all the necessary nuances for the bass and Danny Farrant doing a bang up job on drums (Beating the kit to within an inch of existence during \u2018Pulse beat\u2019!).<\/p>\n \nThe only minor hiccup occurred during \u2018Fiction Romance\u2019, something went awry, the band simply stopped and restarted treating us to another superb rendition. \nIn a flash it was over, with Encores including \u2018Orgasm Addict\u2019 and \u2018Oh Shit\u2019, none were disappointed! Fellow space\/time traveller Spizz was also witnessed enjoying the hospitality of this temporal Oasis. \nSuper-duper!<\/p>\n The Buzzcocks \u2013 Brixton Electric 21st June 2013.

\nBarely stopping for breath, or pausing for applause, the hits kept on coming (in no particular order); \u2018I don\u2019t Mind\u2019, \u2018Ever Fallen in Love\u2019, \u2018Love Battery\u2019, \u2018Breakdown\u2019, \u2018Girl from the Chain Store\u2019\u2026.<\/p>\n
\nThis particular time traveller was anticipating that perfection would have been acheived upon hearing \u2018Everybody\u2019s Happy Nowadays\u2019\u2026 Alas it was not to be\u2026 But no matter\u2026 the performance, delivery and set list more than made up for this one omission.
\nIn fact, truth be told, the mighty rendition of \u2018Harmony in My Head\u2019 was worth the entry fee alone! Steve played out of his skin on this. He took us on an extended psychedelic meander mid-song before kicking back in to the main structure with real gusto.<\/p>\n
\nAfter the storm had died down, it was safe once more to file out into the remains of this longest day. We spied locals rejoicing the pagan festivities of the Summer Solstice, including a tree hugging Pigeon and a time travelling Flower present in different continents and time zones on the same day!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
