Scabies & James play ‘Damned Damned Damned’

Well, this is awfully confusing. Six months after Dave Vanian and Captain Sensible brought the official incarnation of The Damned to Tokyo, founder members Brian James (guitar) and Rat Scabies (drums) are hitting town to offer their own spin on the group's back catalogue. They'll be focussing on debut album Damned Damned Damned, which celebrates its 35th anniversary this year – and, not coincidentally, was almost entirely written by James himself. Support on the first night comes from Eddie Legend Story and Vibrate Two Fingers, while The Nagareboshi Zet do the honours on the second night.
