About this Event

For those that know Penetration please form an orderly queue for tickets, but for those that don't …One of the best of the first wave of punk bands Penetration, named after a Stooges tune, formed ‘76 in County Durham and very first single ‘Don't Dictate’ became an instant classic appearing on many a colour by numbers "Best of Punk" compilation as one of the best choice cuts of the day. Similarly, debut album ‘Moving Targets’ features heavily on ‘Best Of’ lists even today.Supports with The Stranglers, Generation X, The Vibrators and Buzzocks as well as an appearance during that first 100 days at legendary punk haunt The Roxy cemented their reputation as one of the most exciting acts of the period - and decidedly more of a ‘rock’ proposition than many of the three-chord trainee anarchists on the scene at the time.The Penetration of 2014 is as strong as ever, and still fronted by Patti Smith-influenced Pauline Murray, who has lost none of her style and venomous delivery as can be heard in recent singles "The Feeling" and "Our World"
