The Rezillos burst forth upon the rock scene through a shared love of�60s Garage Rock and Spectoresque Girl Groups The Ronettes and The Shangri Las. Initially finding themselves caught up in the Punk�/ New Wave movement, if only because they didn't prescribe to�15 minute slabs of tedious progressive rock, The Rezillos became known for their three minute sparkling pop gems which would eventually be fully realised in their inimitable sound and vision.
Debut single 'I Can't Stand My Baby' shot them to underground fame following numerous airings on John Peel's radio show. Their classic singles 'My Baby Does Good Sculptures', 'Destination Venus' and Top 20 hit 'Top Of The Pops' signalled critically acclaimed milestones for the band. And, sure enough, landmark album 'Can't Stand The Rezillos' reached the UK Top 10,�earning the band two appearences�on the legendary Old Grey Whistle Test.
Although live album 'Mission Accomplished' proved to be the band's swansong, demand for a live return was huge, and the band found a whole new audience when classic track 'Someone's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In Tonight' featured on the soundtrack to 'Jackass: The Movie'. The Rezillos hit the road again in the 2000s, playing to ecstatic crowds in shows that have re-established them as one of the most exciting bands on the scene, with a verve and energy that puts many younger bands to shame.
Not content to rest on their laurels, the band released 3 brand new singles in 2013, and rounded off the year playing to huge crowds at Edinburgh Hogmany. 2014 sees the band promoting brand new studio album, "CAUTION- DISTORTION". Their aim? To 'Rock their market share of the Planet'.
With support from Margaret Thatcher bothering Notsensibles and local punks 'Bug', this is shaping up to be a knockout show. So why not kick off your Easter weekend with some of the best, and most vibrant,�pop-punk in town?!
