THE DAMNED RELEASE “GRIMLY FIENDISH” FROM UPCOMING ALBUM A NIGHT OF A THOUSAND VAMPIRES
earMUSIC
“Grimly Fiendish” live from A Night Of A Thousand Vampires is a rousing romp through one of The Damned’s highest-charting and best-loved singles.
The single and video capture an electrifying theatrical moment with The Damned at centre stage. On October 28th, 2019, The Damned swooped into London’s prestigious Palladium Theater for a very special immersive musical and theatrical experience. It’s further proof that 45 years into their storied career, The Damned continue to surprise and reinvent themselves with every performance.
The long awaited live album A Night Of A Thousand Vampires teams the UK’s first punk band with The Hammer House of Horror and the cast of The Circus of Horrors. With band and audience in full vampire attire, David Vanian transforms from Dracula into Nosferatu, ‘Neat Neat Neat’ morphs into ‘Bela Lugosi’s Dead’, and fire-eaters and trapeze artists dazzle alongside a set that includes classics such as ‘Wait For the Blackout’ and rare performances of appropriate covers like ‘People Are Strange’ and ‘Eloise’.
A night to remember for those of us amongst the living… and the undead!
