Lumps at the Dublin Castle!

Ooops, late notice, particularly if you are not in London, but THOSE NAUGHTY LUMPS are playing live tonight Friday 5 November at The Mascara Bar, 72 Stamford Hill, London, N16 6XS. The bar opens at 19.30 and we're on sometime after 21.00. Bugger fireworks set off explosions and a paroxysm of delight in your ears!

Hi chums,

A couple of great gigs with two bands who have become our comrades in arms in the long fight to get punk rock accepted in modern society!

First up we are playing with DADDY THOSE MEN SCARE ME from 20.30 on Friday 2 August at their old favourite haunt at Maddens, High Road, East Finchley.

THOSE NAUGHTY LUMPS
Rock promoter Tony Gleed says: "They were far too good, far too much fun, to be considered hip and cool by the cognoscenti back in 1979, but that's all grist to our mill as their subtly comedic somewhat risque punk pop makes for a fabulous night out all these years later." And it's not just their minor cult hit 'Iggy Pop's Jacket'. Their new tunes highlight pressing concerns to the older punk such as new classic 'Heart Attack' and 'Contusing You'. Wonderful entertainment! The Lumps will be purveying their usual blend of melodic punk, angst, embarrassing sexual incompetence and of course rip-roaring pop tunes to engage both your feet and heart! We have fab new songs on the sexual liaison of one of our mums as celebrated in 'Geoffrey Boycott', our paranoia in 'Gonna Fly' and 'Bacon Archaeology' which is about bacon. How can you miss it?

DADDY THOSE MEN SCARE ME
An English arty-punk rock sensation, the fabulous Daddies are just perfect - an instrumentally ace band, with brillo funny songs, delivered deadpan by their wonderfully eccentric lead singer. Be there early to make sure you catch them - or you'll miss one of the best London bands around. Their 'Teenagers' is a punk rock pop classic!

Free entrance!

Then you can make a weekend of it because next day the Lumps and their pals The Benefit Cheats are playing live from 20.00 at the Five Bells, East End Road, East Finchley on Saturday 3 August.

THE BENEFIT CHEATS
Our guests will be the fabulous Benefit Cheats. A band packed full of characters that produce rip-roaring old fashioned punk songs. Great fun for all the family! They have had two wonderful albums and deserve your heartfelt admiration! Look for their fabulous ‘ought to to be a bloody hit’ singles 'Shit Gibbon' and 'Seven Times'. (Pete's favourite!)

Free Entrance and worth every penny.

Hi,

81 RENSHAW STREET, LIVERPOOL l1 4EN

We are super delighted to be returning to one of the best rock venues in Liverpool. Small, intimate and perfectly formed. The Lumps will be purveying their usual blend of melodic punk, angst, embarrassing sexual incompetence and of course rip-roaring pop tunes to engage both your feet and heart!

BIteback
Formed from the ashes of iconic Merseyside Bands, with thousands of live performances behind them, they produce a tight melodic but hard-hitting wall of sound. Their latest album "Retrohate" is an excellent sample of their live set. Check out the bands latest album here....link

THe Lumps!

Hi chums,

The Lumps

Those Naughty Lumps are delighted to be playing live with two of our all time favourite bands on 16 March 2019 at The Gunners, 204 Blackstock Road, London, N5 1EN. Price on the door a mere £5. Plenty of merchandise on sale though from all three bands!

8pm Daddy Those Men Scare Me
Down to earth and utterly English in their arty-punk rock approach, the deliriously good Daddies are better than ever - an ace band. Brilliant songs and a wonderful eccentric lead singer. Be there early and make sure you catch them or you'll miss one of the best London bands around.

9pm THREE FROM ABOVE are living legends from Liverpool. Hard edged rock with melodic choruses, think The Police, Bloc Party, Clash and Gang of Four. The band contain glorious musicianship, great songs and they are better looking by far than the Lumps! Not to be missed.

10pm THOSE NAUGHTY LUMPS were far too good, far too much fun, to be considered hip and cool by the cognoscenti back in 1979, but that's all grist to our mill as their subtly comedic somewhat risque punk pop makes for a fabulous night out all these years later. And it's not all their minor cult hit 'Iggy Pop's Jacket' New tunes highlight pressing concerns to the older punk such as new classics 'Heart Attack', 'Back Door Banging', 'Reincarnated' and 'Confusing You'. Wonderful entertainment!

Hope to see you there,

Pete and The Lumps

Hi chums,

Can't wait for this next London gig. We are playing with three of our all time favourite bands.

Those Naughty Lumps + Daddy Those Men Scare Me + The Benefit Cheats + Three From Above
LONDON: Dublin Castle
SAT 24TH FEB, 2018 7:45pm

There is no headline band here - every one of these bands is worth twice the price of admission on their own!

Our host Tony Gleed says:

Those Naughty Lumps- From Iggy Pop's Jacket back in the Zoo Records/Eric's days, the Lumps were the Scouse New Wave band too set on having fun to be worried about being as cool as Cope or as whack as Mac. OK they were never going to be Big In Japan, but they're mahoosive in our hearts. These recently reformed mature gentlemen of punk pop know a thing or two about showmanship, smutty fun and top tunes. Fronted by a WW1 historian and a cricketer, you really couldn't make this up. For fans of Deaf School, The Members, The Boys....

Daddy Those Men Scare Me- More prosaically down to earth and utterly English in their punk rock approach, the deliriously good Daddies have been honing their Stranglers/Members/Squeeze informed crafted indeed crafty punk pop round these 'ere parts for Buggerbear since oooooh 1994, wowsers. Better than ever too, ace band.

The Benefit Cheats- Anthemic punk with a decidedly Clash feel bags of energy and conviction, hooky tunes too.

Three From Above - 'the rawness of Japanese clangorous trio Guitar Wolf to the wonderful sounds of David Bowie's 'Hunky Dory', which is being played through on Jack White's very own heavily customised guitar amp'. ..this is 3FA's summary of their sound and it's bang on, clever, enduring and alluring rock and roll.

Tickets
£6.00 + £0.60 Booking fee = £6.60

Advance tickets are available. Please say which band you are mainly there to see. That makes sure that all the bands get their fair share.

Hope to see loads of you down at the Dublin Castle on Saturday!

Cheers,

Pete
