Info
TV Smith & The Bored Teenagers is the electric live version of punk legend TV Smith's work, featuring his classic Adverts and solo material with a tight band.
TV Smith was founder member, singer and songwriter for the Adverts, who formed in late 1976 and were one of the leading bands in the first wave of British punk rock.
In early 1977, they performed regularly at the newly opened Roxy Club in London and gained cult success with the Stiff Records single One Chord Wonders. Their next release, Gary Gilmore's Eyes, became a hit record, leading to radio and TV appearances and extensive media interest. A further single, No Time To Be 21, also entered the charts, and the band spent the rest of the year playing live, including major tours with The Damned and Iggy Pop.
The album that followed in early 1978, Crossing the Red Sea with the Adverts, is still considered a genuine classic of the era and is often cited as one of the twenty best punk albums ever released. The Adverts released one more album, Cast Of Thousands, before they split in 1979. The album was later re-released and described by Mojo magazine as the long lost punk album that rivals The Clash’s London Calling.
This is a rare occasion to see TV Smith & The Bored Teenagers perform these songs with a full live band at The Cluny in Newcastle upon Tyne on 2 July 2027.
