Formed in 1977 to promote Ian Dury's album New Boots and Panties on the first Stiff Records tour of the UK, Chaz Jankel, Norman Watt-Roy, Charlie Charles, John Turnbull and Micky Gallagher became known as The Blockheads.
As Ian Dury & The Blockheads they went back out on tour, and in 1978 released What a Waste, a single that reached #5 in the UK charts. They were then joined by saxophonist Davey Payne and toured the USA, supporting Lou Reed.
In 1979, Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick (#1 in the UK charts) and Reasons to Be Cheerful, Part 3 (#3 in the UK charts) were released along with the Do It Yourself LP.
Ian Dury & The Blockheads disbanded in 1982, only to reform in the early 1990s to perform at the Madstock festival in Finsbury Park, headlined by Madness.
