X Ray Spex Live at The Roundhouse 2008

Seminal punk band X-Ray Spex release a special live CD/DVD recorded at last year's sell out concert at The Roundhouse through new Future Noise Music imprint Year Zero.

In X-Ray Spex first live outing since 1979, this performance of their classic album Germ Free Adolescents saw Poly Styrene and bassist Paul Dean joined by friends Sid Truelove, Gt. Saxby and Flash at London's Roundhouse on 6th September 2008 in front of 3,000 raucous fans.

In 1976 X-Ray Spex were formed by Poly Styrene placing an ad in NME and Melody Maker for Young Punx Who Want To Stick It Together. For a generation sifting through the wreckage left by punk rock, X-Ray Spex truly turned our world dayglo. The combination of tough, razor sharp riffs, kooky sax lines and Poly Styrene's wonderful voice and genius lyrics tearing into plastic consumerist society were perfect. Their 1978/79 stay was all too brief - a handful of memorable hit singles and a hit album but their influence lives on for decades mainly because of Poly's iconic presence and re-writing of the rule book.

X-Ray Spex transcended punk, influencing a whole new scene of indie kids and post- Riot Grrrl rockers like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Gossip. The band's innate genius and brilliant song writing makes them as relevant now as they were then and they are the rarest of things, a group that has never dated.
