Hello folks!
Well what a week it's been!
Amyl & The Sniffers rocked up London and are now in the States for their tour with King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard. We have copies of their limited edition vinyl left but it's selling fast!
Plenty happening on this side of the pond though - Thee Dagger Debs begin their UK tour in Manchester on Monday.
The Galileo 7 play a couple of shows this weekend too!
And don't forget tickets for our 30th Anniversary show at KOKO are still available. Don't leave it too late to buy! We'd hate for you to miss out.
Billy Childish can be heard in session and interview on Radio Two this coming Monday. He's in as special guest of Jools Holland. The programme airs at 9pm UK time. Do listen in or check the i-Player at a time that suits. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b3fr0x

Thee Dagger Debs - LP/Digi (June 22nd)
PUB ROCK POWER TRIO! DEBUT LP!
Thee Dagger Debs are three girls – brought together by their love of ’60s garage, British R’n’B and ’70s proto punk and pub rock; Chiswick records, The Stranglers, Dr Feelgood and Nine Below Zero always feature heavily on their playlists. Since 2011 Laura and Letty have played together in The Neasden Bees and Thee Jezebels, and since the autumn of 2016 joining forces with drummer Paula, developed their ultimate line-up in Thee Dagger Debs, a pub-rock power trio.
The girls have played with bands such as Johnny Moped and Giuda, and have built up a following both in the UK and across Europe, renowned for their sweaty, high-energy rock ‘n’ roll gigs, followed by happily propping up the bar and dancing ‘til dawn.

The Galileo 7 - Tear Your Minds Wide Open! (LP + CD insert)
Medway garage-psych at its finest!
Prior perception is a right nause, especially when it comes to The Galileo 7. This Kentish quartet have now been kicking out keen psych-pop nuggets since 2010, over the course of four albums and several 45s, but vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Allan Crockford's illustrious past and parallel present, as bassist with a roll call of the greatest British bands of the past 30+ years – The Prisoners, The James Taylor Quartet, The Prime Movers, The Solarflares, Graham Day & The Forefathers – seems to have, weirdly, done 'em no favours. And in an age when peeps of a certain age are going goo-goo googly-eyed over the XTC back catalogue, rediscovering all manner of 60s psych-pop and garage treats, and lionising such moderne combos as Thee Oh Sees and Tame Impala, that the Galileo 7 haven’t reaped comparable plaudits seems just plain stoopid...

Celebrating 30 years of Damaged Goods Records we proudly present an evening of punk and garage not to be missed!
Sharing a stage for one night only we have three great bands.
Medway garage pioneer Billy Childish will be making a very rare live appearance with his current band CTMF. This show will be one of only two gigs the band will play this year. (Their other show is the previous weekend at The End Of The Road Festival.)
Johnny Moped were part of the original '77 wave of punk bands, regularly on the bill at The Roxy Club and still make a fantastic noise. They'll be playing tracks from Cycledelic and It's A Real Cool Baby.
Also on the line-up we have one of Damaged Goods' latest signings The Shadracks. Medway garage upstarts! Their eponymous debut LP is set for release this summer. Get down the front early!
If you need to brush up on CTMF or Johnny Moped check out their releases on our online shop.
Have a great Bank Holiday Weekend!
