The long-awaited live album and film from The Damned, A Night Of A Thousand Vampires, is out today on earMUSIC. The film premiered in London last night at FrightFest to a sold-out audience of punk and horror fans alike.
A night to remember for those of us amongst the living... and the undead! Listen A Night Of A Thousand Vampires here and watch the official trailer here.
Back on October 28th 2019, David Vanian, Captain Sensible, Paul Gray and Monty Oxymoron of The Damned took the stage at London’s prestigious Palladium Theatre for a very special immersive musical and theatrical experience - performing songs from The Damned’s 40-year rich catalogue.
A true event from showmen supreme, it was a historic night in the history of a storied band and a special evening for fans and band alike. It was also a fond farewell for drummer Pinch, his final gig with the band after 20 years.
A Night Of A Thousand Vampires teams the UK’s first punk band with The Hammer House of Horror and the cast of The Circus of Horrors. With the band and audience in full vampire attire, David Vanian transforms from Dracula into Nosferatu, 'Neat Neat Neat' morphs into 'Bela Lugosi’s Dead', and fire-eaters and trapeze artists dazzle to a set that includes classics such as 'Wait For the Blackout' and rare performances of appropriate covers like 'People Are Strange' and 'Eloise'.
This release comes ahead of the original Damned line-up tour with David Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies and Brian James. Starting tonight (28 Oct) with a sold-out show at London’s Eventim Apollo, they’ll play a second show there tomorrow on 29 Oct, before heading to Manchester (3 Nov), Glasgow (4 Nov) and Birmingham (5 Nov). Tickets on sale here.
