They vibrate

The Vibrators must have been issued with long-life batteries when they were first issued in 1976 - barring a two-year hiatus at the start of the 1980s they've been playing live and knocking out albums for 30 years. The band has recently completed a CD of covers of Class of '77 first-wave punk hits (Punk - The Early Years on Cleopatra), and the veteran trio put on a hell of a show at The Dominion where audience both young and old showed up to mosh and sing along.

Knox has become particularly adept at wringing gnarled sounds from his guitar.





Eddie the Drummer.





Bassist Pete is from Finland and has his own band, No Direction.





Confederate flags and pirate wenches? Well, why not.



Vibrating action!



The big hit!







Ventilators bassman Joe sings a bit.



They finished things off with covers of Sheena Is A Punk Rocker and the Clash's White Riot. A killer show.
