This Saturday 7th May sees the return of the best live band in Britain.
Hard to believe it’s been over 2 years since The Fallen Leaves played at the Westgarth Social Club. If you’ve seen them before then you’ll know what to expect, if you haven’t then try to imagine a cross between the Who and the Ramones and you’ll be somewhere close.
WHAT DOES THE MANIFESTO SAY?
Simple Songs For Complex People.
Punk Rock For Gentlemen.
No Jeans. No t-shirts. No Cover-Versions.
The Fallen Leaves believe in the DIY Punk ethos.
Song, Sound and Performance are all.
Recordings are live, minimal overdubs.
As the self proclaimed champions of the glorious underachievers The Fallen Leaves ask you to remember … Simple and easy are not the same thing.
Doors are 7:30pm and tickets are here https://tinyurl.com/5y3fe9t5
Support comes from The Girl With The Replaceable Head (featuring ex Go-betweens drummer Lindy Morrison) and @The-Moron-o-Phonics.
Just over a fortnight until we’re back with a proper full on show in the Georgian Theatre and it’s great that our first normal show will be with Kirk Brandon‘s Theatre Of Hate, a band that have played many times for us at The Georgian Theatre, Stockton and they never dissappoint.
Early doors for this one now due to the addition of Simple Mind’s bassist Derek Forbes to the bill along side Sunderland punksters UK Dissent.
Stage times will be in the event page soon, tickets are available on line here https://tinyurl.com/yc2e66mm or pay a bit more on the door. What ever you do don’t miss out!

Wolfgang Flur was a member of Kraftwerk between 1973 to 1987. A period when they released classic albums such as Autobahn and Trans Europe express. He is the only surviving member of that classic Kraftwerk line-up who is currently making and releasing new music!
After leaving the band Wolfgang joined the band Yamo and has since progressed a solo career both as a DJ and a musician releasing several albums, most recently Eloquence: Complete Works in 2015.
In 2022 Wolfgang announced the release 3 collabaration albums, the first of which is to be released in March this year entitled ‘Magazine 1’ featuring some of the most famous names of synth-pop and electronic dance, past and present.
Featuring Midge Ure (Ultravox), Peter Hook (New Order) and Claudia Brücken (Propaganda), alongside the legendary Techno DJ’s Juan Atkins and Carl Cox and Electro-Pop titans U96, plus appearances by celebrated alternative electronic artists and composers Ramón Amezcua (AKA Bostich), MAPS and Anushka, adding just a frisson of deft contemporary nuance to the proceedings!
Wolfgang’s live shows are a mix of audio and visual representation which draw in the audience who become absorbed into his original music, mixing old and new into a maelstrom of sound.

The band have issued the following statement:
“We’re sorry to bring more bad news but after consultation with various promoters & our agent all February shows have been postponed. We can’t begin to explain how upsetting this decision was to make after the great feeling surrounding the shows in December. The new dates for England will be announced on Tuesday and the Scottish dates will be announced shortly after that. Of course all tickets are still valid. We hope everyone understands that this is primarily for the health and safety of the venue staff, the band and of course the fans. Stay safe everybody & we WILL see you soon.”
Almost a year to the day since their last visit The Space Agency return to Teesside for what’s sure to be another entertaining night of sonic other worldly instrumentals from the Brighton trio.
