Buzzcocks / Titus Andronicus @ Webster Hall 9/6/2014

As they hit the stage opening with “Boredom” and then, “Fast Cars,” Buzzcocks seemed to have not lost their touch. Just pure adrenaline and excitement charging them on stage and the audience loved every second of it. The band, who are on tour in support of their new album, The Way, which has not been released in the U.S. yet, even guitarist Steve Diggle joked about it saying, “Here is a new song that you can’t buy!” before going into “Keep On Believing.” With a handful of new tracks played through the night, the latest songs sound as if they were kept in an archive from the bands heyday and seem to have not lost their touch, the same was true to their performance. – [HuffPo]

UK punk legends Buzzcocks hit NYC on Saturday (9/6) at Webster Hall as part of their current North American tour around Riot Fests. The band has a new import-only album out this year (The Way), but this show was mainly a cavalcade of hits, from opener “Boredom” through the encore of “Harmony in My Head,” “Ever Fallen in Love” and “Orgasm Addict.” A bearded Pete Shelley and the always smiling Steve Diggle (looking remarkably like he did in 1979) seem like they’re still having a blast. Pics, setlist and full video of their Webster Hall set are in this post.

The night was well matched with NJ’s Titus Andronicus, making for two generations of punk rock. The band blasted through a brief, 30-minute set with almost no time for banter. Pics and video from their set, and more from Buzzcocks, below…
