Irish Punk Legends The Radiators from Space are set to turn back the clock with a gig in Dublin’s Academy

One of the most exciting developments in Irish music lately has been the re-emergence of legendary Dublin punk pioneers THE RADIATORS FROM SPACE as a recording and performing force. This regrouping, reached a new peak with the release of the band’s Forth studio album "Sound City Beat". The 18-track / 54 minutes collection draws from the music of their Irish rock predecessors, artists like Eire Apparent, The Blue Aces, Thin Lizzy, Orange Machine, The Movement, Skid Row and Horslips to name but a few.
Sound city beat is produced by the band's two guitarists, Pete Holidai and Philip Chevron, who describe it as both "an Irish version of Lenny Kaye's Nuggets "and "a punk equivalent of David Bowie's Pin Ups".
“It is first of all a great record-but it is more than that. It is one of the most important historical works of our time” - Sunday Independent
In early 1977, the Radiators' debut 45 "Television Screen" was the first Top 20 punk single anywhere in the world and Bono cites the 45 as a vital moment of inspiration to the young U2. “Television Screen” was lauded by Rolling Stone magazine as the best of all the early punk singles.

Tickets priced €28.00 inclusive of booking fee are on sale June 15th from Ticketmaster outlets and online at www.ticketmaster.ie.

heard this gig is cancelled due to Phil Chevron recovery from illness -

the Rads were the first punk band I saw back in Morans '77 - and they were amazing , in a very different Dublin - they pushed boundaries and were simply electric alive - every bit as influential to me as a young angry teenager as the Clash or Pistols , always creative and pushing the boundaries, beyond 3 chords -

so get well Phil
