I PiL arrivano in Italia per due date ad Ottobre: Sabato 10 al Rivolta di Marghera, Domenica 11 ai Magazzini Generali di Milano.
Public Image Ltd. (PiL) è una band post-punk fondata da John Lydon (Johnny Rotten, ex cantante dei Sex Pistols) nel 1978 a Londra.
Progetto realizzato assieme al chitarrista Keith Levene (con un breve passato come componente in The Clash) e al bassista Jah Wobble, la band si caratterizzò per un sound tribal, world, Post-punk/New wave del tutto inedito per i tempi, che consegnò l'opera del gruppo alla storia in maniera similare a quanto avvenuto per gruppi assolutamente unici eppure assolutamente influenti su di un numero di grandi esperienze musicali successive come Pop Group e Can.
Con una line-up cangiante e un suono unico John Lydon ha guidato la band dall’album di debutto “First Issue” nel 1978 fino all’album del 1992 ‘That What Is Not’. Dopo una pausa di 17 anni, Lydon ha riattivato i PiL nel 2009, portandoli di nuovo in tour per tutto il mondo. A settembre del 2015 annunciano l’uscita del loro decimo album in studio. Le 11 tracce dell’album seguono il grande successo di ‘This is PiL’ del 2012, il primo album della band dopo 17 anni.
I Public Image Ltd sono:
John Lydon – Dopo essere stato il front man dei Sex Pistols, John Lydon ha fondato i Public Image Ltd nel 1978. Oltre ai PiL John ha realizzato diversi dischi e collaborazioni. Ha portato anche una TV di qualità alle masse e ha recentemente pubblicato l’autobiografia ‘Anger is an Energy: My Life Uncensored’
Lu Edmonds – Polistrumentista ed ex chitarrista dei The Damned, Lu si è unito ai PiL nel 1986 registrando e suonando nell’album ‘Happy?’ e co-scrivendo l’album ‘9’ aggiungendo una nuova dimensione al suono dei PiL
Bruce Smith – Batterista e fondatore del The Pop Group dei componente delle The Slits Bruce è divenuto percussionista dei PiL nel 1986 registrando e suonando nell’album ‘Happy?’ e ‘9’. Visto come un virtuoso della batteria, Bruce ha portato il suo stile unico nella band.
Scott Firth – Bassista /polistrumentista ha collaborato e suonato con una multitudine di musicisti e gruppi di altissimo livello quali Steve Winwood, John Martyn e Elvis Costello.
Cabaret Voltaire, ‘Nag Nag Nag’, 1979. A student fave and still a fierce blast of post-punk electro energy. It came from Sheffield, which also produced Heaven 17 and The Human League. Early cheap synths had hit the market and kids in the rainy North spent time in bedrooms making their own sound, creating their own world on a budget.
This isn’t electro pop. It’s a darker beast that still pummels like Led Zeppelin. Turn it up, rip off the knob!

Killing Joke, ‘What’s THIS For…!, 1981. Rampaging wardance tunes but with an almost funky feel amongst the tribal drums, enormo-bass and slashing guitar chords. Guaranteed to clear a room. T’Joke were one of the angriest bands in the Thatcher-era, which was stacked with angry bands. Think Crass with better tunes. ‘Tension’ is the standout track for me. Pummelling.

Ken Scott, songwriter/frontman of Wasted Youth.

www.facebook.com/Wasted.Youth.1979/
The original Wasted Youth, one of the best bands to come out of post punk East London. Formed in the summer of 1979 at the Bridge House in Canning Town. The band rubbed shoulders with the likes of The Psychedelic Furs and The Only Ones, occupying the indie album charts before splitting up in December 1982 on the verge of signing to a major record label.
Alternative music website Louderthanwar.com described them as “arguably the greatest ‘lost’ London band of the post-punk years… heavily influenced by the dark narcotic glamour of the Velvets, the Doors and Transformer-era Lou Reed.”
After a gap of 40 years the band’s 3 surviving original members reformed for their now legendary gig at the Lexington, Islington in February 2022. Tickets sold out within hours of going on sale.
While the revival success may have been bouyed up by a wave of nostalgia from their original fans, the band are keen to move on.
To quote their social media feed the band say "Whilst paying respect to and having great love for the ‘old’ Wasted Youth, the ‘new’ Wasted Youth are not a nostalgia act, and are eager to prove that they have something new to offer, both visually and sonically."
Ken Scott was and probably remains the major creative force behind the band and since the original line up split has seen his life and career follow a remarkable trajectory. You can hear Ken tell his own story here. foxyradio.com/foxy-radio-112-foxy-radio-on-deal-radio-fea...
As a Bridge House regular I saw Wasted Youth many times there and at other venues across London. I got to know Ken briefly as our paths crossed after the band split.
Having missed out on the opportunity to see the reformed band at the Lexington, and the Royal Albert Hall in support of the Furs, I finally managed to catch them at “Powerhaus” Camden (aka Dingwalls). I’ve been pestering Ken ever since to let me take his portrait. He finally caved in and we met last Friday for a shoot after I reminded him that he still owed me a favour for helping him decorate his flat in Plaistow circa 1984!

Excellent Private Press single from the North of France, two New Wave/Post Punk tracks which had quite a lot of potential.
