Theatre Of Hate Live @ The Suburbs

Its great to bring Kirk and the band back for a second time to our alternative corner of Guildford.In 1980, Kirk Brandon formed Theatre Of Hate from the ashes of heralded punk band The Pack. 

Joining Kirk on vocals were notable punk musicians Stan Stammers and Luke Rendall, along with old school friend, Steve Guthrie and Canadian born John “Boy” Lennard, who revolutionised the band’s sound with his haunting sax lines.

Theatre Of Hate’s debut double-A-side single, “Legion”/”Original Sin”, topped the independent chart in 1980, and “Westworld”, their debut album, produced by Mick Jones from The Clash and released in 1982, held the number one position for 21 weeks. The single taken from the album, “Do You Believe In The Westworld?” has become an anthem and is still widely played in clubs and on international radio, as well as featuring on numerous compilation albums.

2024 will see TOH release a completely re-recorded and re-worked version of their iconic 1982 'Westworld” album, many many live shows are planned across the globe

+ support from Aubrey Eels and The Baron - Something completely different and definitely alternative.
