Legendary UK Punks The Members To Tour Aus In November

It has been 34 years since Australian fans got to see UK new wave, post punk, reggae masters The Members play live in our country, but it's finally going to happen again this November as the band announce five dates across the country for this November.

The band released their first single Solitary Confinement through the legendary Stiff label in 1978 and followed it up with their Steve Lillywhite produced debut LP At the Chelsea Nightclub through Virgin the next year.

The band enjoyed plenty of acclaim and success up until 1983 – their album of that year, Uprhythm, Downbeat featured the track Radio, an Aussie hit – before they split up and remained apart for over 20 years.

They reformed in 2007 and have continued to exist in one form or another ever since, the current line-up featuring original members JC Carroll and Chris Payne with The Damned's Rat Scabies on drums.

The dates for the tour are as follows:

Tuesday 12 November – The Corner Hotel, Melbourne
Wednesday 13 November – Prince of Wales Nundah, Brisbane
Thursday 14 November – Hermanns Bar, Sydney
Friday 15 November – The Ed Castle, Adelaide
Saturday 16 November – Rosemount Hotel, Perth
