Sweaty hysteria for sardonic lone-rangers and future Godfathers of punk.
Who
Viagra Boys are your best, worst, Swedish nightmare complete with screechy-satire, a John Prine hoedown, and an age-old lust for sax-y nightclubbing.
What
Following on from their critically acclaimed (and Rough Trade staff favourite) debut Street Worms, the much-awaited sophomore return sees these old dogs stirrin’ shit up with some of their gnarliest tricks. Blazingly out-casting socially mis-demeaning narratives is significantly nicer, when carried out by a gang of self-described assholes.
With
The Stooges, Grinderman, The Stranglers, Fontaines D.C, Snapped Ankles.
