THE REZILLOS

THE REZILLOS + very special guests: GOODBYE MR. MACKENZIE The Rezillos are a punk/new wave band formed in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1976. Their independent debut single, 'I Can't Stand My Baby' shot them to underground fame initially via airings on the radio show of BBC Radio 1's John Peel. Their follow up classic singles 'My Baby Does Good Sculptures', 'Top of the Pops' and 'Destination Venus' signalled critically acclaimed milestones for the band. The Rezillos recorded their landmark album 'Can't Stand the Rezillos' in New York's fabled Power Station studio, immersed themselves in the local music scene and dropped in during downtime to play a gig at CBGB's, the hub of Punk Rock music. The album reached the top 10 in the UK album chart and is lauded as a punk classic. Goodbye Mr Mackenzie formed in the early 1980's. They achieved success in the UK with their 1989 debut album Good Deeds and Dirty Rags, which featured the top 40 hit The Rattler. Fronted by Martin Metcalfe and featuring Shirley Manson (later of Garbage) on keyboards and vocals, they are often considered one of Scotland's most underrated bands. An AGMP Concerts presentation
