SUMMARY:THE UNDERTONES
DESCRIPTION:THE UNDERTONES – Part 1 – 1976 – 1983 \n  \nThe Undertones emerged from Derry in 1976\, the result of five friends (John O’Neill\, Damian O’Neill\, Feargal Sharkey\, Billy Doherty and Michael Bradley) learning how to play basic rock and roll. \n  \nEven by the standards of that decade Derry was not the rock and roll capital of anywhere. With no live bands worth watching\, they learned by listening to mail order records\, reading one of the few copies of NME that made it to Derry but most of all from listening to John Peel’s wonderful show on BBC Radio One. Practicing in their bedrooms eventually led to the band recording John O’Neill’s ‘Teenage Kicks’ in 1978 on Terri Hooley’s Good Vibrations label in Belfast. The legendary DJ John Peel received a copy and liked it so much he played it twice in a row on his radio show. \n  \nThe Undertones signed with Sire Records and ‘Teenage Kicks’ was re-released\, resulting in the band’s first appearance on Top Of The Pops. Over the next five years\, John O Neill\, crafted further pop gems such as `Here Comes The Summer`\, ‘Jimmy Jimmy`\, `You’ve Got My Number (Why Don’t You Use It)’ and ‘Wednesday Week’ whilst Damian O’Neill and Michael Bradley contributed ‘My Perfect Cousin. They also recorded four highly acclaimed LPs. Indeed\, they almost enjoyed the life of professional musicians. In 1983 Feargal Sharkey left the band to pursue a solo career and the remaining members decided to call it a day. The Undertones were to remain silent for the next sixteen years. \n  \nTHE UNDERTONES – Part 2 – 1999 –  \n  \nIn 1999 The Undertones reconvened\, without Feargal Sharkey\, to once again perform their two-minute\, three and a half chord songs to a new generation of fans in Derry. Fellow Derryman Paul McLoone replaced Sharkey on vocals and his vocal prowess and electric onstage presence soon convinced any doubters that he was more than capable of doing the job. \n  \nAfter much consideration the band released an LP of new songs called `Get What You Need‘\, which was critically acclaimed by Q magazine\, Uncut\, Rolling Stone and Hot Press. Songs like ‘Thrill Me’\, ‘I Need Your Love The Way It Used To Be’ and ‘Everything But You‘ showed that the art of writing short\, sharp songs had not been lost over the previous two decades. \n  \nIn 2003 ‘Thrill Me’ was released as a limited edition 7” vinyl single and found its way to John Peel’s turntable. He introduced it on his show commenting\, “And these are words I thought I would never be saying on radio again\, a new single from The Undertones”. He liked it so much he played it twice\, just as he did with ‘Teenage Kicks’ in 1978. \n  \nThe band marked Record Store Day 2013 with a 7” vinyl only release\, recorded in the famous Toe Rag studio in London. A return to their punk roots\, ‚Much Too Late‘ sold out the 1\,000 copies before the day was out. \n  \nIn 2016 the Band released vinyl remasters of ther first two LPs; ‘The Undertones – The Undertones’ and ‘The Undertones – Hypnotised’ along with a 7” vinyl remix of the 1979 single ‘Get Over You’. Remixed by Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine/Primal Scream). Michael Bradley also published his book Teenage Kicks: My Life As An Undertone’. \n  \n2018 marked the 40th Anniversary of the release of their most influental and famous song\, ’Teenage Kicks’.  On 21st April for Record Store Day 2018 the band released a Vinyl Singles Box Set containing the 13 x 7” original Undertones singles from the classic early period: 1978-1983. \nOf this release Damian O’Neill says: \n  \n“The collective attitude of The Undertones to the magical power and influence of the humble 45rpm 7” single was always one of total reverence and respect. It really did matter. Back then in our Undertones world\, a great single was even more important than the L.P it helped promote and getting on Top Of The Pops was the ultimate accolade that we were doing it right. And if you didn’t make it on TOTP’s\, then there was always the next single. \n  \nListening again to these 13 A and B sides\, I hear a great pop group who \ntried their best to be true to themselves and ultimately didn’t disappoint.” \n  \n2024  will see The Undertones roaring back with an extensive  UK and European tour  to promote the release of  their very first LIVE ALBUM….hard to believe that the band has never released a live recording. The album will include  selected  live tracks  performed by post 1999 line up with Paul McLoone on vocals. Release date is planned for Spring 2024 \nFor further info contact Barry Stewart at baz100@mac.com \n  \nCONCERT REVIEW 2023 – BRIGHT AND HOVE NEWS \n“Highlights are almost too numerous to mention. There’s obviously ‘Teenage Kicks’ (dedicated by Michael Bradley “to the bride and groom”); ‘Jimmy Jimmy’\, ‘Get Over You’\, ‘Here Comes The Summer’\, ‘True Confessions’\, ‘More Songs About Chocolate And Girls’ (with drummer Billy Doherty all over his kit); not forgetting ‘My Perfect Cousin’. Quite frankly\, The Undertones are probably the most fun you can have at a festival (or probably anywhere else) with your clothes on. If you don’t have an Undertones album\, well there really is no excuse”…. \nwebsite: www.theundertones.com \nFACEBOOK \nTWITTER \nINSTAGRAM \n„Teenage Kicks“: Isle of Wight Festival 2017 \n„You’ve Got My Number“ – Live in Berlin 2016: \nShop – https://the-undertones.tmstor.es \n
