Strummer Day


The Newmatics with guests The bankRobbers (feat Andrew Boak ex No Tag and Jed Town ex Features), The Skitz (formerly the Managers) & DJ Dubhead, celebrate Joe Strummer's birthday - it would have been his 60th. On at the Kings Arms, tonight. Expect some Clash songs.

"Strummer Day started as a celebration of the life and music of Joe Strummer. Strummer Day is held on or about the 21st Aug, Joes birthday. The first Strummer Day was celebrated in August 2004 on what would have been Joe's 52nd birthday . there have been six Strummer Days since then. Doors 8pm, $20."

Murray Cammick has dug out some of his photos from back in the day and posted them on FB, here's some old shots of the Newmatics, and Andrew Boak (ex-bFM, ex-No Tag) backstage with Doug Hood and Straitjacket Fits drummer John Collie.
