Detroit, Michigan – The Buzzcocks are back on the road and
will be stopping in Detroit at Saint Andrews Hall this month. They will also be
playing at Chicago’s Riot Fest 2014 and will be doing a set there on day 2. The
event in Chicago is a three day alternative rock festival that will feature
many classic acts and indie bands including Weezer, Gwar, Cheap Trick, The
Offspring, Anti Flag, The Picture Books, The Afghan Whigs, The World is a
Beautiful Place, The Orwells, The Bots,
Face to Face, Saosin, The American Scene, Die Antwood, The Cure, Janes
Addiction and many more.
The Buzzcocks hail from the UK Punk movement in 1976 and
will be joined by other alumni including The Stiff Little Fingers, and TheCure. Front man Peter Shelley will be joined by another original member of the
band – Steve Diggle. This years festival is going to go all out and will be
featuring the manic energy from all areas of the punk and post-punk scene
throughout the decades. This is sort of a best of from this genre of music. HotMetro Finds will be covering the festival and will be writing and commenting on
the sets delivered by these iconic bands.
“The Buzzcocks are a phenomenal act and the contribution
made to punk and post punk music is huge.” Says Hot Metro Finds creator, TedCantu. “The singles all the way up to later releases like All Set have brought
pop sensibility to the overall sound. The fans love it. Many of those records
can be played over and over again they aged well.” Along with the coverage of
the live performance at Riot Fest there will also be series of video highlights
throughout the Buzzcocks multi-decade career.
There will be other acts from the Buzzcocks era from the NewYork scene including Television and Patti Smith. This event will be a who’s who
of punk and post punk and the bands will be set up on multiple stages. The
Portland band The Dandy Warhols will be playing in the same time slot as the
Buzzcocks on day 2. Both bands have a strong following and the fans will have
to decide on who to watch. One can’t lose on Riot Fest 2014 and it should be
one amazing event.
