A night of punk rock with attitude in Estepona

The Louie Louie live music venue in Estepona is hosting a night of punk rock and new wave on Saturday 30 September, a concert offering performances by two of the most inspirational bands from the London punk scene.

The concert, which starts around 11pm, kicks off with The Anoraks, a punk band from East London whose music is described as "catchy punk rock with attitude". The band is well established on the London punk circuit and have many headline festival performances under their belt.

 

They will be followed by The Wasps, the Costa's most inspirational punk outfit, a band that helped shape the exciting movement that took over the capital during the mid-1970s. The group's uniquely fresh sound captures the ambience of a pubescent revolution that shook the UK with the ferocity of a native uprising

Fronted by original vocalist and songwriter, Jesse Lynn-Dean, the band formed in London in 1976 and cut their teeth with other pioneering groups of the era such as The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Damned and The Buzzcocks. During this period, the group recorded several singles, and an album called Punkyronics Plus; their repertoire will include early songs from this period, along with new material from the recently released Punk Prayer album.

REVIEW OF THE WASPS AT REBELLION, 2023

by Mark Kelly, Brighton & Hove News. Photos, Mark Kelly

.... I remain in the Opera House for The Wasps, possibly best known for their track ‘Can’t Wait Till ‘78’. The original band split up in 1979, and original vocalist Jesse Lynn-Dean resurrected the band with a new line-up last year when they released a new album called ‘Punk Prayer’. The band is now based on the Costa Del Sol. In 2003 an album called ‘Punkryonics’ was released comprising tracks recorded by the original line-up between 1977 and 1979. They don’t appear to have actually released an album during this time, although this could be because of the management problems which led to their demise in 1979.

So, what are they like today? Jesse is wearing a top emblazoned with the slogan “Angry, Young and Poor”. Well, he may still be angry and poor, but unfortunately the ‘young’ ship sailed some time ago. However, youth is arguably a state of mind, and I think Jesse definitely qualifies from that point of view. He’s definitely still angry though. One of the songs mentions The MC5, who were definitely very angry back in the day. The band are tight and powerful, providing the perfect vehicle to enable Jesse to express his anger.

Several of the older songs get an outing tonight, including ‘J-J-J-Jenny’, ‘Run Run Angelica’, and ‘Evil Man’. It should be noted that the new songs are every bit as good as the old ones though. A particular standout is ‘Radio’, about an Army veteran who’s done two tours of Iraq and one tour of Afghanistan, and how his radio is the only thing that keeps him relatively sane. ‘It Don’t Matter To Me’ is another newer song about finding your partner in bed with your best friend, whilst ‘She Don’t Love You’ (which doesn’t appear to have been released) is apparently about Jesse’s mum.

Can’t Wait Till ‘78’ is the penultimate song in the set, which concludes with a cover of The Velvet Underground’s ‘I’m Waiting For The Man’, which Jesse says he “re-wrote for Lou Reed, and if he was here he’d be f*cking furious”. Actually it’s not radically different. It’s much faster, and has a spoken word interlude. Most importantly though, it rocks! This looks very much like a rebirth for The Wasps, and hopefully we’ll see them gigging in the UK again soon!
