THE WASPS SUPPORTING FROM THE JAM, BENALMADENA, MALAGA, SPAIN. 3rd June 2023
“... be amazed, the band surprises us a lot live! Vitality and great freshness, sounding very current but without losing an ounce of the irreverence of 77. Great themes in a line of Buzzcocks and The Undertones, sometimes bordering on power pop. They always played in high rotation a lineup of twenty songs, where they mixed the old classics like "Teenage Treats", "She Made Magic" or "Can't Wait 'Til 78" with new songs like "Punk Prayer", "Love In 2 Chords" or "Ohh Baby". Yes, it was good and the old ones surprised” - Luís Rattus
The Wasps were in Faro, Porto & Coimbra on a mini tour of Portugal. This exciting whirlwind tour in the middle of a heatwave, the last gig in Coimbra ended what was an intense and exciting tour which by the time The Wasps performed the final song "Waiting for my man" ended in a stage invasion!! WE LOVE PORTUGAL!!
“I think the audience are all impressed with the bands’ performance tonight. Mixing together both old and new songs, they start with a ‘Free Country’ and ‘He’s Back’ from the ‘Punkryonics’ compilation, before playing the opening track from ‘Punk Prayer’, ‘It Don’t Matter to Me’. Thereafter, it’s a pretty even mix of old and new, played with plenty of energy.... ..."the whole set is met with well-deserved enthusiasm. I think most would agree that the long-wait had been worthwhile and, after this event, I can only hope that they don’t keep us waiting another forty years for their next appearance!” - Tony Pearson
