Performing tracks from the critically acclaimed SLAUGHTER & THE DOGS album ‘BITE BACK' (Produced by Mott the Hoople drummer Dale Griffin) for the first time since the 40th anniversary reunion shows of the original ‘Bite Back’ line up back in 2021, during which the band played a sold-out show at Manchester's Rebellion club (Released on Secret records as ‘Bite Back Live’ - CD+DVD 25th October 2024) and also gave a memorable performance at the Empress Ballroom during the Rebellion festival in Blackpool the following year. Wired up! Summing up Ed’s festival performance perfectly - 'a true star...strong and soaring, all conquering like a Mancunian Jayne county...a strong contender for front person of the weekend’Eddie Garrity aka Ed Banger/Edweena Banger (Ed Banger & the Nosebleeds, Slaughter & the Dogs/Slaughter) was born and raised in Wythenshawe, Manchester. Ed worked as a roadie for fellow mancunians Slaughter & the Dogs, when supporting the Sex Pistols & Buzzcocks at the legendary Manchester Lesser Free Trade Hall show on 20th July 1976. Following this Ed formed The Nosebleeds and became a fixture in the 1977 punk wars, the Nosebleeds single ‘Ain’t Been To No Music School’ was a schoolboy anthem around Manchester in 1977, selling 10,000 copies.
Ed Banger left the Nosebleeds in 1979, and joined Slaughter & the Dogs, after original singer Wayne Barrett had left the band on the eve of a 1979 UK tour. The album ‘Bite Back’ was released in 1980 (Ed co-writing many of the songs) under the abbreviated name ‘Slaughter', the band then embarked on a sold out, nationwide tour of the UK. The original ‘Bite Back’ era came to an end in 1981. Now, fans can once again enjoy the voice behind those iconic songs as Eddie Garrity revives his musical journey by taking a new ‘Bite Back’ line up on tour
