The Hairy Dog and Breakout Promotions are proud to announce that The Darling Buds will be playing on Sunday 26th October supported by the Molly Vulptyne Band. This is a matinee show with doors at 4pm. Pop Said...
The Darling Buds' ebullient songs, packed with bright melodies, frank lyrics, and cutting guitars, helped form the bridge from C-86 to Brit-pop, and continue to be celebrated with the band's occasional activity. The Welsh group made their recorded debut a year after NME's 1986 cassette snapshot of the British indie scene, and soon placed "It's All Up to You" and "Shame on You" in the Top Five of the U.K. independent chart. Signed to major-label Epic (and Sony-distributed Columbia in the U.S.), their driving first album, Pop Said... (1989), produced a Top 40 pop hit with "Hit the Ground" and peaked higher yet on the U.K. album chart. Swift follow-up Crawdaddy (1990) incorporated dance rhythms without stifling the band's pop instincts and appealed to the States with "Crystal Clear" and "It Makes No Difference" both cracking Billboard's alternative chart. The Darling Buds bowed out with Erotica (1992), a dreamier set that preceded Madonna's like-titled album by weeks and Brit-pop's emergence by a year. Frontwoman and songwriter Andrea Lewis re-formed the band with past members in 2010. They've since recorded the Evergreen EP (2017), four songs true to their past but fresh in sound.
