The Undertones emerged from Derry, Northern Ireland in 1976, the result of five friends
learning how to play basic rock and roll. Even by the standards of that decade, Derry was not
the rock and roll capital of anywhere and with no live bands worth watching, they learned
their trade by listening to mail order records, reading one of the few copies of NME that
made it to Derry but most of all from listening to John Peel’s show on BBC Radio One.
Practicing in their bedrooms eventually led to the band recording ‘Teenage Kicks’ in 1978 on
Terri Hooley’s Good Vibrations label in Belfast. A copy was sent to the legendary DJ John
Peel and he liked the track so much he played it twice in a row on his radio show!
Live The Undertones present a glorious set of classic tracks taken from what are considered
by many fans and critics to be some of the best punk albums of all time, adding to them a
whole bucketful of their iconic guitar pop hits & anthems, Get Over You, Jimmy Jimmy, My
Perfect Cousin, You’ve Got My Number, Julie Ocean, Wednesday Week, and, of course,
Teenage Kicks.
In 2025 The Undertones come roaring back with an extensive UK & European tour to
promote the release of their very first LIVE ALBUM…hard to believe that the band never
released a live recording. The new album includes selected old and new songs performed by
the post 1991 lineup with Paul McLoone on vocals and is currently only available on vinyl
and only at the live shows.
