SUMMARY:TVs Over presents Cockney Rejects
LOCATION:The Underground
DESCRIPTION:Rarely in the long history of British rock’n’roll has there
  been a story of such depth\, magnitude and sheer turbulence as that of th
 e Cockney Rejects. The band were formed in the late Seventies in East Lond
 on as an answer to the art school punk that had dominated the scene up unt
 il then. Fiercely working class in stance and attitude\, the band eschewed
  the political ramblings of punk’s first wave and sang about the circums
 tances that surrounded them and millions of street kids in Britain’s inn
 er cities- Police harassment\, street battles and football to name three. 
 Signed by EMI after playing four local gigs (less than the pistols!) they 
 found themselves playing sell out tours the length and breadth of the UK a
 nd seeing their debut album storm the charts. Top of the pops appearances 
 followed\, which became the stuff of legend as the band generally ran amok
  in the hallowed White city studios\, finally getting banned from the show
  for their boisterous behavior. In 1980 the band recorded a riotous versio
 n of ‘I’m forever blowing bubbles’ to celebrate the fact that their 
 beloved West Ham United had reached the FA cup final that year\, but their
  devotion to all things claret and blue proved to be their downfall as the
  gigs became battlegrounds between the band and rival supporters\, culmina
 ting in the vicious ‘Battle of Birmingham’ that led to serious crimina
 l charges that in turn led to the band being finished as a touring unit. W
 ith the band’s first phase being over\, in the interim they were discove
 red by a brand new fanbase such as US bands Rancid and Green Day\, who che
 rished the Rejects and their terrace punk singalong anthems which\, in tur
 n\, inspired a new generation of kids to check them out. Due to overwhelmi
 ng demand\, the band returned to the live circuit in 2000\, and have since
  gone from strength to strength\, playing to hundreds of thousands of peop
 le across the globe with a live set that is so energetic that it has to be
  seen to be believed. With the fractionalization of the late ‘70’s and
  early ‘80’s now gone for good\, with every gig becoming a party for f
 ans and band alike\, the Cockney Rejects go from strength to strength. Wit
 h a feature length documentary\, ‘East End Babylon’ due for release in
  UK cinemas in October 2012 and a brand new album of the same name being r
 eleased simultaneously\, there has never been a better time to check out t
 he band that inspired a generation with their timeless brand of terrace si
 ng along classics and white hot live set. Join the Rejects- You won’t ha
 ve a better night out all year!\n\nBoletos: https://www.fatsoma.com/e/mb4c
