Passion Killers // Clit Split // Ivy Hughes-Dennis
July 13 @ 1:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Formed in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, in 1979, Passion Killers blended working-class punk energy with pop sensibilities and vocal harmonies to create upbeat songs that were as catchy as they were defiant. Channeling anger and frustration towards authority, inequality, and the looming threat of nuclear war.
They self-released a series of DIY cassette recordings, selling them in school playgrounds and at local youth club gigs. One of these tapes found its way to Crass Records, leading to their track ‘Start Again’ being featured on the seminal Anarcho-Punk compilation – ‘Bullshit Detector Volume Two’.
Both founding members, Mave Mills and Harry Hamer, later became part of Chumbawamba.
Now, after more than 40 years, Passion Killers return to the stage this year for the first time since their last gig at Southfield Hotel, Middlesbrough, June 24, 1984.
Plus Leeds feminist band Clit Spit and solo performer Ivy Hughes-Dennis
