Red Snapper
Following the success of their album ‘Barb and Feather’ on Lo Recordings and a full UK Tour in 2025, Red Snapper will return to the live circuit with a brand new album in May 2027.
Rich, Ali and Tara will be joined on stage for the tour by the phenomenal Sax/Clarinet/Keys player George Mooney. The new album promises to maintain the band’s reputation as being consistently ground breaking and relevant as has been the case through their 30 year career… with new musical elements to the fore and new rhythmical furrows ploughed. Tara Cunningham and George Mooney are both intrinsic to the album. Resident Snapper sax player Tom Challenger also appears on the album but will be taking a well earned sabbatical next year and so will pass the baton for the majority of the tour into the brilliant hands of Mr Mooney…
The live show will be as passionate and energetic as ever. Audiences will be the first to hear new album material alongside plenty of Snapper’s favourites. The band are excited to present this new music which they consider to be the most powerful and dynamic they have produced since Reeled and Skinned.
THEATRE OF HATE
In 1980, Kirk Brandon formed THEATRE OF HATE from the ashes of heralded punk band The Pack. Joining Kirk on vocals were notable punk musicians Stan Stammers and Luke Rendall, along with old school friend, Steve Guthrie and Canadian born John “Boy” Lennard, who revolutionised the band’s sound with his haunting sax lines.
Theatre Of Hate’s debut double-A-side single, “Legion”/”Original Sin”, topped the independent chart in 1980, and “Westworld”, their debut album, produced by Mick Jones from The Clash and released in 1982, held the number one position for 21 weeks. The single taken from the album, “Do You Believe In The West- world?” has become an anthem and is still widely played in clubs and on international radio, as well as featuring on numerous compilation albums.
Theatre Of Hate imploded in 1982, with Kirk taking Stan forward to form Spear Of Destiny, but the band has resurfaced over the years to play some very special shows across the UK, Europe and the USA.
The band now have a settled line up of Kirk Brandon, Stan Stammers, Chris Bell & Clive Osborne who astound their loyal fanbase with high-octane live shows featuring new songs and classics from their back catalogue.
