THE RADIATORS FROM SPACE - DEMOS - IMPORT ALBUM - NEW & SEALED - INCLUDES BOOKLET - 180g VINYL.
Fantastic demos collection from The Radiators From Space.
The Radiators From Space were founded during punk's first wave, they are generally regarded as Ireland's first ever punk band.
They signed to Chiswick Records and released the album TV Tube Heart in 1977, their first single "Television Screen" was the first and only ever punk record to make the Irish top 20, and was featured on many punk compilation albums.
The band toured Ireland and the UK, including a stint opening for Thin Lizzy on the UK leg of their 1977 Bad Reputation tour, with a headlining UK tour of their own following in 1978.
After they seemed to stall in Ireland with no radio play or record company promotion they moved to London and eventually disbanded in 1981.
After contemplating going solo for a little while Philip Chevron of course went on to join The Pogues.
In 1987, The Radiators reformed for one gig, an AIDS benefit in Dublin. The Chevron-penned song Under Clery's Clock, a love song and a protest against homophobia was premiered at the show and released as a single the following year.
The band again reunited in December 2003, under the name "The Radiators Plan 9", Original members Chevron, Holidai, and Rapid were joined by former Pogue bandmate Cait O' Riordan on bass.
The Radiators were a fantastic band and although their recorded legacy isn't huge their fondly remembered for their fantastic one of a kind upbeat and energetic form of punk rock
A fantastic limited edition import album, new and sealed, issued on 180g vinyl with a double spread booklet, this is an essential collection of demos - Radiators Style.
