Tanz Der Youth was the first post-Damned band Brian James formed. They didn't stick around very long - only long enough to release one single and record a Peel Session. Beside James, the band also consisted of Andy Colquhoun on Bass who was previously in Warsaw Pakt and Alan Powell on Drums who was once a member of Hawkwind. The sound is a bit different than the Damned but not really too far away to not give it a listen.

ReplyDeleteYes, I've been listening to the Dripping Lips CD for a long time and loving it. Also, one of the Brian James solo CDs has the Tanz Der Youth song Polka Dot Shot on it. I love that song.
