The Undertones @ Triffid, 07.07.2016

Playing your biggest hit/best known song more than once during a show is never a good thing. When The Undertones nonchalantly play ‘Teenage Kicks’ as their tenth song, it’s perfect. It’s a true punk rock moment. Guitarist Damian O’Neill dedicates it to someone in the crowd before being reprimanded by singer Paul McLoone for the […]

Ex Hex – Rips (Merge)

Song of the day special – 84: recording ‘Teenage Kicks’

Like it says on the card. Here we have a video showing The Undertones recording ‘Teenage Kicks’. Zowee, baby! I’m a little confused as to the dating, though. Surely, the single came out in 1978.
