FUTURE THINGS ARE COMING >>>
Remember in 2004 when - to the dismay of aging punk fans (most of whom are apparently sad, married, balding taxidermists with only their deep love of gutting Bambis to remind them of happier, more anarchic dances with the Sex Pistols) - a British TV company announced that John Lydon (Johnny Rotten) had agreed to appear in the reality show "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!" He lasted 11 days to finish in eighth place. Bobble Tiki remembers thinking the line between true authentic raw art and commercial commodity might never actually have existed. Thank you.
Anyway, Public Image Limited - the rock/dance/folk/ballet/pop/dub band Lydon formed in 1978 - will perform at the Showbox at the Market Tuesday, April 20, AEG announced.
Public Image Limited - Lydon (vocals), Lu Edmonds (guitar), Bruce Smith (drums) and Scott Firth (bass) -earned critical and public acclaim for their concerts in December 2009, with many British media outlets championing them as the shows of the year.
This year sees the 30th anniversary of the band's first U.S. tour and also their U.S TV debut on American Bandstand, where Lydon invited the audience onstage to dance with the band.
Tickets for the Seattle show are $39.50 at Ticketmaster, or $45 at the door. Tickets go on sale Friday, March 5 at 10 a.m.
