The Dead Boys will bring their 40th anniversary tour to the UK in early 2018.
The legendary Cleveland punk band will celebrate their 1977 album, 'Young , Loud and Snotty', with shows in Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester, Nottingham and London, where they'll wrap up at the O2 Academy Islington on February 8.
Original guitarist Cheetah Chrome and drummer Johnny Blitz have put together a new band for the trek, which includes Jason Kottwitz on guitar, Ricky Rat on bass and vocalist Jake Hout from a zombie Dead Boys tribute band, the Undead Boys.
To mark the occasion, the band have also released a re-recording of the classic album, titled 'Still Snotty: Young Loud And Snotty At 40'. Speaking about the tour, Chrome said:
"I've had my solo band for the last 10 years, and Dead Boys songs have always been included in my shows and over time the right mix of people came together to pull off and at times enhance the Dead Boys sound. With the 40th anniversary of the Dead Boys on the horizon and a solid band that could interpret and deliver the performance and sound needed to maintain the authenticity of the Dead Boys, I reached out to Johnny Blitz about an anniversary tour and he said 'yes' and we began the journey of what would become Still Snotty."
