PUBLIC IMITATION LTD
You might know them better as the 'Sex pistols Experience' - but now this talented band are stretching their musical wings to present, for a limited time only, the Worlds 1st & only Public Image Limited (P.i.L) tribute show! The band are well known around the World for their explosive shows & attention to getting the details just right, & now they will accurately re-create & re-produce the look, sound, energy & excitement of 80's new wave sensation Public Image Ltd, who's music hasn't been heard on a u.k stage in over 20yrs - This has never been done before.!
Anyone into their music throughout the Post-punk/New-Wave era of the early 80's, following John Lydon from the Sex Pistols into Public Image Ltd will remember that the band became far more influential & creative than the Sex pistols ever were.! Public Imitation Ltd, or P¿L, have been very busy for months on end rehearsing and mastering the sounds, look, and adding all the other essential elements it takes to make a PiL gig the exciting & original live show it once was back in their day.
Over a 13yr career (spanning 1978 to 1992) PiL spent the 80's selling out venues up & down the British isles, with extensive tours of Europe, USA & Asia. Instead of having just one album worth of songs (& some B sides etc) like the Sex Pistols, PiL released several albums worth of material & scored a good few chart hits, from which 'Public imitation Ltd' have picked out all the best bits & will deliver them to the crowds in a totally new unique live experience !
Including early album tracks like ' Religion', 'Annalisa', 'Death Disco', 'Solitaire','Flowers of Romance', 'Low Life' etc, plus their chart hits like 'This is not a love song' - 'Bad life' - 'Home' - 'Rise', & throwing in some strong album tracks like F.F.F, & no P.i.L gig would be complete without the obligatory couple of Sex pistols tracks.!
The band have invested in an entire new backline, stage equipment, props, & costume to make the look totally different from their alter-ego's as the 'Sex Pistols Experience', but utilizing their extensive mailing list & myspace friend network built up over the last 9yrs to help promote all the shows.
So dig out your old vinyl & brush up on what was all those long-lost gems of 80's over-indulgence! 'Public Image' are back !
