The longest-tenured Irish punk band is undoubtedly Stiff Little Fingers \u2013 who have been bashing and thrashing since 1977. And the double-disc set,\u00a0Live at Rockpalast 1980\/1989<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 released on June 25, 2021 \u2013 shows that the band remained a vital live band (and also, stayed true to their roots) throughout the \u201880s, despite a five-year hiatus smack dab in the middle of the decade.\u00a0Ordering info is here:\u00a0https:\/\/mig-music.lnk.to\/stifflittlefingers<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singer\/guitarist Jake Burns has been the band\u2019s leader since their inception \u2013 with bassist Ali McMordie standing right alongside Jake most of the time \u2013 which saw Stiff Little Fingers being a part of the first-wave of Euro punk bands, which included the lofty likes of the Sex Pistols, the Clash, and the Damned, the Buzzcocks, the Jam, etc. And in the process, Stiff Little Fingers issued such classic punk LP\u2019s as\u00a0Inflammable Material<\/em>,\u00a0Nobody\u2019s Heroes<\/em>, and\u00a0Go for It<\/em>, plus the punk anthems \u201cAlternative Ulster,\u201d \u201cSuspect Device,\u201d and \u201cAt the Edge.\u201d\u00a0Comprised of a total of three discs,\u00a0Live at Rockpalast 1980\/1989<\/em>\u00a0will certainly satisfy both your audio and visual needs \u2013 the first two discs are audio-only, featuring the 1980 and 1989 performances, while the third disc is a DVD of the group\u2019s classic 1980 appearance on Germany\u2019s long-running music show.\u00a0And the performance remains memorable all these years later for the band, as Jake recalls:\u00a0“We were all well aware of what a great show\u00a0<\/em>Rockpalast\u00a0was, having seen quite a few while touring in Europe, so we were delighted to be asked to appear. We got there a day early and went to the venue as our friends, UFO, were playing. It was a great insight into the audience’s perspective. And a little bit daunting as we hadn’t realized how big the auditorium was!However, we needn’t have worried as the next evening the place was packed and the audience were with us from the first note. They were wonderful, singing and bouncing along. It really felt like a “home game” to use a football analogy. I thought we played really well too, apart from a slight timing mistake during “Back to Front”, a new song we were still learning. (See if you can spot my giving Jim the “look of death” at that point! LOL!)We rounded the night off in our hotel bar with another bunch of friends, The Jam, who were also on the bill. It’s a show and audience I remember with great affection. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to be a part of the\u00a0<\/em>Rockpalast\u00a0story.”<\/em>\u00a0With\u00a0Live at Rockpalast 1980\/1989<\/em>, Stiff Little Fingers fans now have the ultimate live document of the band at their in-concert peak.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
