Bad Manners at the Electric Palace at 8pm on Saturday 12th July '08. The fantastic 2Tone Ska revival band fronted by outlandish huge-tongued and shaven-headed Buster Bloodvessel. They were at their most popular during the late 1970s and early 1980s, during a period when other ska revival bands, such as Madness and The Specials and The Selecter, filled the charts. Bad Manners spent 111 weeks in the British singles charts between 1980 and 1983.
Some of Bad Manners' more notable hits include "My Girl Lollipop", "Lip Up Fatty", "Ne Ne Na Na Na Na Nu Nu", "Lorraine", "Just A Feeling", "Walking In The Sunshine", "Can Can" and "Special Brew". One of the main reasons for their notoriety was Buster Bloodvessel and his manic exploits got them banned from the British BBC TV chart show Top of the Pops.The band was also banned from Italian TV after Bloodvessel mooned a concert audience, after being told that the Pope was watching on TV.
