The List

Punishment of Luxury

Punishment of Luxury
Legendary post punk band Punishment of Luxury bring their totally original brand of new wave to Sheffield, 46 years after their last performance at the Limit Club. 1979 was also the year that the band released their highly acclaimed album, 'Laughing Academy'. The album, produced by Gong's Mike Howlett, brilliantly showcases this seminal band, their brilliantly crafted songs and intelligent lyrics which were streets ahead of their peers. However, it was in the live setting that the band really excelled with their highly visual performances and a sound that merged punk and prog but also added theatre into the mix. They have often been named as a major influence by many performers who have gone on to develop their own style of left field, alternative music. Still in the line up that made Laughing Academy, consisting of Brian Bond, Nevilluxury, Steve Sekrit and Jimi Giro, this promises to be an unforgettable night of theatrical post punk, performed by the undisputed masters of their art. Support for the evening will be Bones Park Rider who create biting alternative rock with a new wave slant. They are promoting their third album 'The Comfort of Nightmares' which is being released in 2025 on Hepcat records.
