Here’s a short but very, very sweet post for ya. Only one track. But what a tune….It’s Nikki Sudden and Captain Sensible teaming up and tearing up Iggy Pop’s Kill City. Nikki and the Captain first met in 1977 when Nikki was following Marc Bolan on tour, and The Damned were supporting him, at one point Sensible and co. thought Nikki was a spy for The Clash’s manager Bernie Rhodes, not that that stopped them from keeping in touch over the years. The photo of Captain Sensible is from the Nikki Sudden memorial show were he fittingly played three Marc Bolan numbers along with Max Dechampe and Daryl Bath. In 2005 The Captain visited Nikki in Berlin and collaborated with him on Kill City, which was included on the compilation album He Put The Bomp in The Bomp which celebrated the life of Greg Shaw founder of Bomp Records. Other artists on the album include The Warlocks, The Barracudas, The Fuzztones, Soledad Brothers and loads more. The whole album can be found to download over at Youngmosstongue. So click here for a blast of Kill City and there if you want it all, either way you aint gonna be disappointed. "I'M SICK OF KEEPING QUITE I AM THE WILD VOICE"

Two great geezers one great song one top post cheers.
I have been visiting various blogs for my term papers writing research. I have found your blog to be quite useful. Keep updating your blog with valuable information... Regards
thank you for this nuzz, love nikki but you already know that.
Just checked the Nikki site. The forum seems to have disappeared. That’s very bad news. Lots of info on there, including many posts by Nikki himself.
Many Thanks Nuzz! Would have voted for Mr Sensible, if he had a candidate in my area. It's about time a sensible person became prime minister...
Blimey, that's a corking Kill City! Saw The Damned only last week (first time since 1985!) & they surprisingly fab!
