TV Smith & The Bored
Teenagers Perform Crossing the Red Sea
with the Adverts At The 100 Club DVD
TOn April 5th 2007, singer-songwriter TV
Smith - former frontman of iconic '70s punk band The Adverts - performed
a special set in front of a sell-out crowd at London's historic 100
Club. The gig was to commemorate 30 years since The Adverts played their
first gigs at the Roxy and released their classic first single One Chord
Wonders. Backed by Spanish punks Los Quattro (re-named 'The Bored Teenagers'
for the occasion), Smith performed the Adverts' cult debut album Crossing
the Red Sea electric and in its entirety for the first time since 1977.
That night's blistering performance, featuring some of the strongest
songwriting to have come out of the British New Wave, is presented on
this DVD in full.
