They were now bona fida rock stars with a few hits under their belt and seen fit to headline their own tour of the UK...The Damned (who can now play three chords) and The Adverts (who can play only one) swere a match made in Hell. Rat and Captain took to being permanently sauced on the free beer upon which the music industry thrives on. The drinking got worse so did the escapades its gonna be a busy 2 months.
They kick off the tour at the Porterhouse, Retford Notinghamshire tonight.
