So last gig of 2014 on Friday 19th Dec will be our Christmas party at the Cardiff 'Globe' venue, with guest Ed Tenpole Tudor, sure to be a fantastic night to round-off what has been an incredible year for the band, the busiest ever, with more sold out shows up & down the u.k & into Europe than we've ever 'experienced' before.
2015 is looking like more of the same with plenty more live dates all over the u.k, & tours of Europe planned & being planned, festival dates coming in, & one or two special announcements to come early in the year.. Check back soon.! We have our New "Anarchy in the E.U" Live C.D out which we're very happy with, recorded at the last 'Sold out' London 100 Club gig & available at all shows, or over on the 'Store' page.
So once again, as we head into our 14th year of activity, we "thank you" for the unrivaled & unwavering support, & look forward to catching up with you all somewhere on the road in 2015. Keep up with us over on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/sexpistolsexperience , our new Twitter page, or right here on our trusty website...
Have a fantastic Christmas & Happy New Year.! - S.P.E

Sad to report the passing of 'Billy Rath' today 16/8/14, an unfortunate loss to the World of Rock'n'Roll, better known of course for his work with 'Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers' but we had a blast of a tour with him doing the 'Broken Hearts' a couple of years back & it was a pleasure to share the stage. Rest in peace Billy, but knowing him he'll be re-forming the band with Johnny & Jerry no doubt.

The band are just about recovered from a couple of storming weekends overseas, with sell out shows in Zagreb, Berlin & Hamburg, here's a review from the messy mosh-pit in Hamburg:-
http://kw-konzert.blogdns.com/?p=2018&lang=en
Anyone there may of noticed a couple of slight changes to the line-up with 'Sleepy Jones' & 'Kid Hazzard' filling in for us whilst our regular 'Clones & Vicious' guitar/bass combination were trapped in the u.k with family/work commitments, made no difference as the sweat was still pouring from the roof, the Mosh-pit was swirling in chaotic disorder, & everyone had a great time.!

 

 

03/02/14

 

After 2 successful, packed out & crazy shows in Croatia over last weekend (30th jan/1st Feb') the band prepare to travel to do a mini tour of Germany, including Thursday 6th Feb' at the Donkey Club Eindhoven Holland. Hamburg is almost 'sold out' so if your going make sure to get tickets for the Indra club, with guests 'Menace'. Saturday night we're in Berlin at Cortina Bob's.
