Dangerous Girls Reunited at the H&H Tomorrow Night

Local prog-punk legends the Dangerous Girls, return to play a reunion gig at the Hare & Hounds tomorrow night.

The band, first formed in 1978, gigged regularly in the late 70s and early 80s with the likes of Au Pairs,The Beat,Denizens,Dexy’s Midnight Runners,Fashion,The Nightingales and UB40. This one-off show celebrates the band’s second anniversary gig which they played 34 years ago in October 1980 at the renowned Golden Eagle venue, formerly located on Hill Street in Birmingham city centre.
Dangerous Girls will be supported by the same band who supported them at the Golden Eagle in 1980, the Everreadys, featuring the band’s original line-up of Conrad Schwarz, Janice Connolly (now better known as local comedienne Mrs Barbara Nice), Alan Brown, John Nester and Rob Peters.

To coincide with the gig, a CD is to be released to commemorate the band’s third single, “Man in The Glass”, first issued in November 1980. The new CD, entitled “Men in The Glass”, has been produced by Dangerous Girls and Everreadys drummer Rob Peters, now working as sound engineer at Birmingham’s Highbury Studio. It includes many session tracks and radio broadcasts by the band, as well as interviews by local music luminaries such as Robin Valk and Mike Davies of Brum Beat who has described the band as “Playing a heady cocktail of punk and dub, Dangerous Girls were one of the most distinctive and idiosyncratic bands on the Birmingham scene of the late 70s, leaving behind just 12 official recordings, but a legacy surpassing outfits with far greater outputs.” Check them out performing ‘Dangerous Girls’ live at the H&H last year below;

It all kicks off tomorrow night, Saturday 13th Sept, at 8pm. Advanced £7 tickets are available here.
