Baxie's Musical Podcast: Brian James from The Damned/Lords of The New Church

Baxie talks with the legendary Brian James. Brian talks about co-founding The Damned—the first British punk band to release a single with "New Rose" (October of 1976). The Damned were also the British Punk band to release an album with "Damned Damned Damned "(February of 1977). They were also the first British Punk band to tour the United States (April of 1977). Brian talks about forming the band and why he left. He also talks about playing with Iggy Pop and about his years with the late Stiv Bators (The Dead Boys) in forming the Lords of the New Church, and the band he formed with Wayne Kramer of the MC5, Stewart Copeland from The Police, Duff McKagan from Guns & Roses, and Clem Burke from Blondie called the Racketeers!
