Belfast, Ireland's favourite punk four piece Stiff Little Fingers just announced they're coming to Australia.
They set the Belfast punk scene back in 1977, writing about life at the height of The Troubles in Northern Ireland. In 1979 they became the first band ever to hit the UK Top 20 album charts on an independent label with their debut Inflammable Material, which was calling on youth to create their own reality.
The band released three more albums before splitting in 1983. They reformed in 1987 and released six more studio albums, playing with a consistently fluid lineup based around frontman Jake Burns for the nearly 30 years since. Stiff Little Fingers will play 170 Russell on Thursday March 31.
