Ned’s Atomic Dustbin announce 30th Anniversary ‘Ingredients EP’ shows

It seems so weird now to think that we wrote Grey Cell Green so early on – we were still just boys and we had no idea that we would ever even release a record at the time. That particular song seems to have defined us well before our ‘hits’ like Kill Your Television, Happy and Intact got written.”
 
Along with fellow Stourbridge bands Pop Will Eat Itself and The Wonder Stuff, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin were part of the ‘Stourbridge’ scene that emerged in the late 80’s. The band’s twin bass guitar line-up gave them a distinctive sound that quickly enabled them to build up a live reputation across the globe, earning top spots at festivals such as Glastonbury and Reading.   
 
In April 1990, as national media were beginning to take notice, their first taste of television came in the form of an interview for a show called ‘Transmission’ after soundcheck at their first London headline show at Dingwalls in Camden Town.  The interview captured the excitement and unease of the band just before the EPs release, with no idea if they would 
sink or swim. Their fears unfounded the bands ascent into the UK music scene was underway and, with three Indie-chart-topping records under their belts, they signed to Sony Music and notched up appearances on Top Of The Pops and The Word then after three albums and a final show in New York, the band called it a day in 1995.
 
So, in 2020 Ned’s Atomic Dustbin will be playing the London shows first, before returning home back to their roots – the reverse of their emergence in 1990!
 
The band are promising a different set each night in London and in Stourbridge to include all tracks from ‘The Ingredients EP’ interspersed with tracks from throughout their catalogue.
 
50 limited-edition show-specific t-shirt and ticket packages will be available for each show – first come, first served!
