About Bad Manners

Bad Manners is composed of vocalist Buster Bloodvessel (born Douglas Trendle), Louis Cook (guitar), David Farren (bass), Martin Stewart (keyboards), Brian Tuitti (drums), Gus Herman (trumpet), Chris Kane (saxophone), and Andrew Marson (saxophone). The band were one of the many bands to take their inspiration from the Specials and the ska revival movement in England in the late '70s.

They quickly became the novelty favourites of the fad through their frontman's on-stage antics, earning early exposure through 2-Tone Records package tours and an appearance in the live documentary Dance Craze.

In the early 80s, they managed several UK hits including "Ne-Ne Na-Na Na-Na Nu-Nu," "Lip Up Fatty," "Special Brew," and "Can Can."

By the mid-'80s, the ska craze was over and the band retired temporarily after the release of 1985's Mental Notes, only to return in 1989 with Return of the Ugly, remaining an adored live attraction.

By the mid-'90s, a third wave ska revival renewed interest in the band. Eat the Beat was released in 1996 and Uneasy Listening followed in 1997, as well as several collections from the band's peak years.

Fantastic night. All the Bad Manners classics, the place was bouncing. 3rd time I’ve watched them at the venue, can’t wait for next year.
