British gothic rock pioneers The Damned slayed the Commodore Ballroom tonight for their 11th album release ‘Evil Spirits’. The Damned have been around since 1976 and are no stranger to putting on a high energy theatrical performance. Captain Sensible came onto the stage with his guitar swinging and riled up the crowd. Lead singer David Vanian swooped across the stage in his long jacket and suit outfit before letting out his harmonic lyrics to ‘Wait For The Blackout’.
