The Gonads will play their last ever London date on Friday 2nd November, as special guests of the Last Resort at the Boston Arms, Tufnell Park. The veteran punk band, renowned for songs such as ‘Oi Mate’ and ‘I Lost My Love (To A UK Sub)’ announced today that they will cease playing live shows permanently at the end of next year. The press release says: ‘We are currently working on a series of ‘Farewell to all that’ dates, details of which will be announced periodically throughout 2013. Future projects involving film, fiction, rock opera, and graphic and performance art will be revealed later, but old-fashioned gigs will finish entirely. To book the Gonads in 2013, email waistrel@the-gonads.co.uk; serious enquiries only.’
