PENETRATION have covered BUZZCOCKS' classic 'I Don't Mind' for a new video.
As previously announced, the Newcastle band will be joining Buzzcocks and THE SKIDS at the Royal Albert Hall, London on 21 June, celebrating the life of the sadly departed Pete Shelley.
Penetration's Pauline Murray memorably paid tribute to Shelley at the Vive Le Rock Awards in March, performing 'What Do I Get?' alongside Steve Diggle and the house band, The Vive Le Rockers.
“I first saw Buzzcocks as an 18-year-old at the Screen On The Green in 1976," she recalled. "Punk inspired young people to explore talents they didn’t know they had and Pete Shelley wrote love songs with a twist,
simple yet profound. I wish Pete was here tonight to know how much he was appreciated for his lifelong dedication to music and providing the soundtrack to the lives of a generation. It’s only when someone leaves us that we notice how their lack of presence can change everything.”
Penetration covered ‘I Don’t Mind’, for the sessions that resulted in their acclaimed 2015 comeback album Resolution, which also featured former Buzzcocks drummer John Maher. The band shot a video for the song at Whitley Bay Playhouse, which has been unseen until now.
