THE ADICTS: Sunday, June 27, 2010 - 8:00 PM - close
Presented By: Brixton

The Adicts began life as the Afterbirth & The Pinz, in their hometown of Ipswich back in late 1975.. They scored many Indie Chart hits in the Eighties, and are unbelievably still together, and still making great music, with the same line-up - Keith 'Monkey' Warren, vocals Mel Ellis, bass Pete Dee Davison, guitar and Michael 'Kid Dee' Davison, drums - to this day.Newer members are John Scruff Ellis (Mel's brother) guitar & Dan Gratziani on violin.

"I think we all started for different reasons," recalls Monkey, of their distant origins. "Pete and Kid moved to Ipswich from Sunderland were already playing on their own, using pillows for drums in the front room. Mel had just failed the audition for Nick Kershaw's band (too tall apparently) and I was a punk without a cause. Exactly what year that was may vary depending on who you talk to.
