Chris Bailey is revered around the world as a punk legend on the
strength of The Saints scathing first three albums, released 1977 – 1978
and spawning such era-defining songs as I’m Stranded, Demolition Girl
and Know Your Product.
That initial incarnation of the band imploded rapidly, and Bailey
went on to create an enormous amount of music both under his own name,
leading multiple line-ups of The Saints, and in collaboration with a
myriad of different artists in a myriad of different styles.
He’s never revisited the coruscating punk aggression of that debut
Saints album, but he remains the quintessential punk rock artist – he
does what he wants, when he wants, and he cares little how he is viewed
for doing so. Take his most recent jaunt through Europe for almost two
years playing with a French band, or his eccentric (to say the least)
appearance on SBS TV show Rockwiz a few years ago for proof. TBC HERE
