Two years ago The Undertones surprised<\/em><\/a> the lot at the Markthalle big time – an endless barrage of 2 minute party hits delivered in a maximum joy setting. As such the return to Hamburg as part of the “40 Years of Teenage Kicks” Tour was a fixture that even lured people from far, even a mate of mine from Rotterdamn came over after being blown away by them during their September show at the Paradiso in Amsterdamned.<\/p>\n

It was an early night as they even sported a support band, but me and me mates happily let go that opportunity. And once it was 21:00 it was time for The Undertones, kickin’ it in for i guess 850 odd people:<\/p>\n

And from the first chord something was missing. On the one hand the “Undertones” logo on the backdrop (has it gone AWOL?), on the other hand something with the sound was not 100% to my liking.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless the only valid start if your tour is “40 years of Teenage Kicks”, as this was the A1 from their 1979 debut album. Most likely that record everybody has in his cupboard though it lacks said “Teenage Kicks” (as it came out a year ahead).<\/p>\n \n
