Under the name Men Of No Shame, three icons of rock music – Glen Matlock, Earl Slick and Slim Jim Phantom – are coming together for a performance and a question and answer session, playing a selection of all of their history-making music.
Glen Matlock was the original bass player for the Sex Pistols, credited with co-authoring numerous songs on their seminal album Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols. He has also lent his hand to work with Iggy Pop and Rich Kids.
Guitarist Earl Slick rose to stardom becoming David Bowie’s right hand man on his 1974 Diamond Dogs tour, as well as playing lead guitars on Bowie’s US breakthrough record Young Americans and Station To Station. He has also collaborated with John Lennon, Yoko Ono and The Cure’s Robert Smith.
Slim Jim Phantom is the drummer for rockabilly legends Stray Cats, working alongside Brian Setzer and Lee Rocker on tracks including ‘Stray Cat Strut’, ‘(She’s) Sexy + 17’ and ‘Rock This Town’.
Men Of No Shame will perform on February 28 at the Newtown Social Club.
