The Granddaddies of punk rock have now clocked up a 30-year reign and are still going strong, although they've broken up and got back together again more times than Kate Moss and Pete Doherty.
Having just released their eighth album, Flat-Pack Philosophy - a diatribe against rubbish modern living from self-service tills at Tesco to the cult of Ikea, The Buzzcocks have lost none of their vitriol.
Fronted by Pete Shelley, the group, whose 1977 debut EP Spiral Scratch was recently described by Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos as "a punk landmark", influenced everyone from REM to The Smiths and were the most commercially successful punk groups of the Seventies.
"Buzzcocks, to me," says lead guitarist Steve Diggle, "have always been about putting sex in music, and I don't mean in a lap-dancing way.
"Music is based on sex, it's an animalistic thing like a Jackson Pollock painting. It's a vicious, 21st Century thing. There has to be sex in music.
"You've got to stir the loins, and that's what a lot of bands today lack. But it's why we're still here."
Starts 7.30pm, tickets cost £13. Call 01273 673311.
