U.K. SUBS, the punk legend on a hundred thousand leather jackets, continue their constant touring regime, playing to new generations of nations' disaffected punk youth. Inspired by the Damned and Sex Pistols, they formed late in 1976 as the 'United Kingdom Subversives', soon shortening their name and playing all the London punk holes through '77. Two songs, including their minimalist classic 'I Live In A Carappeared on the Farewell To The Roxy album, and after a huge selling indie single in 1978 C.I.D they signed to Gem Records via RCA world-wide. Surprising everyone, they then became one of the most consistently and visibly successful punk bands, with seven consecutive UK Top 30 hits between 1979-81, establishing themselves throughout the world with a heavy touring schedule that still continues today. The hits were: Stranglehold, Tomorrows Girls, The Zombie's She's Not There, Warhead, Teenage, Party In Paris and Keep On Running. The albums Brand New Age and Crash Course both went into the UK top ten. Led by the indefatigable Charlie Harper (now venerated as the godfather of UK punk) the band has continued and thrived, through various line-ups and record companies. Touring world-wide for 30 years, they maintain and pioneer the true spirit of punk rock, without the compromise and watering-down that affected so many of their contemporaries.

HISTORY OF THE WHITE TRASH DEBUTANTES
You may not know why you've heard of the White Trash Debutantes, but you know them. You could have seen them playing with such notables as The Ramones, L7, Green Day, Lunachicks, Rancid, Blondie, The Offspring, Other Star People, Zeke, The Donnas, and Shonen Knife. Or you could have seen them on one of their tours of the United States, Japan, Canada or Mexico. Maybe you heard about their invitation to fallen Olympic Skater Tonya Harding to join the band. Or you might have heard about one former member of the band - "The World's Oldest Punk Rocker" - 84 year young Punk Rock Patty Pierce. Or perhaps you have seen the band featured on such hit television shows as "Raw Talent," "The Jerry Springer Show," "E Gossip," "MTV News In Rock," "Conan O'Brien," "Bruce Lattimer Show" and Jim Luccio's, "Tonya And Me". But, like it or not, you have heard of the band once described as a "Prom Night Gone Bad" - The White Trash Debutantes
