The Pogues Live in Sydney Tonight Wednesday 11, 2012

The Pogues, or Pogue Mahone (kiss my arse in Gaelic) as they were then known, came kicking and screaming into the world in 1982 and have been an indelible high watermark on the fickle tide of popular music for the last 30 years. The Pogues command an army of die-hard fans the world over, captivated by the power and conviction of one of the last true punk rock bands.

After the seminal album Red Roses for Me, followed by Rum Sodomy & the Lash, critical accolades began to appear for charismatic front man MacGowan. If I Should Fall from Grace with God and Peace and Love, brought the band commercial success, but cracks appeared, resulting in MacGowan being cast adrift after the recording of Hell's Ditch.

The Pogues reconvened in 2001 with their front man refreshed, yet as wild as ever, and this April will bring their own brand of fiery, literate, celtic rock to Australia.
