The Damned

The Damned are currently on the road celebrating their 35th anniversary and even though the tour won't be visiting Detroit, you'll be able to get a glimpse into the band's live show soon. Filmmaker Wes Orshoski (Lemmy) has been hired by the Damned to document all the craziness and a feature length documentary will be released sometime next year. The film will feature footage of the Damned (both on and off the road) as well as interviews with band members.

Captain Sensible had this to say about why the film is going to happen:

It seems like every other scumbag who was ever in a punk band got a film made about them, now it’s our turn, and at least we have some real stories to tell. Hopefully, this will cause a bit of a stink, but that’s what it was always supposed to do.

This calls for a celebratory viewing of "Grimly Fiendish" don't you think?
