20 From '80 (18) Magazine Melkweg, Amsterdam 8th June 1980

Howard Devoto

In my last 20 from '80 post I mentioned in passing Magazine. This band certainly had their moments of brilliance. With their 1978 debut album 'Real Life', Howard Devoto and Co. turned punk on its head by delivering up something that teetered on the brink of progressive rock! For sure in the shape of Barry Adamson and John McGeough they had two musicians of musical ability that was not far removed from the prog musicians that punk had swept aside in '76/'77.

Here's a short, but good quality radio broadcast from Amsterdam in the summer of 1980.
