Today (15th March 2026) Howard Devoto celebrates his 74th birthday. Happy birthday Howard! That is as good an excuse that I need to post some Magazine. Not satisfied with putting Manchester on the punk map with Buzzcocks, in a manner that truly embodied the spirit of punk Devoto upped and left Buzzcocks as soon as they had a record out. I would imagine that nobody could second guess where he was going next on the musical front! 'Real Life', punk meets prog.... completely different to anything that his contemporary musicians of the first wave of punk were going and all the more brilliant for that. I must make it one of the Top 30 'spotlight' albums in the coming weeks.
This short set recorded in Vienna saw Howard and Co. playing at the prestigious Konzerthaus as support to Patti Smith.
