Video Nasties

Formed in the middle of 2005, the Video Nasties seem to have more than their fair share of luck.
Starting as a five piece, their debut gig was witnessed by a couple of Les Incompetents, who were so impressed that a string of shows followed. Their self-released demo caught the attentions of Xfm DJ John Kennedy, and its fusion of eighties post-punk with Medium 21-style indie has caught the eye of lots of people in the know.
