May 1st 1977 saw the Clash set off on their first headline tour of the UK, the White Riot Tour, and was the start of a touring career for the Clash that ended on the ill fated US Tour of 1983 when they performed in front of 254,000 people in California.To celebrate the original White Riot Tour of 35 years ago OPG and DtB Promotions present Rebel Truce - The Clash Tribute, performing right back where it all began in Camden !The chosen venue, Dingwalls is within gobbing distance of the original Clash rehearsal rooms is an ideal venue to stage this incredible show. Rebel Truce will be performing all the early 1976/77 songs from the set list of the White Riot Tour plus all time Clash favourites. People who have witnessed Rebel Truce are truly knocked out by their performance, quite possibly as close as your gonna get to seeing the Clash all those years ago !Fresh from their amazing 100 Club show in September, supporting Rebel Truce are 4Jerry from Wrexham. This amazing young band capture all the spirit what was vital in 1977 performing covers and original songs that capture the essence of that time.Starting off the night are a new band Damned Awful Sluts. Described as a cross between early Damned and the Slits not much is known about them. Everytime they play their only wish is that they get off stage before they are bottled off. Quite possibly the worst band you will ever see or hear !Special Guest DJ Ray "Rude Boy" Gange .Ray starred alongside the Clash in the semi BioPic know as "Rude Boy" which captured the Clash in those early Camden days. Ray will be spinning tunes that influenced the individual members of The Clash all those years ago.
