Thoroughly enjoyed #SixteenAgain Paul Hanley’s exploration of #PeteShelley & #Buzzcocks history and how they inspired & influenced music, musicians, Manchester, himself and very many others. Recommended.

Buzzcocks - first ever gig
#otd, 1 April 1976, Buzzcocks played their first-ever live gig at Bolton Institute of Technology. #PeteShelley and #HowardDevoto hit the stage… and the power was cut after just three songs. Punk was already too loud for the system. 🎸🔊

#StarckClub DJs often spun B-Sides of a single usurping the choice of record company ‘suits’ in favor of a superior albeit less commercial track- with UK former #Buzzcocks frontman #PeteShelley, the instrumental version of his 1981 cut “Witness The Change” became the early fave

The BBC’s objection wasn’t “explicit sex” in any obvious way.
It hinged on a phrase that Shelley swore was never meant as innuendo. Guess the line?

I wasn’t into punk as a kid. I loved the energy, not the uniform.
Funny thing: reading Shelley on punk + the gay scene made me think disco could’ve been punk for me. Easily.

What if I told you one of the key records that shaped 80s synth-pop… basically disappeared?
Same producer.
Same studio.
Same sonic DNA as Dare.
But one BBC decision changed everything.

A great review of my zine commemorating Buzzcocks' Pete Shelley. The zine is a few years old now but it's nice to see people enjoying it still. #zine #punk #PeteShelley #Buzzcocks www.instagram.com/p/DVBAvTSjKw...

#Punk band #Buzzcocks ex-member #PeteShelley is openly bisexual & was shocked when his 1981 solo single “Homosapien” was banned from BBC radio play. The offending risque lyrics included, 🙀 “homo superior/in my interior” 🙀- it was an early Starck fave

How many out there, know that Johnny Marr changed the spelling of his last name because it was the same the Buzzcocks drummer John Maher
One of Buzzcocks most underrated songs

Remembering Pete Shelley today, who sadly passed away OTD in 2028 at the age of 63.
He, along with Howard Devoto, formed Buzzcocks and co promoted the Sex Pistols first ever gig outside of London, in Manchester, taking the punk movement national.
R.I.P. O.P. 🥺

Seven years since this genius died 🖤
This was one of my 'getting ready to go out' records in the '80s. #PeteShelley
