The Standells live in London

Ok, it might not be the same as seeing them in the mid to late 1960s, but you'll have a rare chance to see The Standells in London in June. Indeed, the first time the band has ever played the UK.

The date is Saturday 19th June, the location is 229 The Venue, 229 Great Portland Street, London, W1W 5PN and the band will be knocking out cult favourites from 9:30pm.

After that, DJ Dr Robert and guests will spin R&B, Garage, Beat & Psych 45s at the after show party until 3:30am. Tickets are £22.50 and are on sale now. Check out over the page for a clip of the band in cult flick Riot On Sunset Strip.
