Anti-Nowhere League

Anti-Nowhere League is an English punk rock band formed in Royal Tunbridge Wells in 1980. This concert brings the group to Brudenell Social Club in Leeds.

Anti-Nowhere League formed in Royal Tunbridge Wells in 1980, and their first album, We Are... The League, appeared in 1982. From the start, the band set out to provoke, and their behaviour drew attention from television, radio and the press, several of which turned them away. Some musicians of the period regarded them as a disgrace to the music business, while their live audiences were, by one account, larger than those of several of those critics.

The band have continued to perform and to release new material, working for many years outside the mainstream spotlight. Commentary on the group notes that, in the decades since, a number of newer bands have adopted a similar independent, uncompromising outlook, which the band's supporters see as a legacy of their early years.

Brudenell Social Club, a live music venue in Burley, Leeds, began as a working men's club and mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts. The evening suits listeners interested in the independent, live side of British punk and in a band whose career has run for more than four decades.
