Damnably began in 1994 in Leicester with a John Peel plugged riot grrl DIY gig that featured a young Mark Hibbett and saw Damnably founder George Gargan improvising door and sound duties in a near riot of a gig.

Damnably then assisted the legendary Giant sized Leicester Promoter ‘Magic Teapot’ for a decade, putting on Cat Power, Sparklehorse, Giant Sand, The New Year, Come, Karate and something like 1000 gigs before returning to London.

Damnably’s first London concert was a John Peel day gig in September 2006, featuring Lazarus Clamp, MJ Hibbett and Former Utopia’s debut. Subsequent shows have included Chris Brokaw, Shonen Knife, David Grubbs, Thee More Shallows,PW Long, Damo Suzuki as well as a series of alldayer ‘World International’ shows in which bands would cover Sonic Youth, Smog and The Fall songs with a disco featuring only songs by those seminal bands.

Damnably frequently got gig of the week in Time Out, The Independent, and were even voted Club of the week in The Guardian! plus airplay and plugs on XFM/Radio One and Radio 6 from John Kennedy, Laura Laverne, Huw Stephens, Rob Da bank, Steve Lamacq and Tom Robinson.

Damnably also pioneered its own form of DIY internet radio with over 43 Podcast shows to date, featuring the best of new and old groundbreaking music with sessions, interviews and live concert recordings. These are located at http://www.damnably.com
