Bad Manners were at the forefront of the ska revival movement in the late ’70s. They quickly became the novelty favourites of the era through their bald, enormous-bodied frontman’s silly on-stage antics, earning early exposure through 2-Tone Records package tours and an appearance in the live documentary Dance Craze. In the early ’80s, they had many U.K. hits including “Ne-Ne Na-Na Na-Na Nu-Nu”, “Lip Up Fatty”, “Special Brew”, and “Can Can”. Between 1980 and 1983, the band spent an impressive 111 weeks in the UK singles Chart.
While the ska craze began to fade by the mid ’80s, the band have been on tour ever since performing to their committed fanbase across the globe, with regular tours across the UK, Europe, Central, South & North America, Japan, New Zealand & Australia to this day.
Formed in 1976, Bad Manners have nearly 50 years of experience under their belt and are showing no signs of stopping soon.
