Born William Michael Albert Broad in Stanmore, North London in 1955, Billy Idol moved to New York as a child and returned to the UK to affirm himself as a central figure of the British punk movement.
His music, image and attitude have stood the test of time and transcended fashion and trends; after fronting seminal punk outfit Generation X – who split in 1981 - Idol embraced dance and rock, penning anthems including “White Wedding,” “Dancing With Myself,” “Flesh For Fantasy,” “Hot In the City,” “Eyes Without A Face,” “Rebel Yell,” and “Cradle of Love,” among others.
From punk rebel to mainstream rock hero, there’s no territory Billy Idol left unconquered.

Also appearing - Television:
Television were one of the most creative bands to emerge from New York's underground scene of the mid '70s, creating an influential new guitar vocabulary. While guitarists Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd liked to jam, they didn't follow the accepted rock structures for improvisation - they removed the blues while retaining the raw energy of garage rock, adding complex, lyrical solo lines that recalled both jazz and rock. With its angular rhythms and fluid leads,
Television's music always went in unconventional directions, laying the groundwork for many of the guitar-based post-punk pop groups of the late '70s and '80s.
