The
Undertones emerged from Derry in 1976, the result of five friends learning how
to play basic rock and roll. Even by the standards of that decade Derry was not
the rock and roll capital of anywhere. With no live bands worth watching, they
learned by listening to mail order records, reading one of the few copies of
NME that made it to Derry, but most of all from listening to John Peel’s
wonderful show on BBC Radio One.
Practicing
in their bedrooms eventually led to the band recording ‘Teenage Kicks E.P.’ in
1978 on Terri Hooley’s Good Vibrations label in Belfast. The legendary DJ John
Peel received a copy and liked it so much he played it twice in a row on his
radio show.
