Punishment of Luxury *should* have been friggin' famous! They were THAT band... the one everyone wanted to sound like, but couldn't. That is, if fellow musicians actually heard them, because for whatever reason, these guys got left in the proverbial dust, when they should have been damn ROCK STARS!!!
WOW!! That brought back memories of my youth. I was lucky to see PUNILUX way back in 1979/80 at The Rock Garden Middlesbrough. They had just released their superb album Laughing Academy. Awesome gig!
Mr Lost Pop TV, I have to say that I can now die in peace, because on 14th March 1979, I watched this very broadcast as an obsessed 14 year old, sat in my parents lounge with a microphone straining from my dad's music centre to the Phillips TV speaker and recorded this in awe and ecstasy, as Punilux were 'my band' in 1979. I accidently threw away the tape (complete with my excited shrieks of 'Brilliant') in 1995 and thought that I would never see or hear this again, as it was a local Tyne Tees one off 'youth' programme, so must have had a very limited audience. I can't even remember how I found out that they were performing, as info was so limited in those days. I even spoke to Brian Bond, the singer of Punilux at one of their gigs in Middlesbrough a couple of years ago and even he said he didn't think it still existed. I am a very, very happy nostalgic man. I congratulate you soooooo much. Where you got it from I do not know, but thank you, thank you, thank you!
Absolutely classic , Brain Bond lived 2 streets away from me as a child ... remember seeing them at the city hall with the skids .... amazing live ...and not so long ago at the Cluny ....so happy to see the original 😊
Was that at Knebworth? Reading? I saw them at one of them and watched a MASSIVE fight develop in the mosh pit. To this day I believe it was their incredible music that inspired it. POWER.
Comments read ?! Suggest our north east band underrated ( for sure!!) Couldn't possibly of been b cos , of some North South divide kind o' ting could it why! No mann!! 😅
I've got Laughing Academy and saw them live at Knebworth (or maybe Reading - a lot of drugs in those days 😁). This is the worst performance of this song I have seen. They can be much better than this. Survival of the fattest means ripoff in every way. Never a truer lyric sung.

It's a pleasure mate. Glad you enjoyed that trip back in time.

i do believe this is the cutest comment i’ve ever read on the internet
@@lostpoptv7162 post more, this footgae will get lost otherwise.
never heard of this band. So glad that i stumbled across them
thanks for the uoload loved this band since 1980 im 58 and never seen this before.
Is it weird that I've watched this like 20 times already....today?
You have no idea how much this cheered me up. Nice to see Mr Giro dreesing up for the occasion.
Saw them live around this time. Absolutely awesome. Still one of my fave bands.

POWER.
That was so Devo!
Proto Mr Bungle
Terrific band!!
Excellent! I wore my copy of Laughing Academy out back in my youth.
great band absurd grotesque
went to see these live in 1979 at erics club in liverpool /great live
love this song! ♥️ it's such a cool thing getting to see the live version of it
Peel session's awesome too.
I just discovered these guys and listened to their first album, so I decided to check out this video, these guys are awesome!
Please, if you have Jellyfish which they also did, please upload it! This is like the Holy grail for Punilux fans!
I remember watching this and thinking "brilliant weirdos" bought the single a few days later. They used to have great bands on this programme.
A big shame , they never did this on the old grey whistle test because they would have been massive
Always go and see see when they come to Middlesbrough
That looks like Den Hegarty of Darts doing the intro
The programme was Alright Now, and he was indeed the presenter.
Top find that!!
Absolute Gold !
Brilliant, absolutely fuckin brilliant.....
Wow! What a barn find :D Thank you!
I think, this is one & only video early punilux on YT
GOOD GOD! An impossible find!
Great to see such good footage uploaded
I have no fucking clue what the dude in the beginning is talking about, but I love him and this performance.
Pretty sure that dude is Den Hegarty from the group Darts. czcams.com/video/Z8C4vNjDaSo/video.html

Proto Voivod, rules
They just don't make music like they used to

Greenside.... 1980's... I bet all of those guitars and drums etc. were on the never never! Brilliant band though -
