Saw them, when I was a kid and saw them this year as a gift from my pal for my sixtieth. What a band, what energy and originality. It's said that John Osbourne was the first to write kitchen sink plays. I think the Smiths are wrongly credited with being the first band to do the same. The Rezillos burst into the scene at least twelve or more years before at the same time as the 'Punk Rock' phenominan happened. But it wasnt shouted lyrics with contempt for everything from parents to establishment. It was colourful, energetic, totally different without provoking offence. Most of all, the talent that was so entertaining stands to this day. I can't recommend seeing them live highly enough. You will never be disappointed.

The Rezillos, one of the absolutely best bands ever!!!

Everyone likes the Rezillos, excellent band!

I met Faye just before a gig in Washington DC in 2015. (Luv that Scottish accent!) She was very friendly and happy to autograph my "Can't Stand" LP...

The guitar work on the Rezillos album is beyond brilliant...guitar solo on Cold Wars rates as one of my faves of all time...simple but perfect...Good Sculptures...guitar part again perfect.....the songs....love them....The Rezillos album regularly gave my youngest the energy to tidy her room when she was young....!!!....it was the only noise that inspired her to move....

Such a great band.... with such great songs! What I really love about the Rezillos is they are F-U-N..... which is what pop / rock music is all about!

Bands produce their best performances when they’re on the edge of the precipice before the end- as is evident here! Great stuff and unrepeatable energy!!!

Loved their music and performance, one of my favourite bands as a youth. Their energy and creativity was part of what inspired me to make music, form a band, then make music videos and have a career in a creative field. Great to see this clip and see they are lovely people and natural creatives. Thanks for your work. It is still hilarious that TOTPs didn't get it!

Still love Faye Fife...

Rezillos/Revillos were the greatest bands of that era, hands down.

Faye and Eugene are two of the greatest entertainers ever.

Brilliant band.

Thanks goodness they re-formed. Miss Jo Calis songwriting and hard rocking guitar playing, but they are still the best live band out there. Hope they release a live concert DVD, from their favourite venue.

Jo Callis is an incredible guitarist

Here in the USA ; not many people knew about them. Did they ever tour here ? Their records were hard to find too. I have a feeling that - every single B-52's fan would have LOVED and embraced them here

Great band. Great people.

Great Video! Pulled back the curtain on the history of the band for a yank like me! I just caught them in Boston and It was amazing, best show I've seen in years!! Come back soon Faye, Eugene and Rezillos!!

Brilliant band,one of THE best

They have so many alt mixes of their songs, and all are great! Both Rezillos and Revillos!

Saw them in 1978,fantastic live group.

Really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for putting it up.

Outstanding takes me back to the days of .Pink Panthers Pink champagne and Pink Mics . I can almost remember some of it .

Still love them. Not sure they're playing anywhere of late but would love to see em !

saw them recently in Cardiff supporting the Stranglers. The Rezillos were really really good. I want to see them again. It was real escapism

@Blocksvideos... I read a great interview with the 'Zillos in Jack Rabid's "Big Takeover" mag about 6 years ago. They didn't think too highly of the B-52s.. They befriended The Cramps during the New York recording sessions (saw them at CBGBs) and Lux told them the B52s would show up at gigs wearing anoraks..(i.e. poseurs) Maybe there was some rivalry methinks. But I love all three of those bands.

Once seen (live) never forgotten 🚀

Love this band

Great bass player great band

Just saw these last night in Leeds. Great show. Privileged to have seen them.

Fair do’s they worked their arses off on stage, they couldn’t stand still even for a second, all action all energy all the time. Brilliant band ❤️

I love the way that Faye's Scottish accent comes through in the songs. Deffo an under-rated and overlooked band, fabulous looks which were way out kilter with what was going on at the time (new romantic) , but so cool it could solve climate change :)

I love Faye !

Incredible, thanks for posting this!

Faye Fife.... the 2nd best stage name ever

That bass on Can't stand the Rezillos, superb 👍 rip WM.

a nice find,can't remember seeing this,always a great night with the rezilloes.

so, i'm actually Eugene's nephew and my dad used to be the drummer um Eugene's name is really Alan Forbes later he got married wit his wife (my Aunt) he had 2 daughters Cleo and Lois Forbes, by the way my name is Sid Forbes so i guess any fans whats up i'm his nephew!

great memories of my youth,still have most of their vynil

Love them too much. Had The Revillos Monster Man painted in luminous green painted big on the back of my black leather biker jacket. Had to paint over the monster man bit when people kept asking me if it was my cb radio handle and boy I didn't want people to think I had anything to do with any cb radio. They were one of the lights that made my youth so bright.

Amazingly nostalgic. 😁

Faye.....you ..are ....A1..rocker....we know....seen ya.......love,,ya.....

god i love them with all my heart, hope they return some day

Great upload is this. Just rediscovering this band since seeing the OGWT clip featured on Punk at the BBC programme on BBC 4. I would like to know what Faye and Eugene thought of the B52's, and if the B52's knew about them (?). Cheers, Block.

"Motorbike Beat"(b/w "No Such Luck") is my fave song by The Revillos. I bought the record back in 1980. However, I prefer the Rezillos songs.

4:47 Look, Ma, no hands!

Still love The Rezillos.

Saw them at Teviot Row Union in Edinburgh Probably first gig. Anybody else there?

I have recently bought a spare copy of "Mission accomplished ... but the beat goes on" for when my original is worn out. I hate hoarding but when you are well ahead of the game it only makes sense.

Faye got this awesome scottish accent

@Blocksvideos. the B52s in the past plaued "Fallen In Love With Monster Man! at a Halloween Show, and Kate Pierson during the Cosmic Thing tour, spoke highly of them. IIRC they were less enamoured with Voice Of The Beehive whom I love.

And The Rezillos did win

all over the fantastic

How old is this Video ?? Bloody good tho'

Jo Callis was a punk rocker.

Good stuff - did u put this together Kevin? if so when was it shot? cheers

I think it was 1977?

Reckon they influenced the B52s at all?

i'm a big eyed bug with very big eyes and i need hear that, yea! w/o doubt, frvr yng : for sure and i'm from Pilsen, CZ, and hear many similar :D oh my tykadla [tentacles:dude]

I kinda liked the revillos stuff more then the rezillos. though maybe because they never recorded much as the rezillos

I'd be their roadie for cigarettes.

Is Faye Fife sharleen spiteri's mum it sounds as if she should be LOL

Eugene like a non pervert Gary Glitter 😁
