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!!!

Laughing Academy One of the best punk Lps ever made End Of👌👌👌

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!

never heard of this band. So glad that i stumbled across them

Is it weird that I've watched this like 20 times already....today?

thanks for the uoload loved this band since 1980 im 58 and never seen this before.

Proto Mr Bungle

That was so Devo!

Terrific band!!

You have no idea how much this cheered me up. Nice to see Mr Giro dreesing up for the occasion.

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!

Saw them live around this time. Absolutely awesome. Still one of my fave bands.

went to see these live in 1979 at erics club in liverpool /great live

I just discovered these guys and listened to their first album, so I decided to check out this video, these guys are awesome!

Peel session's awesome too.

Excellent! I wore my copy of Laughing Academy out back in my youth.

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

That looks like Den Hegarty of Darts doing the intro

Please, if you have Jellyfish which they also did, please upload it! This is like the Holy grail for Punilux fans!

great band absurd grotesque

love this song! ♥️ it's such a cool thing getting to see the live version of it

Always go and see see when they come to Middlesbrough

Wow! What a barn find :D Thank you!

Absolute Gold !

🤘🤘🤘

Top find that!!

I think, this is one & only video early punilux on YT

GOOD GOD! An impossible find!

Great to see such good footage uploaded

Brilliant, absolutely fuckin brilliant.....

Excellent

I have no fucking clue what the dude in the beginning is talking about, but I love him and this performance.

They just don't make music like they used to

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.

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