Glen Matlock to perform a free show at Fopp Covent Garden to launch new album

Punk legend and original bass player for the Sex Pistols, Glen Matlock celebrates the release of his new album, 'Born Running', with a free performance and signing session at the Fopp store on Earlham Street in London's Covent Garden on Monday 30th September 2010.

Showtime starts at 6.00 pm after which Glen will remain in the store to meet fans and sign copies of the new album which is released the same day.

Glen Matlock is famous for being in the original line-up of the punk rock band Sex Pistols and is credited as a co-author on 10 of the 12 songs on 'Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols'. Glen's latest album, 'Born Running', recorded with his band The Philistines, offers up twelve more punchy and direct examples of Matlock's innate ability to craft timeless, melodic rock songs. It has an added poignancy insofar as it features the last recordings of guitarist Steve New, one of Matlock's oldest friends and fellow founder-member of The Rich Kids, who died in 2010. Also in the band's line up is drummer Javier Weyler, the current drumming incumbent with The Stereophonics, as well as guitarist James Stevenson, who, like Matlock, is a musical survivor from the original School of '76 British Punk Rock. The album was produced by Jim Lowe, who has produced numerous hugely successful albums for The Stereophonics.
