SXSW Performer: Buzzcocks (Manchester, UK)

Straight out of 1977, England's Buzzcocks [ tickets ] remain almost invulnerable to time or passing fads. The band--which practically created the punk-pop genre all by itself--originally broke up in 1981, but reunited officially in 1990 and has remained together ever since. Still led by guitarist/vocalist Pete Shelley, the band issued early last year "Flat-Pack Philosophy," just its seventh studio album in a career spanning more than 20 years. --Tjames Madison

Performing Saturday, March 17 at 8 p.m. at Emo's Main Room (603 Red River St.).
