Pretenders

In July 2009, The Pretenders performed 'Back On The Chain Gang' live at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire in London, marking a vibrant phase in their storied career. By this time, they had recently released 'Break Up the Concrete' in 2008, which showcased a return to their roots with a raw, stripped-down sound reminiscent of their early work. This album, produced by the band themselves, reflected a renewed vigor and creativity after a period of relative quiet. Interestingly, 'Back On The Chain Gang' originally released in 1982, became one of their signature songs, intertwining the band's past with their present. During the performance, fans were treated to the captivating blend of rock and poignant lyrics that The Pretenders are known for, highlighting their timeless ability to resonate emotionally with audiences, even decades after their debut.
