Formed during the initial onslaught of U.K. punk in 1976, Manchester's Slaughter & the Dogs were the first group to release a single (the overlooked classic "Cranked Up Really High") on trailblazing hometown independent label Rabid Records. Clearly influenced by the more raucous end of glam rock -- the band's name was drawn from the albums Slaughter on 10th Avenue by Mick Ronson and Diamond Dogs by David Bowie -- the group's lineup consisted of vocalist Wayne Barrett, guitarist Mick Rossi, bassist Howard Bates, and drummer Mad Muffet.
These are photos from concerts where Slaughter and the Dogs played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
