The Camden Electric Ballroom concert would be the one and only complete concert that the Vicious White Kids would perform as a band.
The Vicious White Kids also performed “ I Wanna Be Your Dog” by the Stooges and “ (I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone” by the Monkees. Other songs performed by the band during their concert included “Chatterbox” by The New York Dolls, “Tight Pants” by Iggy and the Stooges, Frank Sinatra's “ My Way”, Eddie Cochran's “ C'mon Everybody” and “ Somethin' Else”, and Dave Berry's “Don't Give Me No Lip”. They also performed the controversial Sex Pistols song " Belsen Was a Gas". The Vicious White Kids performed several cover songs by musicians and bands such as The Stooges, Ramones, Frank Sinatra, and The New York Dolls.
The band performed in the Camden Electric Ballroom, a two-storey concert venue in Camden Town, London, England. Vicious White Kids Live at the Electric Ballroom The Vicious White Kids are described as heavy punk rock, much like Matlock and Vicious’ former band, the Sex Pistols. The name of the band came from an amalgamation of Sid Vicious, The Rich Kids and Rat Scabies' part-time outfit The White Cats. Vicious' girlfriend Nancy Spungen sang backing vocals, but after hearing her at rehearsals, Matlock made sure her microphone was not plugged in on the night of the gig. Matlock recruited his Rich Kids bandmate Stella Nova on guitar, and The Damned's Rat Scabies completed the line up on drums. Matlock, who Vicious had replaced in the Sex Pistols, saw it as an opportunity "to show there was no animosity" between them, he later commented. Vicious was due to fly to New York City and needed money, so after bumping into ex-Pistol Glen Matlock one day, he decided to play a gig with him.
The 2007 release includes an interview with Matlock and Scabies. Recordings of the concert, which included covers of Frank Sinatra's " My Way" and The Stooges' " I Wanna Be Your Dog", have been released multiple times: in 1991 on DeLorean Records, in 1993 on Receiver Records, in 2002 on Castle Records, and in 2007 on Sanctuary Records.
