For years, Thee Parkside has served a cross section of San Francisco's subcultures, hosting punk shows, motorcycle meetups and karaoke nights.

There isn't one songwriter, and so the flavour of the band is always going to change, says Dave Vanian, reflecting on 50 years of the group of which he has been the sole constant member, the Damned.
