Jobson still fronts the band, now a stripped back four piece with Peter Byrchmore of The Membranes on guitar.

Kirk Brandon formed Theatre of Hate in 1980 out of punk band The Pack. Their debut album Westworld, produced by Mick Jones of The Clash, held the number one indie spot for 21 weeks, and Do You Believe In The Westworld is still an anthem in clubs worldwide. Kirk and Stan Stammers lead the band, playing the classics with new songs alongside.
