The Barracudas

London guitar slingers The Barracudas predated the surf-rock revivalism of The Drums et al. by a good few decades, though they were cursed to be forever associated with 1980 novelty hit 'Summer Fun'. The group have reunited a few times since they first split up in 1984, always centering around the core duo of vocalist Jeremy Gluck and guitarist Robin Wills, who are joined for this Japan tour by longterm associate Chris Wilson (of The Flaming Grooves fame). They're supported on their first night at Fever by The Fadeaways and Billy & The J-Chords, with Rockbottom and Fragments taking over on Sunday.
