Slaughter and the Dogs were founded in 1975 by Wayne Barrett, Mick Rossi, Brian Grantham, Howard Bates and Mike Day. The band name was created by Barrett and is a mix of Slaughter on 10th Avenue and Diamond Dogs . They were one of the first punk rock bands in North West England , and they supported the Sex Pistols at their gig at Manchester Lesser Free Trade Hall on 20 July 1976 . This concert, more than any other single event, spawned Manchester’s punk scene, which was concentrated around the Electric Circus Club . Mike Day left the group after this gig.
