THE BANDS:
THE METEORS have cared little for trends or fashions, which surely goes some way in showing the reason they have been able to deliver groundbreaking work with such consistency, ever since their debut album 'In Heaven', to their latest crazed offering 'Hymns for The Hellbound'
Currently enjoying phenomenal success in the United States, THE METEORS will be showing exactly why they have been described as nothing less than dangerous.
Under the direction of lead singer and guitarist P.Paul Fenech, THE METEORS took the basics of 1950's Rockabilly and injected it with such ‘punked up’ venom that it could only be called one thing - PSYCHOBILLY.
15 years on stage and none of BROILERS has even hit the dirty 30 yet. Eat your heart out Lemmy. BROILERS recorded one of the most anticipated albums last year. "VANITAS" shapes up to become a milestone in german underground /alternative music. "VANITAS" shows more than ever that the band has balls (except for Ines) and that they are not scared of development, personal and musicwise. A fusion of Punkrock, Oi!, Reggae, Rock-a-billy and Soul. So whats next? Fuck, who knows? Guess its all up to you guys out there.
Loud, mean, fast & dirty! There is really no better way to describe this speedrock-trio from Holland . With their new album "Pursuit Until Capture" in the pocket, the band is ready for another dose of sheer rock 'n roll - both on CD as on stage. This new album is filled with pure and honest rock: rock 'n roll, hardrock, rockabilly and speedrock. "Pursuit Until Capture" is without a doubt the most varied album till date: stripped down to the bone, but still having the typical and distinct sound that makes the band so special and different. Till this far PETER PAN SPEEDROCK has played over 1500 shows in the whole of Europe and USA. If it's up to Peter, Bartmann and Bart, there will be at least 1250 more....
After effortlessly wiping the floor with big names TIGER ARMY, BROILERS, GOLDBLADE, AGGROLITES and KING KURT, letting THE GRIT loose as curtain-callers is like tying a red rag on Lemmy, a quart of Jack Daniels to a bull and letting the twain tussle. Meanwhile, closing time streetlamp lurch Whoever You Are make this beer-quaffing baton-race a brilliant punk and psychobilly bath in noxious bonhomie that would make the most introverted plead for indulgence.
Utterly captivating, with immense stage presence, character, intensity, plus a crafty finesse beneath the stage antics. Tipping the hat of hyperbole aside, this will go down s ‘one of those gigs’. Call it ‘Star Power’ but THE GRIT possess it in spades, pitchforks, trowels, wheelbarrows and quite possibly flymos too. Phenomenal.
From Los Angeles, The Deep Eynde continues to be one of the last remaining bands that were part of the Hollywood underground movement of the early 1990’s. Founded by leadsinger Fate Fatal, The Deep Eynde has grown from a performance art project into a musical force, and although their music is extremely hard to categorize, THE DEEP EYNDE has become a cornerstone of the American underground scene. Their 2005 release, Shadowland, on Duane Peters’ (U.S. Bombs) Disaster Records, is a terrific fusion of what the band had been- a strictly gothic-style band- and their new approach to making music, which integrated older material and presented it in a new way. Their release of BLACKOUT marks the band’s return to a darker, organic sound. “My Darkest Hour” and “Scream”, recorded in 2008, have been described as “classic Deep Eynde”.
Over the last 10 years I have been playing in numerous bands and projects, successfully managing to stay on the verge of wider recognition. Still I can say that music is the reason I get up in the morning. In the afternoon at least. I am never at one place, not one that I call home anyway. Nothing that didn't have wheels under it. For the last year or so I have started to play occasional accoustic shows, often with my dear friend Smail Shock. The sets mainly consisted of cover versions of the songs by Hank Williams, Billy Bragg, Townes van Zandt, Joe Strummer, Johnny Cash and Woody Guthrie. Hence, this inspired me to record and perform my very own material as a solo artist alongside my participation in the CORNER BOYS.
