Time: Friday, 2 Dec 11 - 8:30 pmto 3:00 am
Venue: Music Room at the Boston Arms
Bands:
  • Jack Oblivian | See Jack O on Myspace
    Memphis based Jack Oblivian (aka Jack Yarber) was a founding member of the garage-bands The Compulsive Gamblers and The Oblivans but he has contributed to a dizzying array of projects over the years, including Andre Williams, Jack Oblivian & the Tennessee Tearjerkers, The Cool Jerks, '68 Comeback, King Louie & His Loose Diamonds, Greg Oblivian & the Tip Tops, Jack Oblivian & The Cigarillos, The Natural Kicks and Tav Falco's Panther Burns. Jack Oblivian channels the spirit of proto punk as well as blues, country and junkyard rock; his songs embody haunting, echo-y swamp boogie. Jack Oblivian is as near to a legend as you can get in the contemporary garage-rock scene.
  • Harlan T Bobo | See Harlan T Bobo on Myspace
    Arriving in Memphis nine years ago after traveling a route as circuitous as that of any fugitive, Harlan has been busy endearing himself to local fans and soaking up as much of the city's rich musical history as possible. Instead of shedding light on the man behind the music, his intensely personal lyrics have actually served to help perpetuate his enigmatic persona. However, with the release of his second album, I'm Your Man, one thing about Harlan T. Bobo can no longer remain an uncertainty -- his musical talent is the real thing. It's true, the man with a name that could've come straight from A Confederacy of Dunces can write classic heartbreaker songs with the best of 'em.
  • Limes | See Limes on Myspace
    Abandoning any pretext of showiness or pretense, Limes instead play to their strengths – 70s blues guitar & King Missile-esque low, almost spoken vocals, like the Creedence Clearwater Revival on prozac.
Time: Friday, 18 Nov 11 - 8:00 pmto 12:00 am
Venue: The Stag's Head, N1
Brief: FREE ENTRY!
Bands:
  • Terribles | See Les Terribles on Myspace
    For those who love their sixties sounds with a bit of ooh la la, here are Les Terribles. If you thought that France only gave us Sasha Distel and Johnny Halliday, think again. There were French bands that could do the Stones or Yardbirds as good as anyone - but sung in French. And Les Terribles are here to show that they can still do it today.
  • Lord Rochester | See Lord Rochester on Myspace
    Lord Rochester are obsessed with Bo Diddley - and if you're down with the Bo Diddley beat, as any right thinking person should be, you know that can only be a good thing. Resplendant in their tartan togs, these Scottish gentlemen, according to UK Rock magazine, have "a complete understanding of what constitutes rock'n'roll, and then also have the ability to playfully subvert it, while remaining within the genre".
Time: Saturday, 29 Oct 11 - 8:00 pmto 1:00 am
Venue: The Stag's Head, N1
Brief: FREE ENTRY!
Bands:
  • Gravemen | See Thee Gravemen on Myspace
    Raw, wild, horrific, and tons of fun is the best way to describe this two man horror-trash band who are visiting us from southern Sweden. These two English guys aren’t interested in pop fame or hit records. They live in a world of gravestones, monsters, werewolves and haunted houses. Sitting alone in the dark watching vintage Hammer Horror films and waiting for gravedigging jobs is how they spend their days. Like voodoo witchdoctors hunting for prey to turn into zombies, Thee Gravemen stalk the stage, spinning lurid tales of the human predilection for sin and man’s capacity for inflicting suffering on his fellow man, all done with fearsome fuzz-busting guitars and crushing, bone-shaking drumming to a sleazy Fall-like rockabilly beat. With a Screaming Lord Sutch tune on the flipside of this single you know it’s going to be a blood-curdling experience!
  • Rippers (France) | See Ze Rippers on Myspace
    We may have lost Lux Interior, but these Anglo-French road traffic accident obsessives are keeping the horror-punk flamejob alive, building on their brilliantly titled debut EP Songs for the Constipated. Concerned with evil doings, wrong doings, re-animated by the magic of electricity, The Rippers hammer-out horror rock & roll. Given half a chance, they'll slip a sugary tongue into your shell-like before lacerating your ear-drums. If Rob Zombie’s killer sex kitten creation Baby were ever to leave the House of 1000 corpses and run away to join a band, this is the sort of scary siren sounds she’d make.
  • Toyotas | See The Toyotas on Myspace
    Featuring former members of Dean Dirge this German group rips off '77 punk rock with a tinge of ’60s garage to good effect. With songs that are short, sharp, brutal and full of snot-nosed attitude, rough but catchy, and oozing a sense of supreme coolness. Like the Hives but without the showbiz frills and pretentiousness, these guys are gonna rock your socks off.
Time: Thursday, 15 Sep 11 - 7:30 pm
Venue: The 100 Club
Brief: Tav Falco & the Panther Burns King Kurt Sterling Roswell Miraculous Mule First band on at 7.45pm sharp!
Bands:
  • Tav Falco's Panther Burns | See Panther Burns on Myspace
    Vocalist Tav Falco started Tav Falco's Panther Burns "orchestra" in February 1979 with drummer Ross Johnson, guitarist Alex Chilton, and synth player Eric Hill, in Memphis, Tennessee. Over the years since then a number of musicians from the Memphis, New Orleans, and New York areas worked with Falco in the group, recording albums on indie labels like Rough Trade, Triple X, New Rose, In the Red, Last Call and others. A "best of" compilation called Love's Last Warning collects some of the songs from more than a dozen albums and mini-albums released by Falco over the years.
Time: Thursday, 8 Sep 11 - 8:00 pmto 11:00 pm
Venue: The Stag's Head, N1
Brief: FREE ENTRY!
Bands:
  • Minnesota Voodoo Men | See Minnesota Voodoo Men on Myspace
    Whilst the Minnesota Voodoo Men can't speak English and have absolutely no idea where Minnesota is, they are in fact rock'n'roll at its absolute best. Reports of their live shows talk of them playing a great Yardbirds cover (in Japlish, or possibly Engrish) and stage acrobatics to leave you breathless. The band's music is based on the classic rhythm'n'blues influenced groups of the mid-1960s, like the formerly mentioned Yardbirds, Petty Things, Rolling Stones, etc. But from all we've heard they use their influences as a starting point to do nothing less than entertain, making the audience hold their breath and wonder whatever could happen next.
  • King Salami & the Cumberland 3 | See King Salami on Myspace

    The King howls like Screaming Jay Hawkins with Bo Diddley chasing his coat-tail and with Andre Williams trying to offer up some of his bacon fat. This man never stops shakin' and twistin' and groovin' while the Cumberland 3 (former members of the Ulcers, Chinese Lungs and Parkinsons) play their own branded mix of vintage rockabilly desperate rock'n'roll and a bit of soul with fire, energy, gusto and fun!

Bands:
  • Muck & the Mires | See Muck & the Mires on Myspace

    The number one garage band in the USA – winners of Little Steven Van Zandt’s nationwide "Battle of the Bands" – they play classic garage rock’n’roll that sounds like it's come off the Nuggets album but yet isn't afraid to fly the flag for what the Yanks call the British Invasion sounds at the same time. Their new album, "Hypnotic", produced by Kim Fowley, will be out soon on Dirty Water Records.

  • Vicars | See Thee Vicars on Myspace

    Teenage rock'n'roll terrorists from the small town of Bury St Edmunds on a mission to kung-fu kick all the boring bands out of existence! Real raw and vintage sounding garage-rock'n'roll! Their single, Don't Try To Tell Me, came out on Dirty Water Records earlier this year. Their debut album, "Back on the Streets", came out on Dirty Water Records last year. A second single, You Lie, is out now and brand new album "Psychotic Beat!", which heads in a more sixties garage direction away from the Childish-inspired punky debut - released on 15 December - has been getting great reviews.

  • MFC Chicken | See MFC Chicken on Myspace
    Formed on top of the prestigious chicken shop of the same name, MFC Chicken came onto this earth for one purpose, and one purpose only: to resurrect real rock and roll music and enjoy the finest fried chicken. Alright, that is two purposes. And we might even add a third purpose: to get your beautiful butts out on the dancing floor. Raw, sax-fueled rock and roll/ rhythm and blues tunes are always on the menu, so come down the the MFC Chicken shack and shake it on out with us.Influences: Little Richard, The (fabulous) Wailers, The Sonics, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Milkshakes, all the best and swingin'-est records from 1949 to 65, lloyd price.
Time: Friday, 26 Aug 11 - 8:00 pmto 1:00 am
Venue: Hector's House, Brighton
Bands:
  • Masonics | See The Masonics on Myspace
    Bruce Brand writes: "The Masonics - a winning combination of Milkshakes, Pop Rivets, Wildebeests, Kaisers, film editors, Micky & Ludellas, Vectors, Headcoats, commercial artists, Kravin "A"s, Auntie Vegetables and landscape gardeners. (Not bad, seeing as there's only three of 'em.)" In short, this is garage rock'n'roll at its finest.

  • Fabulous Penetrators | See The Fabulous Penetrators on Myspace
    The Penetrators sound like Hound Dog Taylor and Bo Diddley having a good old medieval jousting session with their gee-tars to the voice of the rotting corpse of John Lennon, a melodic French dwarf and an over-sexed bear, with the drummer from Slayer just having heard Little Richard for the first time.
  • Sundae Kups | See The Sundae Kups on Myspace
    These boys are coming all the way from Coronado Bay, San Diego, California! Having met whilst working at the local Dairy Queen serving ice cream, they got together to play guitar instrumental tunes, under the guidance of their mentor, the surf sensei Soundpapa (himself a hero in his home town of Hakodate, Japan). The Sundae Kups have already travelled to England, where they won over many crowds at the legendary Diplo, Scooterworks & Teen Bop parties. Such a success was their previous visit that they are returning for an extended stay. So get down to their uncontrollable dance dance frenzy now now now!

Bands:
  • Kits | See The Kits on Myspace
    These Melbourne natives have a sound that’s a blend of garage rock’n’roll from various parts of the globe. Their debut (Australian) release, "This Is Your Lung", showers you with a wall of howling vocals, thick, mud-drenched guitars and pounding rhythms. They teeter on the brink, like the sensation you get when you almost lose control of your car, just to recover in the nick of time. Their debut album, "Primitive Tales", is out now on Dirty Water Records. This is their last gig in London before returning to their native Australia.
  • Dandies | See The Dandies on Myspace
    Gathering around a shared love of classic American rock'n'roll like the Kings of Leon, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Velvet Underground and The Strokesm The Dandies' love of music thrust them onto the stage with a burning ambition to create their own piece of history. They take the best elements of indie and punk and combine them to pump out energetic garage rock anthems packed with big hooks and infectious choruses.
