All Bands

'Oxford's Skatalites'!! Magnificent UK based seven piece combo playin' authentic, swinging ska & shufflin' rhythm n blues. Original sound and original tunes! The band has so far releases two great 45rpm releases on their own Nine Ton Records and Jewels Records, France. The vast majority of their material is self penned. They have played such venues and events as the Jazz Cafe and Cargo (London), Gaz's Rockin' Blues and Dance La Ska Festival in Rennes (France).

Oxfordshire's finest sons - plus Bash Brand - get together to create a great musical hybrid.  Debut single out on Dirty Water in October 2011 "Break My Fall" b/w "Dr. Strangelove".

Direct from London, The Dustaphonics is the band of Healer Selecta, producer, musician, DJ and club entrepreneur & founder of the legendary Raison d'Etre Collective, where musicians and like minded vintage music fans have been gathering for 10 years, the collective is supported by legendary figures of r & b, soul and r'n'r as Bo Diddley (RIP), Spanky Wilson, Wanda Jackson or the very cult actress Tura Satana,

When their “Dial ‘E’ for Excitement” EP (Dirty Water) was released, NME said:  "Conforming to the rule that any band who spell “The” with two “e”s will always be beer-soaked garage rockers, the second single from Thee Exciters comprises four songs, each more beer-soaked and garage-rockin’ than the last.

Hailing from gritty Mexico City, Los Explosivos are in the vanguard of the new breed of young punks carrying the torch of Garage Rock!

After a stint in New York City as drummer for Dan Melchior's Broke Revue, GD Mills (aka Sir Gregory Fuck Knight) packed up two drums, a cymbal, two sticks and a microphone and headed west to Minneapolis on an art school scholarship. In the aftermath of a violent 'destruction of school property' performance which ultimately lead to his expulsion, Mills formed Fuck Knights in 2007 with bassist Joe Holland on the very same day as the I-35W bridge collapse.

Raw, wild, horrific, and tons of fun is the best way to describe this two man horror-trash band 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.  Sir Lee Tea plays the guitar and wails, while Devilish Daz pounds the stripped down drumset. 

"Britain's best kept secret" - Maximum Rock 'n' Roll

Hipbone Slim and the Kneetremblers play proper rock n roll! Their set features a mixture of rock n roll, rockabilly, surf, rhythm n blues, beat and garage.

This Toledanian three piece was formed in the beginning the new century and their furious, high-energy maniacal shows are legendary all over Europe.

Four persons started Hollywood Sinners but they are now only 3 (they don’t need any more), and with the new drummer, Marco from Niddles and other crazy garage combos, they are getting even wilder, if that's possible.

Formed by ex-Parkinsons front-man Afonso, and including former members of Menace, The Shakin’ Nasties, the Jackoffs, the Chinese Lungs, the Stains and Urban Shocks, Johnny Throttle have been playing drunken, beer-soaked gigs since the tail end of 2008. They play snotty, moronic and straight-to-the-point gonzo-garage punk rock, banging out a furious 20-minute (smoking ban-friendly) set of short and catchy songs that bring to mind something like Slaughter and the Dogs meet the Electric Eels. This is probably London’s best punk rock band, and definitely the snottiest.

Adventurous garage rock’n’roll scientists THE KITS are soon to
deliver their second album, ‘Lead Us Into Temptation’. They’ve teamed up with
producer Chris Bailey (leader of punk pioneers and fellow ex-pats The Saints)
to create a mind-expanding, genre-challenging catalogue.

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.)

Thee Vicars are a wyld 3 piece Garage/R&B band from a small town in the east of england. Since first getting brought together by their combined hatred for modern music, they have brought their music around Europe and America converting many to their sounds along the way. Brought up on a strict diet of bands such as The Downliners Sect, The Seeds, ? And The Mysterians, The Artwoods, Shadows Of Knight, Howlin' Wolf and Chuck Berry, Thee Vicars are here with their own raw sound that should make any listeners get down n shake it!

Ah, The bloody Wildebeests, true purveyors of the 'Dimbo beat' and all round Din meisters... These three lairds have been polluting the world's ears for what seems like an eternity now what with each members previous bands and with the sheer volume of recordings, records and gigs that they've seen fit to unleash upon an unsuspecting public.
