THE SILVER BRAZILIANS
http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Si...s/101712008164
Mexican traffic accidents, terrorist girlfriends and Milton Keynes massage parlours appear to be uppermost in the minds of The Silver Brazilians if their particular brand of ‘stripped to the chassis hoodlum rhythm & blues' is anything to go by. Taking traditional twelve-bar mayhem and giving it a contemporary twist these ‘down home’ garage punks made their live debut with The Charlatans in July 2007. 
The following year saw the release of their first E.P ‘Iraqdonalds’ and headlining the Strummerville Foundation for New Music event in Hollywood, California. Inspired by their West Coast experience the following release ‘Fender Car Disaster’ - featured the song ‘Kate Winslet’ – deemed ‘Coolest song in the world’ on Little Steven Van Zandt's Underground Garage Radio show. 
Since then the SB's have shared stages with The Jim Jones Revue, The Godfathers, The Selector, The Blockheads, Vintage Trouble and Wilko Johnson. 2010 saw their first European dates in Sweden and Germany and their third E.P 'Do You Remember the Future Baby?' featured on BBC Radio 2. 

“A lovely cracking little band” 
(Andrew Loog Oldham)

THE LEGENDARY GROOVYMEN
http://www.facebook.com/TheLegendaryGroovymen
Way back in early 1963, 'Baron von Schnaachsniffter and his Groovymen' begun "Shakin' all over!". Their first 45, a quadruple 'A' side e.p. was released in the spring of '65. “Groovymen, Groovywomen”, "Melanie", "With a girl like you" and "Hi Heel Sneekers" went to No. 2 in Luxembourg and No.3 in Lichtenstein. There followed a string of gigs, at least one a month, and recording discs. All now very very very rare. In April 1977 the Baron was tragically killed in a bizarre scootering accident, while fixing his Lambretta LD150 combination. When he was buried in Garth Road pet cemetry, dozens lined the route of his funeral cortege which included outriders from the Mitcham Goons Scooter Club of which the Baron was a founder member. Unsurprisingly, The Grooveymen decided to have a cup of tea and a think and they sadly put their instruments on top of the wardrobe for a bit. 
Fast forward to now and The Groovymen are back and wanting to entertain you. Now proudly bearing the "Legendary" moniker bestowed upon them by The Garage Punk Hall of Fame, playing all the olde crowd pleasing favourites. The original Groovymen are all still there, minus the Baron of course - 'cos he's not been "Dug from the Rubble" (yet), still playing with all the verve, fire and skill of 14 year old beginners, and all for your grooving pleasure.
Starring
Paul Phillips (Mr. Angry)-Rickenbacker/Italia Guitar and Vocals.
Phil Gentry (Mr. Squidly Diddly)-Ludwig Drums and Vocals.
Barry Frost (Mr. Grumpy)-Hofner Bass and Vocals.
So pin back your lugholes, get your ear defenders ready, turn your speed knob up to 78rpm. Turn the Hi-Fi high and the lights down low.

LIVE:
GO!ZILLA
http://www.facebook.com/gozillatheband
Explosive, infected psychedelic garage blues duo formed in Florence Italy last year, influenced by West Coast sounds and garage 45's of the 60's.
"An example of modern day acid punk...Back To The Grave is starting to feel like a walk in the park compared to the contents here....All in all these are decent and horrifying songs, well written and recorded for maximum punkadelic impact" - Shindig!

THE FRANKLYS
http://www.facebook.com/thefranklys
An international female quartet consisting of Swedes Jennifer & Fanny, English rose Zoë and Yank Nicole. Screaming 60’s guitars, driving bass and Keith Moon-esque drumming the girls mix rock’n’roll with catchy melodies & punky riffs.
"This is classic old school rock, this is riotous girl rebellion...above all, this is frankly something you should be getting yourself some of" - Shindig!

THE CULLIONS
http://www.facebook.com/thecullions
The Cullions are a North London band formed in late 2010 by Mike and Antony over a shared love of 60s bands. Later joined by Rich and Finn they've been rehearsing, recording and gigging as a 4 piece. Think The Yardbirds. Think The Doors. Think The Kinks. Influenced by the best of the 60s, they have a sound that is original, yet reminiscent of the bands of that decade.

THE TEAMSTERS
http://www.facebook.com/TeamstersMusic
When Tom H. Wing & Nathan Persad were brought together by their love of all things '1962', they recognised that there was a lack of authentic mersey beat groups on the London scene, some were close (but no cigar!). So they decided to form The Teamsters and called upon the services of Rapier Nathan J Hulse to complete their new band. The general consensus was Beatle Boots, The Big Three and vintage gear. Curious yet? Well, come and see for yourself whether the word on the street is true, presenting The fabulous Teamsters!
