HILLBILLY MOON EXPLOSION
************************

• Roots rock revivalists with their fourth studio album!
• Now surfaced from the rockabilly underground, touring across Europe, on TV, supporting Jeff Beck and turning down Eurovision.
• Forthcoming single features duet by HME’s Emanuela and ‘Sparky’ of Demented Are Go; with a new video just filmed.

The Hillbilly Moon Explosion are a pan-European rock’n’roll band with much flair and a fast growing fan-base. They’re fronted by the Italian-Swiss songstress Emanuela Hutter and English exile singer and slap bassist Oliver Baroni, ably backed by English guitarist Duncan James and Swiss drummer Luke 'The Puke' Weyermann.

Emerging from the rockabilly scene in their home base of Zurich, they recently turned down an invitation to be the Swiss Eurovision entry. Known to some for their mini-hit ‘Johnny Are You Gay?’, a recent retrospective has propelled them gigging across Europe, including TV shows and a tour supporting Jeff Beck climaxing at the legendary Paris Olympia. A viral Cinéma vérité video from that album has attracted over 50,000 views: http://youtu.be/bANSizYxh-w

A single ‘My Love For Evermore’ precedes the album, on 7” and download. It’s a dark duet by Emanuela and guest Spark Phillips of infamous, wayward psychobilly band Demented Are Go, assisted by Geraint Watkins on organ, and backed with a rockabilly guitar cover of ‘Enola Gay’. A new ‘Bonnie & Clyde style’ video was filmed over 3 days and will be launched on the single release date. Stills from the shoot can be seen here: http://on.fb.me/ia21CJ

GRAVEYARD JOHNNYS
******************

One of the most frantic and energetic live bands around today, Graveyard Johnnys mix the primitive rhythms and animal-instinct of 1950's rockabilly with the aggression and passion of punk rock from back when it was dangerous.

Non-stop touring thoughout Europe and Scandinavia and heavy rotation on The Radio1 Punk Show has helped them sell out pressing after pressing of their first EP and set them up for their debut full length album due to be released this winter on Wolverine. This is intense, on the edge of collapse, breakneck, 21st Century rock and roll at it's wildest"
