Event information
From the ashes of ace Irish Garage band The Strypes, who enjoyed substantial international success from supporting the Arctic Monkeys on their ‘AM’ world tour to celebrated appearances on Letterman and Conan as well as 3 Top 10 albums in the UK and beyond.
The band folded just before Covid but now First Strype Evan has formed The Savage Hearts, with debut single ‘Gang War’ hitting No 1 on the Irish downloads chart, some major festival appearances and support slots with acts such as The Boomtown Rats and The Undertones.
Tonight this cracking punk n roll outfit head up a carefully hand picked showcase by Evan and Bugbear of local kick ass, garage rock talent. Will be a grand little Rock and Roll party…with…
Sweet Retreat – blistering lead guitar, an impressively wayward frontman, and a supercool, super confident stage presence, these guys combine raw edgy rock n roll with classic indie nuances (Suede, Manics). Great band.
The Velvet Fuzz – as heard on many spanking releases, including the wonderful er, ‘Wonderful’, and latest banger ‘Stunned Into Silence’, the Velvet Fuzz excel in slinky, psychedelic pop with oohs and aahs and lots of sardonic sass. Bloody ace. Oh and they played FIVE - count em- times at Glastonbury Festival last year! And we also have…
The Sick Fix – who actually ain’t from Camden Town, but another Dirty Old Town…A garage punk band of 4 x 15/16 year-olds from Manchester with influences from the Libertines, Dead Boys, the Chats, New York Dolls, The Jam, The Clash, Buzzcocks and so much more. But as they rightly say ‘The genre we make is pretty much are own… loud, fast and energetic’
DJ Sammy Starr til 2am
