Sounds Like
"This band of Prestonian misfits deliver sample soaked punnets of strawberry electronica, sweet yet with a bitter aftertaste.. floor shakingly bass ridden and crossing genres from Drum and Bass, Rock, Pop, Alt and dirt. Expect blood, sweat and tears, and finish with double cream"
Dognoise

"Bikini Black Special introduce themselves with full horror-movie ambience, before launching into a remarkably dark and dense performance. Their debut is a whirl of thunderous percussion, drifting synths and suffocating bass..."
HedMag

"Electro-rock with an acid tongue, the palpable energy was clear from the start; a sense of erotic charge and electric expectation."
UndeReview

"Tonight they are a nuclear storm, the walls vibrating under the bass. Nowhere is this better demonstrated than in the band’s signature anthem 'Black Hat/All Rise', at the moment when the clouds break and the swirling envelopment of one part gives way to the shafts of light of the other. It’s the highlight of the set."
Prestone

"BBS play with gut and determination. With lyrics that make you feel good to be in a bad, bad world and music that’s focused and darkly subversive."

TALK TO US on our dedicated forum at prestone.co.uk!

Bikini Black Special like beats, and synths, and guitars, and drums, and big fat bass, and more synths, and electronic gizmos, guns, knives and sharp sticks. With this in mind they formed a band which brought all these elements together. Except the guns, knives, and sharp sticks - because that would be irresponsible.

You can buy t-shirts, CDs and tickets at the BIKINI BLACK SPECIAL SHOP - just click here!

Picture everyone you know in a black bikini. It lets you know right off the bat how far your relationship will go with them. If he is over 300 pounds and working construction, you know right there, you can never be more than friends.

Hahahaha!!
Ummm well...you will laugh about this...I heard the name on Who wants to be a millionaire. It was probably a LONG time ago for you over there but, it was just on last night here. hahaha. Maybe i could be that tiny link into NZ that could make you huge.

Just searching for a cd and came across the Digby recording from the Corner Club. My god, my vocals were awfull! I think I'd blacked that one out!

Also found the old Tamagochi Girl and Hibernator Demos. Brought back some good memories.

Now, must unearth the 2nd Uberdog demo!

Met a couple of you guys at the Radio 1 unsigned band advice thingy... can't remember what Radio 1 called it.

I had a listen to your stuff as well. Tyson said your stuff was a bit unusual, you guys are good. Got a kinda Indie come Electronica vibe going on.
