Bo Pepper is one hot rocking band! Uh-huh! They are quite lazy but when they make music
it is good. Their influences are Blondie, Sparks, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Killers, The Strokes and knitted folk. The band have been together for just ten months but already they are more than a bit popular and they look well fit in a certain light. Bo Pepper have created some amazing demos in main songwriter Dolly’s bedroom and they are ready to shower you with their hotness. One of these demos, "Blinkandyou'llmissit!", recorded for about 10p is currently all over the radio, despite the band still being unsigned.

PRESS QUOTES:
"CHEEKY up-and-coming band BO PEPPER know how to get Bizarre fame — by giving it a mention in their video.
The new single, No One But Yourself To Blame, is out on iTunes on Monday and the video is a cracker.
The group, fronted by stunning singer DOLLY PEPPER, are soon off to LA to work with producer GREG WELLS." The Sun, 21st June 2008
"Sharp and sassy punk-pop from battle of the band-winning tips for 2008, Bo Pepper."
Time Out, 2008
"How is it possible that UK-based Bo Pepper remains unsigned when Perez Hilton has decreed that it should be otherwise? Their utterly brilliant indie heart bleeds "bitter pop sounds," and will leave you oozing red on the dance floor. Single "I'm Bored" is the most unboring unsigned track to come out of the UK this year."
Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle, March 2008
“Bo Pepper, a London band currently tipped for big things “
Sophie Heawood, ‘The Times’ newspaper
“This puppet-fronted video is putting Bo on the map”
‘Music Week’, Playlist, 2007.
“Bo Pepper’s requiems to love gone wrong are strangely appealing.”
Dazed and Confused magazine, 2007.
"If you love the Yeah Yeah Yeahs or The Gossip, then you will love Bo Pepper. We love discovering new bands, and this one doesn't even have a record deal yet! Fronted by a feisty female and hailing from Britain, Bo Pepper rocks us hard.”
Perez Hilton, www.perezhilton.com, 2007.
“Well written numbers like this (“Buses”) demonstrate why they've already connected with a wide audience without a record deal as yet”
Record Of The Day, www.recordoftheday.com 2007
“‘I’m Bored’ conjures up images of PJ Harvey recording with The Gossip’s rhythm section filtering in from next door…Radio 2 could even take a liking to this with its KT Tunstall-turned-upside-down-and-brought-up-on-The-Stooges feel.”
Rockfeedback, (Future Sounds Section), www.rockfeedback.com, 2007.
“Hiding behind their puppet mascot, Bo Pepper are a female-fronted indie band with an almost famous singer who has worked with some of the biggest names in music.
Channel 4 TV
Bo Pepper's track, "Buses" recently secured the synch for an online Coca cola advertisement, with across the board exposure from NME to Q magazine. "Buses" has already been featured on the album, "UK:ONE the New Music Collection- Coca-Cola Soundwave", available to purchase via Itunes, where it garnered a front page feature w/c 20.02.07. In fact, XFM DJ Eddy Temple Morris personally handpicked the band to appear.
The band are constantly gigging their superhot set around Europe and generally sweating it out onstage at the likes of the Apple Store, Islington Carling Academy, The Dublin Castle, the Hoxton Bar and Kitchen and The Soho Revue.
They have already supported the likes of Sparks, Cage The Elephant, Pete And The Pirates, Bombay Bicycle Club, Asobi Seksu, and Quad Riot and played a gig for MTV Italy in Florence. Gabriella Cilmi recently supported them at the Apple Store. Come see ‘em play!!!

Hi. Have you considered Sellaband (www.sellaband.com) as a way to get more support? It may be worth considering. It's a shame that Bo Pepper hasn't reached a wider audience. Personally, I love 'Buses', 'I'm Bored' and 'I Haven't Got You Anything'. I quite like the associated videos too.
As ever, after the bands the dancetillyoudie DJs bring the noise till the early hours, ably assisted by the wonderful art.war VJs - big-screen pictures, and big-time music! £5 on the door, or £4 if you message us by 5pm!
