This 9-Piece band hails from Barnsley in South Yorkshire fusing together a
modern twist on the ska genre; incorporating swing grooves and a punk ideology taking
influence from a wide range of bands from ‘The Clash’ to ‘Glen Miller’ and all that lies in
-between, a sound which they have affectionately termed, ‘swing-core ska/punk’.
The band consists of Jamie Smith (Vocals & Bass), Dave Moulin (Vocals & Guitar), Alex Smith
(Drums & Percussion), Ben Stephenson (Lead Guitar), Richard 'Titch' Deane (Keyboards), Tim Rivers
(Tenor Sax), Chloe Gray (Baritone/Alto Sax), Dave Pantinuchi (Trumpet) and Stephan
Bainbridge (Trombone).
Over the past 4 years since their formation, the band has built up a reputation for being
one of the hardest working acts on the UK ska scene, entrancing the audience with their
frantic stage show and sassy live swagger. Notching up over a 100 gigs a year, the band has
built up a strong and loyal fan base from across the UK and Europe.
Catch-it Kebabs have 2 albums already available: ‘Skankin’ Sausages (Do the Dog/Feet First,
2004) and ‘Return of the Kebabulance’ (Riot/Feet First, 2006). Although both albums received
rave reviews, it was the maturity of ROTK which turned heads in the media. Brandon Allin
from the biggest US online punk-zine, ‘Absolute Punk’ wrote: “A strong and distinct, and
equally a wonderful release”.
Recently the band had a track from their latest CD used on an international ska compilation,
Ska is Dead. Their track, ‘Bluelight’, features alongside some of the worlds biggest ska
acts, including ‘The Planet Smashers’, ‘Voodoo Glowskulls’ and ‘The Toasters’
The future is looking rosy, with their 3rd album currently in the demo stages; it is looking
likely that the CD will be released in spring 2008. Blending more Latin and Calypso stylings
than the previous records, the album is sure to be a bouncy party album from start to
finish.
