Bristol based CALL THE DOCTOR formed in Nov 08, born of a mutual love of danceable but dirty guitar sounds. 22 year old vocalist Patti Aberhart was reared in Wellington, New Zealand and moved to the UK in the summer of 2008. Her band of troublemakers are the British bred animal doctor Robert Hallworth on riffs, hairy witchdoctor Chris Davis on basslines and the handsome next Doctor Who John Raftery on beat duties. Fed up of seeing kids choosing pop and indie discos over live music thanks in part to a deluge of dreary coldplay/snow patrol wannabees, CALL THE DOCTOR's raucous live shows are making gigs fun again. Comparisons with YYYs, The Pixies, The Kills, Neil Young and PJ Harvey are flattering but it is CALL THE DOCTOR who will be the inspiration for the next generation of music makers. As Bristol's legendary 'Venue' magazine said:
“...all the elements are in place for this Bristol foursome to make waves”..................More likely a tsunami.... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is Henry (the guy who viewed the house yesterday). Liking the music! If I'm about in Bristol on Saturday I'll pop along to the Hatchet. BTW, this is my 'band' type thing - The Shines, we haven't recorded much yet so we don't really have anything to put up yet apart from a very basic demo of a chorus
This month on Dandelion Radio I play a track by Call The Doctor on my queer-feminist punk/electro/underground monthly radio show. You can listen to the show throughout the month of December at a different time each day at www.dandelionradio.com. The revolution starts here!
Hey Rob, thanks for the message which I somehow overlooked. Yes- great to meet you too. I'll add you to the Kerterver cartzo page when we sort it out. Best tim
I was the the last summer in London and then in a little village near Yorkshire. It was amazing you know but i barely speak english... haaha Nice to meet you Rob, i´m Aitana.
"Running With Scissors" by Call The Doctor on my radio show, The British Breakfast on WRIR 97.3FM Richmond, Virginia USA this Saturday and streamed live on www.wrir.org from 9-11AM EST which is 5 hours behind UK Time. Be sure to check out my other show, Songs From the Big Hair, all 80's neato stuff from 3-5PM also on Saturday EST and five hours behind the UK.
Just for two days? What a pity... So you come to Madrid or other city? Hahahah yes... Bristol and London is very far from here. Maybe one day you will play in Spain. It would be a pleasure :)
Thank you for your friendship and kind words. Excellent produce on your myspace! I used to be based in Bristol and would have loved to have caught you play on home ground. Thanks again, J.x
