Rock 'n' roll stripped back to it's purest form, built on a smouldering sexbeat.
FLYNN slunk into exsistence in July 2005,formed out of twin motives:a desire to play rock 'n' roll stripped back to it's purest essence and sheer spite.
Originally moulded around the nucleus of throbbing rhythm section Graeme Flynn(Gashead,Bugshifter,Penthouse,Black Moses) on bass and Steve D'Enton(Gashead,Quickspace,Black Moses,Glockenspiel) on drums,they were soon joined by FX&production genius Adrian Dollemore(Polar Remote,Glockenspiel) on guitar.
Having years of experience playing together,Flynn & D'Enton have become an almost telepathic rhythm of unrivalled power and groove.The addition of Dollemore provided all the required sonic colouring and shading for this potent musical brew.
Despite the obvious calibre of the musicians involved,virtuoso noodlings are frowned on-having no place in band inspired by the primeval force of rock 'n' roll.
Then in May 2006,a chance meeting with Bex,a disaffected former cage dancer at London's Electric Ballroom led to her joining the band to share joint lead vocals with Graeme.
Currently recording an as yet untitled lp for Rootbag Records.Stand out tracks so far recorded include 'Mezzanine','Magic Bullet' and 'Everything Is Fucked'.

THE BED PLAY RYANS CHURCH ST STOKE NEWINGTON N16 TONIGHT 9PM
“Rumours of my demise are somewhat exaggerated...”
The town is Blackpool, New Years Eve.
I pick mark up outside the specified Chinese takeaway, he won't tell me his address, I don't ask why. He's carrying a battered acoustic and a large plastic laundry bag full of sheets of paper. We stop for cigarettes and to drop some bottles of wine off at his brothers house. He isn't answering. I end up climbing over the gate to put them in the alley, but the dogs bark at us constantly. We keep the wine.
At the house the old lady smiles and lets us in, she makes tea. The room is time-capsule late 50s; fake stucco ceiling in turquoise and white, plastic candle chandelier, real wood effect wallpaper, cocktail bar, electric log fire, criss-cross shelves full of nick-knacks from family holidays, a photo of a young girl in ballet outfit, faded black and white – the old lady? Plastic double glazing keeps out the sea, a well used piano adds resonance.
Mark sits down and starts playing a medley whilst I fiddle with the recording equipment. Finally I nod to him and hold the 2 stereo mikes up, one to the guitar, one towards his face, he rustles in the bag, pulls out a dog-eared page of words and begins to sing. Song after song. An hour and a half later, when my arms are numb, I'm glad when the old lady interrupts with more tea. There are sheets of paper strewn all over the floor but we've hardly touched the 20 years worth of laundry in his bag.
We open both bottles of wine.
“So what do you call yourself these days?” I ask.
“The Bed.” He replies, making a roll up.
I see all 6 foot 2 of him sprawled out, smiling, imaginary royalty cheques cashed into consumables, contented as a Tudor fat-cat.
“Yeah - like a four poster?” I say.
He stares at me.
“Like a bed of nails....”
