Gravedale High was formed back in 2006 by Evildave and Hellvis with one purpose - playing kick ass horror-themed punk rock! Renfield and Filthy Chas were quickly recruited to guitar and bass, and original sticksman Dr. Ded completed the lin up. After a period of writing and rehearsing, they thrilled crowds at the Cricketer's Rest with their first show, on halloween of 2006. Dr. Ded was replaced by Jimmy Gore on skins, finishing off the Original line up.
More gigs followed over the next year, including an appearance at the 2007 Eastern Haze festival, before the band took a year long hiatus while EvilDave left to play with THE GRAVEYARD JUNKIES. Hellvis and Jimmy Gore have now parted ways with the band and have been replaced by ASH on drums and Adrian Crowley on vocals, completing the new and current line-up
When the sun goes down this Halloween there's only one place to head to for some graveyard stomping DJs playing the best in psychobilly, rockabilly and punk rock'n'roll and three of the finest and most energetic rockin' bands in the business....
GO GO CULT come to town for the very first time with their surf, garage, punk sound (featuring Bill Fadden!). These recent signings to Western Star are heavily influenced by The Cramps, Link Wray, GG Allin and The Sonics. www.myspace.com/thegogocult
LUNA VEGAS come to howl in the Moon rather than at it! Another Western Star artist, they have made quite an impact with their frantic live shows and excellent debut cd. www.myspace.com/lunavegas
Tonight’s headliners, SHAKEOUT are without a doubt the finest Psycho rockin' outfit in East Anglia, a title they truly deserve following a lengthy career that has seen them share the stage with bands including The Meteors, Guana Batz and King Kurt. www.myspace.com/shakeoutpsycho
If that's not enough, there's also prizes for the most fiendish fancy dress, DJs playing into the night, drink promotions, and stalls selling cds, band merchandise and handmade clothing and accessories from Jezebelles boutique.

ICH - Arguably the finest punk band to come out of East Anglia, the last 5 years have seen this band become a local phenomenon and they've just played at the prestigious Rebellion punk festival. Mere words can't describe their live performances, you have to see the band for yourself! ICH have been known to blow ageing punk bands off the stage and even incited stage diving at their unplugged gigs. With sharply observed lyrics and a barrage of guitars, ICH's punk anthems will have you punching the air and shouting along 'til the cider runs out. www.myspace.com/ichcolchesterpunx
WIGSVILLE SPLIFFS - The Wigsville Spliffs are rollin’ into Cambridge for a rare show at the Man on the Moon. Formed back in the late 70’s the band played authentic 50’s style rockabilly and by the mid 80’s they had set the local scene on fire and become regulars at London’s infamous Klubfoot, playing with Restless, Guana Batz and Demented are Go amongst others. Fast forward to 2008, Wigsville Spliffs reform for a show stopping come back at the Bedlam Breakout Psychobilly Festival and follow that with a “jaw dropping” set at the Satanic Stomp festival in Germany in April 2009. With a harder and heavier sound and a new release imminent on the legendary Raucous Records the “spliffs” are back!
