Sounds Like
"With three brothers and sisters in this five piece UNCLE MEAT AND THE HIGHWAY CHILDREN are " tight ". Their sound is reminiscent of ‘Height Ashbury’ after the acid had taken its toll on the people’s heads."
THE CANTEEN
"It’s a psychedelic circus of folk, blues, funk, punk, rock ‘n’ roll, poetry in motion, sailing the seven seas, mushroom and moonboot dreams under trees....."

We are a transatlantic fancy sextet of brothers and sisters setting out to paint our minds, hearts and souls using the beautiful creation that is musical expression. Our biggest inspirations are each other, and our band is based on meat, love and understanding. We formed in Manchester, early 2008 and set out on a busking tour of Holland and France for the Summer. After that we spent time with friends and family in Cheshire writing and rehearsing some 50 songs. At the start of 2009 we moved back to Manchester and lived in Faulty Towers with all the beautiful fools who inhabit her whilst playing all over the North of England with a couple of mini tours of London for good measure. We have played with hundreds of bands including Mischief Brew, Defiance Ohio, Captain Hotknives, Whiskey Bastards, The Autonomads, Boom Pam, Electric Smoke, Gravestone Mind, Sinister Footwear, The Mommeraths, Black Market Karma, The Hormonas and Madeline to name but a few. We have been on a busking tour since July 1st playing around Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Germany, The Basque, Italy, Austria and Spain..... We will be out here until Jan 2010. We have released several limited edition home recordings which were available last year and distributed free at our live shows. This Spring we recorded the EP "Can we play in your Garden" and released it on Pumpkin Records. We have 6 albums in the pipeline which will be released through various labels early next to aswage our musical hunger and hopefully entertain those who are open wide. We will be touring the UK for the first 6 months of next year with a few trips back over to Europa, shortly followed be a tour of US and Canada. Busy, busy bees biting hard on the bared bones.
We love you x

Cheap ugly mugs waiting for the right time to jump into those white wedding gowns and drown ourselves (and you) in the blood of love!
A poem by Datura Stramonium
got meat in my feet and im stamping the beat don't die in retreat lets dance to defeat carnivore elite
on the highway heading south blood of youth around our mouth in the forest heading west life flies by, no time to rest wade in the water heading east on the strange we will feast down the mountain heading north don't look back, forever forth
Just been trying to write a reply to your last message and for whatever reason it just deleted its self. Im fucking fuming. Im gonna have some food and re write it all and send it in a bit.

Gentry Bronson (USA) The punk pianist with a lot of panache
INFO in Dutch_: Een jaar geleden bracht Gentry Bronson zijn Engelstalige versie van de Boudewijn de Groot klassieker Avond uit. Naar aanleiding daarvan bezocht De Groot een optreden van de Amerikaan, complimenteerde Bronson met diens vertolking en nodigde hem uit voor verdere samenwerking. Per email stuurde De Groot enkele vertaalde nummers aan Bronson. Tijdens de komende tournee zal hij zijn bewerkingen hiervan voor het eerst presenteren aan het Nederlandse publiek.
Gentry Bronson is zelf ook een begenadigd songschrijver. Hij werd al eens omschreven als 'Tori Amos met ballen' en vergeleken met Tom Waits, Billy Joel, Michael Stipe en Nick Cave. Op zijn nieuwe EP staan vier nieuwe eigen nummers. Voor deze tracks werkte Bronson samen met diverse muzikanten en engineers uit San Francisco en Los Angeles, waaronder Ken Lee, die onder andere verantwoordelijk was voor de remastering van Nirvana's Nevermind.
De laatste paar jaar heeft Bronson zich echter steeds meer ontwikkeld tot een unieke vakman, componist en een opwindende showman. Met zijn vele live optredens heeft hij enorm aan publiek gewonnen, onder meer onder liefhebbers van rock, pop, americana, folk, jazz, blues en ambient. Tijdens zijn optredens waarbij hij zichzelf op piano begeleidt weet hij bij mensen zowel een gevoelige snaar te raken als hen te vermaken met duivels en bevreemdend bluescabaret dat van zweet is doordrenkt.
