No-one else, we hope! But it's been said that we sound like Simon and Garfunkel having something we won't mention being done to them by Rage Against The Machine...

Fuelled by heartbreak and hangovers, and with influences ranging from Mars Volta, to King Crimson, to Nick Drake, London-based My Pet Junkie are a very distinctive three-piece.
My Pet Junkie have released two self-funded CDs and launched their debut album When You're Not Busy at the Garage (main venue) in October 2004, setting a new attendance record at the venue for a support band. A resulting Garage (main venue) headline slot in March 2005 again shocked promoters as My Pet Junkie wowed a crowd of hundreds.
My Pet Junkie have toured the country in promotion of what has been a DIY project to the last. They have maintained a solid and ever-increasing fan base through playing regular, successful gigs as a part Londons underground scene, and recently impressed mainstream crowds at the London Astoria 2, Rhythms of the World Festival (headline slot), Camden Underworld (which was filmed for broadcast on Alternative Music Television), and the Kentish Town Forum supporting Ned's Atomic Dustbin.
Thrilling to watch, with a truly unique style and songs that are at once both beautiful and bizarre, My Pet Junkie are London's best-kept secret.

SEVEN is incredibly proud to present a night of laughs and brilliant musicianship with ADRIAN EDMONDSON and THE BAD SHEPHERDS!
Saturday May 23rd
"The Bad Shepherds play punk songs on folk instruments. Not as a gag, but because we really like the noise. We think the songs are better than people remember. We love folk instruments. It works.
We do songs by The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Stranglers The Jam, Sham 69, The Undertones, Talking Heads, Squeeze and others, even Kraftwerk! Alright, they're not all punk, but they come from roughly the same era.
We've mostly given the songs a kind of Celtic feel, and we've stuck in the odd reel and jig here and there. But occassionally we just thrash! I've always thought the excitement of a reel taking off is the nearest thing to the excitement of watching punk live in the 70's."
