About sixty watt bayonets (EP available for pre-order!)
Sixty Watt Bayonets are a female fronted garage-punk band from
Reading, Berkshire. Sixty Watt Bayonets have been played on the legendary KROQ-FM radio station in Los Angles, as well as being tipped by Larry Little (ex-the Killers manager). We have also been played on Germany’s Popscene radio show, Macedonian radio, BBC Berkshire, and university radio stations. Sixty Watt Bayonets featured on Noise Makes Enemies list of ones to watch for 2009, and URB Magazine's Next 1000 list.
Debut 7 track EP, 'Pounding Hearts, Fighting Words' out on the 13th July 2009. *
Should be good one, hopefully making it a free night but will let you know on that one. Do get inviting on the press front though as we've also got an NME Dj spinning a this EMI guy that has promised to come down : )
We have our next mini-festival at 93 Feet East on Saturday 25th July with an amazing line-up along with our usual Burlesque, performance art and Electro DJ’s. Check out the ticket link below. See you there.
