”There are many things you can do to yourself…. but it feels so much better when they’re done by someone else”
How true.
It’s a cry from the heart of every angry, love-starved young man, wondering what he has to do to get a girl, wondering why life isn’t quite how he thought it might be, waiting for someone to tell him what to do...
Sketchbeat has the answers, and more than 10,000 fans across the UK and beyond agree that the band rocks their truth with their rock/funk/hip-hop blend of monster grooves.
Since they exploded onto stage in 2007 with the iconic ‘MY MAMA SAID’ Sketchbeat have sold out Cargo, 93 Feet East, Dingwalls, Hoxton Bar & Grill, Borderline & Barfly. BBC radio DJs tell their listeners that Sketchbeat are a ‘breakthrough band’. The public voted Sketchbeat into the final of Guitar Hero's Best Live Unsigned act for 2008 at this year’s Indy awards.
After whipping festival audiences to a frenzy with their funk-fuelled stage show, lead singer Paul, on guitar and harmonica, Mike, on trumpet, keyboard and guitar, Rich, on bass and backing vocals & Ed, on drums and backing vocals are about to release their debut self-titled EP.
Channelling the humour and harmonies of Queen, the attitude and funk of James Brown and the sonic vocal stylings of the Chili Peppers and Zeppelin, Sketchbeat are more than boys with guitars. Gig goers have had enough of whining self interest - it’s time to get hot and angry on the dance floor! Jazz trumpet bounces off guitar riffs, punching melodies ride high over bellowing harmonies, four young men sing of ‘EDDIE THE EAGLE’ and drive along the pounding new sound.

We have put a new song up for you, it’s only a rough demo which hasn’t really been mixed well and hasn’t been produced but it will give you a taster of what may come next in our next recording sessions which we are trying to set before Christmas.
Enjoy! It’s called 'Stop'. Please tell us what you think.
Enflammé, enragé, incisif et pamphlétaire, c'est en véritable gladiateur des mots que Pascal Perrot, aka Poetic Gladiator, offre sa poésie de combat, qui ne s'interdit toutefois pas une certaine tendresse envers ses frères humains … Une poésie ancrée dans notre époque, pugnace, lucide et percutante …
Poète performeur aux images puissantes et à l'énergie peu commune, il brûlera les planches de la Cantada, le lundi 16 novembre dans une prestation que vous n'êtes pas prêts d'oublier … Ici, pas de lecture, mais une interprétation, un engagement physique permanent, une véritable incarnation des mots.
Pour la modeste participation aux frais de 3 euros, offrez-vous cette "insurrection poétique" tonique et revigorante !
