   About Sweet Sweet Lies
Sweet Sweet Lies” style is best described as “A crudely drawn mix of folk, bluegrass, and post-punk. they draw reference from such influences as Johnny Cash, Nick Cave, Willie Nelson, Tom Waits and Kurt Weill. In the six months they have been together they have achieved Radio play on Radio Reverb, Juice FM, and have played a host of top venues around the country, as well as "The Great Escape", they are on the bill for this year's "Isle Of Wight Festival" and "Glastonbury" Here's a review: “For fans of Johnny Cash, Hove resident Nick Cave or Leonard Cohen, look no further than Sweet Sweet Lies. Vocalist Dominic VonTrapp’s voice is as smooth as it is haunting and his lyrics are witty and full of pathos. Augmented by co-conspirator Michael Hayes’s guitar work, his simple yet touching songs linger in the mind long after they’re gone.” Marcus hamblett . . . . We also completely disapprove of sending out unsolicited emails and adds to people, add us if you like our music, we won't come looking for you. SWEET SWEET LIES- Fine folk based tunes honed into a blustering and gritty rock pop with veins a bulging intensity and the ghost of Johnny Cash casting a jaundiced eye over proceedings. Fine band, why not huge? - Bugbear

Hello! You don't seem to be gigging on 24th so we thought you might want to know that Asbo Derek are hosting a BANK HOLIDAY BENDER on Sunday 24th May at The Prince Albert, Brighton
six til eleven for £5

Acts appearing are:

Pat Fish aka The Jazz Butcher
www.myspace.com/patfish77

Asbo Derek
www.myspace.com/asboderek

Brian Blaney
www.myspace.com/brianblaney

Cracktown
www.myspace.com/hullcracktown

GlassEye
www.myspace.com/glasseyebrighton

Phil Jeays
www.myspace.com/philipjeays

This has to be one of the best events in Brighton this year, not least because Pat Fish will be joining us. Check out www.jazzbutcher.com for more on Pat's noble career.

Also performing will be Hull’s answer to Same Difference, Cracktown; three wise men who crawled out the swamp, GlassEye; Britain’s Got Brel finalist Phil Jeays; teller of wee tales, Brian Blaney; and, of course, new-look garage cabaret combo Asbo Derek.

"What a fucking line-up" - Roger de Courcey

It will get full and, yes, it really will start at six. Come early and stay til it all comes to a crashing halt around 11.

Afterall, it's the night before a Bank Holiday and, hey, those bankers deserve a rest.

Please enter this into your palm pilots – it’s gonna be special.
love and plums
