Sounds Like	"Finally came to the time most of the crowd have been waiting for. Local boys The Dandilions have a massive followin across Leicester. Their influences are obvious from the outset: The Specials spring to mind as well as The Libertines. The band have a strong Ska almost Reggae sound at time and they unashamedly demonstrate this with tracks like 'Grade A Victoria', the latter matching a 80's reggae pop sound with modern lyrics about mobile phones and HD TV's. Throughout their whole set the dancefloor is full of writhing bodies culminating in a mosh pit for track 'Luxembourg To Cologne' which was without a doubt one of the best songs of the night. As they finish on stage, it seems they were the perfect band to end the night, a polished set with strong songs made me see why their is so much love for The Dandilions in this city. Sandman Magazine To Read the Whole Review, Click The Link Below: THE DANDILIONS SANDMAN MAGAZINE REVIEW ------------------------------------------- "The Dandilions are the latest of the wave of bands coming from what used to be known as “middle England”. We call it inspired - with the swagger and the style to match. It could be The Clash - circa 1977 or course - mixed by Lee Perry, sporting Ben Shermans. Or something like that. But not quite."

The Dandilions SOHO STRUT Review ------------------------------------------- Click the link below to see BBC interview The Dandilions BBC Interview ------------------------------------------- Final act of the night had been loosening up for their set by partying in the incredible tour bus they rocked up in..I had expected The Dandilions to show up in a transit van so imagine how shocked I was when a 30ft pimp wagon pulled round the corner. They were pushed for time also but took the stage at half midnight and delivered a half hour that Workington will never forget..well in fairness it would seem a few people can't remember anything other that that they were mint..due to drink. Ther dance floor filled as soon as they came on the place was bouncing. And dont worry they are coming back Size Club Night ------------------------------------------- "Leicester-bred flowers The Dandilions deliver well, bringing their hybrid mix of Zook & Roll to another appreciative crowd. "Luxembourg 2 Cologne" propagates a huge mosh pit, which continues throughout the rock-hard bass of "Rastaman" With a dedicated local fanbase, these boys come to the stage with a lot to live up to, and they don't disappoint.

About THE DANDILIONS [Glasto Vids on blog]

The Dandilions...

Ignatious Read and Bonsey had been playin and writing together for a few years before they were walking through highfields and heard bob marley being played proper loud. they followed the sound and came across a portugese bloke sitting on the floor jamming along to it on an old bass guitar, shortly after oli and sam asked him to join the band and began to add loud basslines to their hybrid poetry and melody. after a long search 4 a drummer the boys stopped by outside an old burlesque house 2 skin a j, they noticed sum guy struggling to get a drum kit down a set of stairs, the lads decided they would help him as they were feeling quite peacefull after their ..... as the geeza was putting the drums in his van they blindfolded him and took him away to officiate him as a dandilion.the rest is the present.
