   About Thee Milkshakes
It all started at a Jam concert sometime in 1977. There, big Russ Wilkins first met Billy Childish and asked him if he wanted to sing in his group which was to become The Pop Rivets. Their first gig was September 1977. They went on to release two LP's and an EP before splitting up in 1980. Mickey Hampshire and Banana Bertie were Pop Rivets Roadies---They had a band called Micky and the Milkshakes who'd occasionally supported the Rivets, playing a set of mainly punk covers, somethimes with Billy joining them on rhythm guitar. After the Rivets split, Billy joined Mickey and Bert and as he was now sharing the vocal/guitar spot, the band name was shortened to Thee Milkshakes. Bruce wanted to get into the action too, but was told he had to learn to play the drums first. Thee Milkshakes came out of the ashes of The Pop Rivets, mainly as a reaction to what punk rock had changed into: synthesized crap. We wanted to get back ino playing decent rock'n'roll. Sadly after 5 years of touring europe and releasing Numerous LP's, EP's, and Singles, Thee Milkshakes disbanded as Mick was retiring. So this was the end of an era !

One of the highlights of the Vortex London Jazz Festival – TIME OUT

Featuring Fyfe Dangerfield (from Guillemots), Gannets posit an alternative jazz history in which 30's swing developed straight into a combined form of the free jazz and fusion movements, without any of the intervening decades.

About The Masonics: "Anyone who has even a passing interest in garage and beat music of the last 25 years will have come across the names of Thee Headcoats, The Milkshakes, The Clique,The Delmonas, The Kaisers or The Wildebeests. The three members of the devilishly stylish Masonics all spent time in at least one of those legendary bands and in more recent years came together to form a veritable supergroup of the British rock ’n’roll scene. Combining their previous bands’ sixties beat, US garage and instrumental stylings with a punk rock attitude, this is a group that pays attention to detail, with a talent for songwriting coming to the fore. Micky Hampshire (guitar/vocals) possesses a merciless instinct for touching, simple, timeless rock’n’roll melodies and lyrics.The band performs with verve and precision, on record and on stage, always giving their followers their money’s worth. Bruce Brand pounds the traps like it could save your life – and sometimes I believe it very well could! John Gibbs twangs the bass strings with a gut instinct, taking you into a groove with grit and gumption. Six albums down the line ( “Royal and Ancient” being their seventh) The Masonics remain more hard-hitting and vital than any group of teenage hopefuls on the scene – of that there’s no doubt.
