   About The Hinkley Veltones
Drawing Inspiration from the three legged stool of Rock and Roll, Country and Western and Nuclear power, The Hinkley Veltones have emerged to present their leg fusion to the world at large. So make like the Fonz and Sit on it.

"The Hinkley Veltones were a big clanging bell, caught at the moment just before it cracks. Something like Clinic fronted by Hank Williams, everything reverb-ed into a sobbing submission, music you put on in order to light up a cigarette and calmly drive your car off a cliff. The fact that they looked like pissed-off geography teachers dragged out onto an awkward stag night just added to the heady mix. Brilliant. David Lynch should sign them up as his next house band." The Rach III, Choke

"There's a menace lurking somewhere here underneath the surface that I can't quite fathom out that gives this otherwise pretty straight forward band an edge." Del Day, Americana UK

"The Hinkley Veltones, all dressed in black and looking like the Avenging Angels of one of their songs, produced a very impressive set. They sounded like they'd listenened to a lot of Nick Cave, the lyrics were as gothic as anything by The Handsome Family and there was a country chiming guitar twang to it all. It was odd and it was also very dark, but it was also highly enjoyable." Keith Clark, Bristol Evening Post

The Mighty Stef [AKA Stefan Murphy] is a singer and songwriter from Dublin Ireland, celebrated for the storytelling nature of his songs and his passionate live shows. He and his band are a veritable band of rock n roll Pirates, sailing a sea of influences that include everything from The Rolling Stones to the Pogues, Nick Cave To the Clash and Johnny Thunders to Johnny Cash.


Howlin' Lord - 'Galloping raw country blues. It's terrific, entirely in keeping with the spirit of Hank Williams, whining, urgent and desperate.
' Kid Pensioner Venue Magazine

+ DJ's spinning country, blues, r'n'b, primitive and not so primitive rock'n'roll.

The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players with An Axe, Bar Oppo, 22nd September 2008

Decorum presents a last minute tour addition, an intimate performance from The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow players - Monday 22nd of September at Oppo (72 Park Street, Bristol).

The Trachtenburgs are a domestic trio who play quirky indie vaudeville pop songs in the key of unironic good, clean fun with one major catch: all the songs carefully rhyming lyrics come from the vintage slide collections they've found at estate or garage sales that accompany their performances.

An Axe

An Axe are purveyors of brooding melancholia and dark shanty-pop with horrorshow keys, ramshackle percussion and chiming guitars

www. myspace. com/anaxe

Tickets are £4 in adv from Here Shop and Bristol Ticket Shop.
