  • Bio

    Introducing England’s newest, soon to be legendary rhythm, beat & garage combo. Super rough, tough, raw & wild freaked out blastin’ mid 60s style RnB all the way. Astonishing debut album release 'THe Electrifyin' Sounds of...' out on Screaming Apple soon . Touring with our arch rivals and chief nemisis 'Hipbone Slim & the Kneetremblers' in October.
  • Members

    The band is led by the ubiquitous Sir Bald Diddley (Guitar/Vocals). Joining Sir Bald (aka Hipbone Slim) is the one and only Bruce ‘Bash’ Brand on drums. Bruce has walloped skins for many lauded beat, rhythm n punk combos (Milkshakes, Headcoats, Holly Golightly, Masonics, etc.) and even played with Link Wray, The Pretty Things and The Downliner Sect! Gez Gerrard plays bass guitar, blows blues harmonica and adds backing/harmony vocals. Nass Bouzida (Big Boss Man, The Bongolian) guests on organ.
  • Influences

    The band is inspired by, amongst others,…Pretty Things, Kinks, Downliner Sect, Them, Birds, Stones, Yardbirds, Sorrows, Small Faces, Who, Creation, Outsiders, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Link Wray, Howlin’ Wolf, Jimmy Reed, Sonics, Wailers, Larry & the Bluenotes and the Remains.
  • Sounds Like

    The best British beat group / album since the original invasion days!!! Loaded with grab-your-throat guitar riffs, snarling vocals, wailing harp, and much maraca shaking, the album is proper raw-as-you-like freakbeat, fresh as a 1965 Shel Talmy produced single.

    Not only does Bruce can play the drums better than most drummers but also has an exquisite taste when it comes to picking which bands to  play with
