THE RETROTONES, LONDON/ESSEX BASED GRUNGE-PUNK-POP-ROCK BAND are performing at a 2 day Kite Boarding Festival With Camping...20th June 2009, Upminster, Essex...tickets and details... http://thegathering.webeden.co.uk/

We are THE RETROTONES, We are a four piece British Retro-punk-Rock band with a 60's twist, we try to sound like 60's & 70's Trippy Rock, infused with 80's Grunge...we like getting messy and Gigging the night away in dirty little venues, drunk on the smell of enthusiasm...Like on the Camden strip...(nowhere dirtier/or better for Gigs)!!!

We have been playing together for a few years, had our UP's and quite a few DOWNS too!! We try to Keep everything as natural as possible and record all our demos in a little bedroom-come-studio, on analogue equipment like An AKAI Reel to reel, Fostex Reel to reel, Fostex cassette 8 track and early Mac and PC software...Sometimes under the influence of mind altering drugs,ho ho ho...woof! We only use the coolest, vintage instruments and we prefer to do shows in FREE ENTRY venues while we are still trying to get noticed!!!!

We have lately been involved with CHAMPIONS OF THE EMPIRE, which is a self promoting group of about 8 great bands, all in it for the right reasons, all know each other, all on the same bill, playing to the same and ever growing crowd...FREE!!! Check it out...

We ( The Retrotones ) write a new song practically each week so all our gigs are ;

"Everchanging ballsier versions of the Album tracks (Ether apple / KingSnake / DullScenes). Basically what you'd expect from a Vintage Rock & Roll Band

We've got an awesome set at the moment ( 2 hours of tunes, varying from 60's freakbeat to 70's blues & jazz to 80's Grunge to 90's hard Rock )We don't like to let the tracks go stale so we're always re-arranging them and trying to creep in new one's. It's just finding the time to play them live, money and a decent studio to record them all in...

We like our Rockstars dead!!! But here are a few of our Rockstar Friends who are deffinately still alive and can be found on our friends page....
