Dave Rybka & Victorian Dad are playing at the first Kuiperfest festival in Spain!
The following is taken from the Kuiperfest website:
A new arts festival set in the foothills of the maestrazgo, north Spain.
Including music, theatre, art, comedy, craft and food fairs, local gastronomy
and on-site camping in idyllic, ancient olive groves.
And not forgetting, of course, the great bear challenge...
"Spain's new Kuiperfest music and arts festival is set to spill
onto the olive grove-covered foothills of northern Spain's
Maestrazgo park on June 20-22. Gourmet food stalls, and
acoustic music mean it should be a relaxed affair, and as it
features folk and world acts you may never have heard of,
such as The Emily Manuel Disaster, and Happy Band of
Japan, it's one for sunseekers and musos in the know."
- The Guardian, Saturday May 10 2008 -
"Kuiperfest is a throwback to earlier times when festivals
weren't overbooked and where you went to discover
genuinely new bands and talent without it costing the earth.
Everything you want from a festival - including guaranteed sunshine."
- Chris Hawkins BBC 6 Music -
And, some quotes from reviews about Victorian Dad...
"Bass, drums, saxophone, two guitars, a ukulele and a mandolin ensure that the sound is rich in colour and texture. The rhythms are complex, catchy and imaginative; the songs are authentic, lyrical and cleverly arranged. The delivery is gutsy and theatrical."

"Wigans Super Group"
- WiganReprter 2007 -
"The Doors 'My wild love' on more acid!"
- London Promoter 2007 -
"...dirty rock & roll...given a newfound lifeblood"
- Sandman Magazine 2008 -
.."More proof that Wigan might well be the centre of musical excellence in the North, Victorian Dad come to entertain us with their superb Screaming Tree’s-esque tunes of both wild sonics and true soul"
- Manchester Music.co.uk 2008 -
"...before you can sew leather patches onto the elbow of your tweed jacket, the set erupts into a powerhouse of guitars and Dave Rybka’s amazing vocals that sit somewhere between Jim Morrison and Josh Homme. The songs are just ready to go"...
- JA @ Manchester Music.co.uk 2008 -
Hailing from Wigan but now residing in Manchester, Victorian Dad were formed in 2007 by guitar aces Dave Rybka, James Wilson and John Fairhurst to have a jolly good time & take on the world with new Original music together. With powerhouse Matt McNicholas on drums, formidable bassist Tom Doherty alongside the ever entertaining Alabaster DePlume on saxophone, Victorian Dad boast some great musicians in its line up. Throughout good times , a relentless passion for interesting new music has developed, and so what can we say !!! We all live in a beautiful house together...let the summer come along and burn your ears!!
Enjoy the music and spread the words...!!!
Victorian Dad are joined by Tom Yates on mandolin, harmonica, ukulele and a variety of other unlikely instruments, along with accordion and keyboard maestro Fran Lydiatt to expand the sound of the band. BANG!!
