Profile


The “heavy heavy sound” of Manchester, a super charged 11-headed ska monster on a rampage through the dance floors of the UK leaving a trail of skanked out bodies in their wake
It’s a band of assembled oddballs and pranksters brought together ba keyboardist and wizard, fronted by an un-holy trio of singers who combine with the soft lilt and harmonica magic. Also features one of the tightest rhythm sections in Manchester with the “chops to make you drop”.
* UPBEAT ANTHEMS AND DANCEHALL SKANKING

* UTTELY BONKERS BUT IRRESISTABLE

* RETRO-HIP ENOUGH FOR THE COOL KIDS YET GRANNY CAN SHAKE HER BONY HIPS AROUND TO IT TOO

Reviews:

Quirky, humorous and delightfully self-aware at all points, ‘Gas Mark 3’ is definitely more of a summer BBQ than a slow burner
Penny Black Music
Wonderfully eccentric and infectious
Do The Dog Skazine
Inspired silliness, good vibes, strong musicianship and many toe-tapping tunes
R2 (Rock’n’Reel) Magazine
retro-hip enough for the cool kids yet granny can shake her bony hips around to it too
The Independent
Just as Madness fused English quirkiness with a punchy Jamaican beat, so this Manchester-based outfit possess their own brand of in-your-face eccentricity. They have a sharp eye for cover tunes, too: Steve Miller’s Abracadabra and Disney’s slithery ditty Trust in Me, from The Jungle Book, both receive memorable updates. As for the originals, there are echoes of the the unpredictable Vivian Stanshall amid the upbeat anthems and the dancehall skanking. Alien and Who Shot the Milkman? are weird but infectious.
