Profile
A rock’n’roll band from London, influenced by the great musicians from the 50’s and 60’s. The band are regulars at some of the best roots music venues in London as well as playing many private functions in the UK & Europe. They have a wealth of crowd-wowing experience to go with the passion and energy that they throw into their live performances.
Step into the soulful embrace of American roots music with our harmonious fusion of rock 'n' roll, rockabilly, blues, Latin, and surf. Rooted in the rebellious spirit of the 1950s and 1960s, we transcend the boundaries of a typical retro function band, infusing our performances with a distinct Tarantino-esque vibe that exudes magnetic coolness.
While paying much homage to timeless classics like "Johnny B. Goode" and "Blue Suede Shoes," our sonic journey delves deeper into the musical archives, unearthing hidden gems such as "Brand New Cadillac" by Vince Taylor and "Shake Your Hips" by Slim Harpo. It's not just about the retro hits – we seamlessly intertwine a few contemporary pop and soul numbers into our repertoire, creating an eclectic experience that resonates with a diverse audience.
From countless private functions, weddings, and birthdays to corporate events, we've left our mark across the UK and Europe. You can regularly catch us at some of the most iconic music venues and events in the capital, from the intimate ambiance of the Jools Holland-endorsed Jazz club Boisdale to the soulful depths of The Blues Kitchen in Camden. In addition to our extensive list of clients and venues, we've been part of large-scale events such as London Edge Fashion Festival, Goodwood Revival, and Twinwood Vintage Festival. We have even taken our unique brand of rock 'n' roll as far as the Arctic Circle, where we played the Pakasukko Blues & Jazz Fest in Finland!
The journey continues, and we invite you to join us on this musical odyssey, celebrating the timeless spirit of rock 'n' roll.
