Rapidly moving from the wilder shores of backroom festival revelry to the international stage, Molotov Cocktail are an explosive London 6-piece with a huge home-grown following and rapidly expanding international fan base. They are fronted, in stunningly flamboyant style by the multi-talented actress, fashion icon and musician, Natalia Tena (Harry Potter, Game of Thrones / vocals & accordion).
This wild appropriation of styles ranges from gypsy to swing, through Latin soul and calypso to disco and dubstep. The band's dedicated followers have affectionately dubbed it'gypstep'.
'Molotov Jukebox is a hodgepodge of cultural flavours spiked with rock and soul to create an eclectic cocktail of musical genius and frivolity' Washington Times.
Urban Voodoo Machine
This London collective of shadowy ne'er do wells deliver lurching sea shanties, debauched murder ballads, messed-up tangos and whiskey-soaked gypsy stomps. Urban Voodoo Machine have rinsed every festival, supported the Pogues and the New York Dolls and opened their Dalston HQ, the Gypsy Hotel where they stage their legendary rock n' roll cabaret parties. Led by Norwegian born Paul-Ronney Angel and featuring up to 12 musicians, they are guaranteed to bring the carnie spirit to the ball.
