KING SALAMI AND THE CUMBERLAND THREE - LIVE
This is London’s greatest and most sensational Rhythm’n’Blues-Punk band.
A band that truly represents London, being a mongrel mix of Caribbean, France, Japan and Spain.
With a repertoire influenced by many of the great songs of the ’50s and ’60s made to sound fresh and new to modern ears, you won’t be able to help but move your feet when the Cumberland Three are blasting out of the speakers.
The King howls like Screaming Jay Hawkins with Bo Diddley chasing his coat-tail whilst Andre Williams tries to offer up some of his bacon fat, and the Trashmen do the Surfin’ Bird behind him. This is a man that never stops shakin’ and twistin’ and groovin’.
The Cumberland Three rock up a storm with their own branded mix of vintage rockabilly, desperate rock’n’roll and stomping soul, with fire, energy, gusto and, above all, fun!
Whether on stage or on record this is one of the most exciting bands in rock’n’roll right now – they are guys who know what it takes to make you move. Equal parts rock’n ‘roll and soul, with a healthy dose of blues and rockabilly and a good bit of punk rock attitude!
LOS DEDOS - LIVE
Reverb-drenched guitars twang over Latin basslines and pounding surf beats to bring you rocking instrumentals to shake and shimmy to.
This razor-sharp trio combine the classic 60's sounds of Dick Dale, Link Wray and The Trashmen, bringing it crashing into the 21st century with a sound like Quentin Tarantino and David Lynch fighting over the jukebox in a Mexican bar!
CHICKS WITH DECKS
This divine DJ duo will spin you into one hot mess…getting those hips swaying and those booties shaking to the vintage sounds of Surf, Rock n Roll, Garage and Northern Soul.
