GUITAR GANGSTERS from London

Following Guitar Gangsters’ 35 the anniversary in 2023, the next chapter of the bands history is about to be written. 11 album releases and tours in 28 countries just isn’t enough! Guitar Gangsters continue to produce stunning live shows and new releases which remain true to their melodic punk roots – slices of suburban life, failed love, failed ambition and social politics packed into three- minute power punk gems.
In 2019 this London three piece became a four piece with the addition of Ed Sonsino on guitar – the big sound got even bigger! In a post pandemic 2022, Guitar Gangsters made a return with the release of their 11th studio album, “Fortune Favours The Brave” and gigged throughout 2022 in UK and Europe. 2024 sees the release of the vinyl EP “The Faithful”, the title track for which is a salute to all those that have found punk to be the place where they belong. To mark the 35th anniversary of the release of the band’s first album “Prohibition”, a new vinyl live studio session performance will be released in May.
Guitar Gangsters will always stick proudly to their inspirational punk rock guns with more than just a hint of rock’n’roll attitude. With a formidable back catalogue and a swagger that is only achieved through years of experience, there’s never been a better time to see this band live and to be part of the next chapter.

THE BELLRAYS (USA) – on tour

Blues is the teacher. Punk is the Preacher. It’s all about emotion and energy. Experience and raw talent, spirit and intellect. Bob Vennum and Lisa Kekaula made The BellRays happen in 1990 in Riverside, California and they took everything they knew about; the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, the Who, the Ramones Billie Holiday, Lou Rawls, Hank Williams, the DB’s, Jimmy Reed, and Led Zeppelin and pressed it into service.
Those bands and artists have since become “buzz words”, things to imitate and sound like. That was never The BellRays intention.
It’s an organic trail that flows through Bob and Lisa and the current rhythm section of Pablo Rodas (Lisa and the Lips, Alber Solo) on bass and Craig Waters (Countdowns, Andre Williams, Cody Chestnut) on drums, and comes out honest and urgent. You will learn and you will feel. Blues is always teaching and Punk is always preaching.
Their latest and 15th album „Heavy steady go“ got released on the 30th of August 2024.

The Movement – on the road again!

Our favourite Mod Band THE MOVEMENT is back on the road!
This power- trio from Copenhagen/ Denmark is influenced by The Jam, The Who and The Clash and they really kick off on stage.
It’s pretty simple and very basic: They are a great live band and they got a unique power pointed directly towards the audience.
Don’t miss them at a town near you!
