we kept practising and persevering. This is the band most people remember.
With a decent set of songs and the ability to play them, Compact Pussycat
began gigging regularly in Norwich ("the darlings of the NAC")
and then spread further afield to play the likes of The Bull & Gate
and The Marquee Club in London.
Several line up changes and the odd year off later, they are now considered to be one of the best Pop / Punk acts in our area!!

When we started out as a band, we just covered songs.

Its something that every band should make special in their own way, and not just conform to the latest trends: you have to make music that you love, not sell it out and as a band, keep on evolving on your own style. That is how we arrived at our latest sound.

Shakeout take a fresh slant on psychobilly music and that in itself must be a mission after 17 years!
(S.Nott / Bedrock Bugle / May '97)
Its a good thing Shakeout decided to play again. Obviously devoted to rock n roll. Who else can play a Green Day cover and make it decent to listen to? England is full of surprises.
(Hellvis.tk / Jan 2006)
Shakeout are without doubt one of the UK's leading rocking outfits, and their approach to their music is definitely unique.
(Scootering / June '95)
Loaded with a great slapping bass, catchy melodies and some over the top songwriting. This is without doubt some of the better 90s Psychobilly stuff.

Luke Andrews- Drums.
Umbrella Assassins were formed at the end of 2006, by four mates from a very small,grey town called Haverhill getting together. They are a punk band at heart but try to take influences from a wide range of bands.They say their plan is simple - "make honest, real music with the very limited tools we have, we tend to spend the little money we do have on things we shouldn't!... but then who doesn't? right? Its important for us to be true to ourselfs"

alternative / pop
VIOLET VIOLET are:-
CHERI - Riffs / Vox
FLISS - Beats / Vox
KYLIE - Bass / Vox
Tasty, barbed musical morsels snatched from the fingers, mouths and hearts of PJ Harvey, Sleater-Kinney and Huggy Bear, heavily seasoned with violet violet’s own arty brand of vibrant wit and wisdom.
This is gossip rock. It’s edgy, full-on bitching, harmoniously delivered by a feisty trio of sardonic sirens. Tumbling tunes stuffed full of perfect and primal tribal rhythms with buzzsaw bass, gyrating guitars and a dual-pronged lead vocal attack that’s guaranteed to get you singing and bopping along to their infectious DIY dancefloor ditties.
Tune in, take note and listen to their woah-a-oh! You’ll be unable to resist the violet violet range of sound: from infectious disco beats to hard screaming riot grrrl noisiness, each skit telling tales of bad dress sense, nasty nights out and crushing one-liners.
Indeed, their quirky approach has charmed Brummie punk legends/rock mavericks The Nightingales, who took the girls under their wings for some UK shows in October 06 and will do so again this summer. Further national endorsements include The Nightingales tour 06, airplay on Radio 1 and 6 Music, plus a coveted slot in the NME!!

AMBIENT / PROGRESSIVE / ROCK
VANILLA KICK are:-
Calum Duncan :
Vocals / Guitars /Synth / Piano / Glockenspiel
Harry Hall : Drums / MacBook / Percussion
Nick Yager : Bass / Vocals / Keyboard
"Fusing Radiohead-esque guitar pieces and Muse like fuzzed up basslines with synths and keyboard sections, the creative ideas are constantly flowing. It is intriguing to see how only three guys can create such a warm encompassing soundscape, but nonetheless they pull this feat off with grace. Their tunes linger in the air as guitar sections abruptly give way to soothing keyboard break-downs, and the drums power through amongst the weird and wonderful sounds created."

After only a few short months of gigging, Washed up turned down a six figure deal and remain unsigned in the hope of staying true to their punk rock roots. From here the story continues

WELCOME THE TOURIST are: Alan - Guitar / Vocals,
Stitch - Bass / Vocals, Tom - Keys, Dan - Drums.
As the boom in by-the-book Indie bands expands and the extreme of genre-crossing groups takes the limelight through shock factor, Welcome The Tourist enthuse that you don’t need gimmicks to make bestsellers, nor do you need to stick to tried and tested methods.
Combining apparent influences from Minus The Bear to Motion City Soundtrack, Hot Water Music to Genesis and adding a distinct passion for 80’s pop music, the four-piece are clear masters of their instruments.
