Los Salvadores

Los Salvadores started in 2004 when Marf’s experimental metal band Inside the Mind of Henry Holmes and Mafro’s ska punk outfit Morgan’s Puff Adder split up. Both had gigged extensively, and wanted a rest... a nice, low pressure band they could play with when they felt like it. So they found two other similarly lazy musicians, bass player Pete and saxophonist Patrick Jones. For the next six months, all four of them met up at the Sheppey Yacht Club and proceeded to do very little.

Mr. Irish Bastard

Irishman Mr. Irish Bastard, or that f@@@ing bastard, as he is fondly known to friend and foe alike, writes drink-drenched songs that capture the spirit of the country and the raw energy of his punk roots. It's rough, it's dirty and it's straight from the heart. The boys and girl have released "St. Mary's School of Drinking" and "The Bastard Brotherhood" in February 2008. The band is now going to hit the road, drink, party...

Eric Ayotte

Singer of Halo Fauna’s solo acoustic thing, which seems to be the rage these days. If you’ve ever seen Eric you know how heartfelt his songs are. He’s been playing shows recently with his traveling film festival, combining it into a 1:2 punch of music and movies. Recently he put out an album of songs he wrote to his grandfather’s poetry. It’s some pretty amazing stuff. He is also known for having a sweet beard.

He has been involved in numerous punk bands, and runs Plan-It-X Records, a label founded in 1994. When Clavin first started releasing solo songs, he did not want his typical moniker attached to them. Spoonboy (of The Max Levine Ensemble) gave him the name Captain Chaos. Though Clavin did not like the name, it stuck.
