Ducks Deluxe

If the old scientific adage is true -- that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction -- then British pub rockers Ducks Deluxe were purely and simply a reaction. With the mid-'70s English pop scene dominated by glitter/glam rockers like Gary Glitter and Sweet or blustery, chops-heavy art rockers like Yes, Jethro Tull, and Genesis, then Ducks Deluxe represented none of the above. One of the first pub rock bands, the Ducks played basic American-style blues and boogie with remarkable panache and thorough disregard for the whims of the zeitgeist.

Baby Bitch

Baby Bitch were the finest rock 'n' roll band to ever disgrace a stage. Combining infectious pop melodies with punk energy and a metallic stomp, accompanied with a twisted sense of humour and an unhealthy fixation with Crispin Glover, their unforgettable tunes and charismatic presence were utterly irresistable. Formed in 2005, the lineup consisted of: Stephen James Buckley - Vocals/Guitar
Wayne Cole - Drums/Vocals
Adam Kendall - Guitar/Vocals
Sean Womack - Bass The Bitch gigged extensively throughout the UK, and picked up a loyal following. Mostly young and female.
