Death Of An Icon

Death Of An Icon (DOAI) are a four-piece rock band from Cardiff, with a twist. The sound is taking a trip back to the most influential period in American music.

The band was formed from members of Ill System (Bobby Addison: Guitar, Owen Lowry: Bass)...

ThirtyOne

Birthed in 2007, ThirtyOne then spent two years lurking underground searching for the missing pieces of their line-up puzzle. They toiled and wrestled for control of their riffs until 2009 when a chance re-meeting with a prior vocal applicant turned up the opportunity to create something wide and wonderful.

Lugosi

At the end of 2007, Ferry Lauwerijssen (ex-Bob Miller and the Nightmares), Robert-Jan de Pauw (ex-Bob Miller and the Nightmares) and Hans Wilders (ex-Bob Miller and the Nightmares/ex-Stockholm Syndrome) teamed up to form a new Rockendale band. It was quickly decided that Fer and Rob would play guitar and Hans would play drums. Since, they were still short on a bass player, John de Haas (who, at that time, had never played bass before in his life) was asked to join the group.
