UK's Legendary Blues Guitarman - Live Here in Staines

Mr Kamikaze at Hob Staines

Staines



Mr Kamikaze was formed in 2006 by people who have been making music together for years. Influenced by the new wave sound of the late seventies, geek rock and punk they play jerky, poppy rock music. They have played shows with Polysics, The Briefs, We Are The Physics and Tokyo Pinsalocks, and have made an impact on the Brighton rock scene. They have recently recorded and self-released their debut EP imaginatively titled 'Mr Kamikaze'. Mr Kamikaze's incredibly energetic live set is a smashing way to enjoy their carefully crafted pop music.

Band Members    Richard Bushby | Vocals / Guitar

Jack Alexander Wiseman | Guitar / vocals

Robin Robotic | Bass / Synth / vocals

Edwin Brooks | Drums / vocals

Johnny O Rourke | Synth / Horns

Folk Rock - Live Locally in Isleworth

Beautiful Losers are a West London/Surrey based quartet. We like Rock, Folk and Country Rock (and more). We have been called Alt-Country/Americana ish but we’re also West Coast Rock with a nod to classic British Rock. We still play our old songs...

Talking of which...we had an album out in 2004 called High In The Tall Grass. Our oldest fans swear by (and at) it but we don't have swimming pools yet. Had a bit of radio play then we recorded a four track EP in a windmill in darkest Surrey (Silvermere Sound). These songs can be heard in our download section.

In the sixties and seventies it was dignified to be slutty ageing rockers hitting guitars and drums and singing proper songs with great words, melodies and hooks. It was cool to have a great guitar sound and the occasional goosebumping solo, it was perfectly normal to rock out and move people with your music. If you know what we mean by that then check us out, this is why we do what we do.   

Crosby Stills Nash & Young, The Byrds, The Beatles, Steve Miller Band, The Band, Black Crowes, The Small Faces, The Faces, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Radiohead, Counting Crows, Nick Drake, Ryan Adams, Lucky Jim, Paul Weller, Gram Parsons, Jeff Buckley, Bob Dylan, The Summer Wardrobe, My Morning Jacket, Stevie Wonder, Traffic, Angelfield, AC/DC, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Lucinda Williams, Drive By Truckers, Magic Ship, Lambchop, The Decemberists, Coldplay, The Rolling Stones, The Eagles, Tim Hardin, The Shins, Wilco, Viarosa, Saint Jude, REM, Peter Bruntnel
