Liqueur - a tribute to The Cure

What makes Liqueur special is the fact that we all like The Cure; we’ve been fans since we were kids (I would calculate the accumulative fan years we hold but I don’t have enough fingers, and hailing from Norfolk, that’s really saying something!). Reproducing the songs is the easy part, we want to look, sound, eat and drink The Cure, therefore we try to use the same equipment as the band wherever we can (thank you eBay and Barclaycard!) and the look and feel of our gigs is very important to us. When we play a gig….we are The Cure and we want you to feel like you are watching The Cure.

Reptile House - a tribute to Sisters Of Mercy

Crested in early 2023, Reptile House are the alter ego of a dark alternative originals band that have been together since 2017. Having previously been booked to play a set of Sisters of Mercy tracks at Whitby in 2019 the band were then asked to support The Spouky Kids last year at a gothic wedding.

That moment opened their eyes to the possibilities of a tribute.

The band are recreating tracks from the Reptile House EP through to the Vision Thing album, with visual representation of Andrew Eldritch, Wayne Hussey, Craig Adams and Patricia Morrison and slideshow charting moments of the band’s era through this period.

Expect plenty of smoke, black and shades.

Rock veteran John Otway dubbed himself “rock’n’roll’s greatest failure” after many unsuccessful attempts to produce a second hit single to follow his 1977 classic '(Cor Baby, That’s) Really Free' with Wild Willy Barrett.

However, a mere quarter century later, he was back on Top of The Pops with the wonderful disco pastiche, ‘Bunsen Burner’ and back in the charts as a birthday present from his adoring and patient fans.

And, more recently, his 'Beware Of The Flowers Cause I’m Sure They’re Going To Get You Yeah' voted the seventh greatest lyric of all time in a BBC poll.

But that, of course, was not enough.

A couple of years ago John realised that live footage from the many concerts over the years, plus many TV appearances - and a failed world tour attempt - would make an entertaining documentary film. So he made one. Initially expecting a couple of humble screenings for fans, the film premiered at the Odeon, Leicester Square, was shown at Cannes - and at prestigious UK film festivals including Cambridge during it's national tour.

2016 saw a remarkably successful Kickstarter appeal which raised over £40,000 for John Otway and the Big Band to record their first new album in many years on the island of Monserrat, whose famous studios hosted bands such as the Rolling Stones before being devastated by forces of nature, being a preferable option to Harlow. In 2022, he marked his 5000th show with a sold-out performance at the Shepherd's Bush Empire.

The Thing is a four piece from New York City.

The band originated in High School when Michael Carter, Jack Bradley, and Zane Acord bonded over a shared love for rock & roll. Over the years they honed their craft, self recording and writing songs influenced by 60’s pioneers such as the Kinks, Grand Funk Railroad, and artists of The Nuggets Compilation. As they progressed in skill and knowledge the band started envisioning a career inspired by the likes of Brian Jonestown Massacre, King Gizzard, and The Black Keys.

Their debut LP, ‘Here’s the Thing’, was recorded and produced by Jack in Zane’s childhood home in Sharon, CT as well as the band’s studio in Brooklyn. After establishing their sound and recording process, the band turned around the month after it was released to the public and recorded their second LP, ‘The Thing Is’ in May of 2023. The album was recorded in one month, with Lucas on the kit this time. They intended to make a more experimental album that was also recorded with all four members playing together in the same room. This strengthened their DIY ethos and opened up their sound.

There is much more to come.

LONG LIVE THE THING.

7 Seconds Of Love

FIRST LONDON SHOW IN 9 YEARS

It's no surprise that Britain's ska-tinged comedy rock act 7 Seconds of Love is the creation of Joel Veitch, the Internet animator behind cult website www.rathergood.com and Quizno's ads featuring the infamous Spongmonkeys. After recruiting his brother Alex Veitch to play keyboards, Joel met the five other musicians who would round out the act -- Pat Schulenburg (guitar), Ed Snow (drums), Ed Harding (trumpet), Ian Paterson (saxophone), and Stephen Pattison (bass). The band started playing shows in London, later expanding to regional and national gigs, as well as maintaining an enthusiastic digital following thanks to Joel's animated music videos and the release of singles. In January 2007, fans in Argentina alerted 7 Seconds of Love that a Coca-Cola commercial being shown in the country bore a striking similarity to the group's song and video for "Ninja." A legal agreement was reached with the company in which Coca-Cola paid the band an undisclosed sum; 7 Seconds of Love used some of the money to record and distribute an EP, and then donated the rest to two children's charities.
