Wild Western Rooms reunion night May 30, 2008

Armitage Shanks
Medway's premier league 1977 punk band have been bashing out all manner of punk rockery since 1991. Back in action with a freshened-up band and better than ever, they are belting out the finest old school punk classics alongside new classics of their own making. Resist their albums "Urinal Heep" and "Top Of The Plops" at your peril. Do you dare to miss the authentic sound of the suburbs as Dick Scum and chums leer in your face and veer your brain cells towards the inevitable cider and glue apocalypse? It's punk and it's rock, it's punk rock.

Dutronc
Based on the music of legendary French singer Jacques Durtronc, this group has plundered his catalogue to witty and charming effect. Cranking up the Kinks-esque sound of the original songs to the max with unsurprising vigour considering the band contains Bruce Brand (ex-Headcoats and currently also in The Masonics) and Bongo Debbie (ex-Headcoatees) on guitar and drums respectively, to which add the authentic French tone of Rudy on bass and the suave eccentricity of the leopard skin suited Parsley as frontman and accordianist for a sublime journey into the frontal lobe of French sixties garage-beat music.

Cee Bee Beaumont
North London's best kept secret and purveyors of the patented "N7 Action Sound", Cee Cee Beaumont swagger their way through rousing, brutish instrumentals that tell tales of vehicle misery, fighting and unnatural disasters in an around the Holloway Road.

Spectreman
In the mid-'90s, Spectreman taunted London's uptight rock'n'roll fraternity with their chaotic broken blues punk. Their irreverant mutilation of Elvis, Rolling Stones, Link Wray, etc, was par for the course alongside the contorted Electric Eels meets Pussy Galore style ditties of their own and an ode to the St John's Tavern, "Archway, Action Town", where they regularly played.
