King Salami & the Cumberland 3 | See King Salami on Myspace
The King howls like Screaming Jay Hawkins with Bo Diddley chasing his coat-tail and with Andre Williams trying to offer up some of his bacon fat. This man never stops shakin' and twistin' and groovin' while the Cumberland 3 (former members of the Ulcers, Chinese Lungs and Parkinsons) play their own branded mix of vintage rockabilly desperate rock'n'roll and a bit of soul with fire, energy, gusto and fun!

Johnny Throttle | See Johnny Throttle on Myspace
Formed just a few short months ago (Febuary 2008) by various lowlife has been and never weres from the Parkinsons, Shakin’ Nasties, Urban Shocks, Jackoffs and Menace, JohnnyThrottle play real rock’n’roll the way it was meant to be – snotty, moronic and straight to the point. They bang out a furious 20-minute (smoking ban-friendly) set of short and catchy Modern Lovers meet Slaughter and the Dogs meet the Electic Eels inspired mini-operas with the kind of incompetent teenage enthusiasm which only the borderline middle-aged can truly muster.

Deadbeat Descendant | See Deadbeat Descendant on Myspace
This Brighton band play psyched-out punk’n’roll which is often described as a more danceable Iggy mixed with the Fall. Reviews say stuff like: "high octane, high energy songs underpinned by punchy, staccato rhythms"..."they ooze class". It's the kind of sound that makes the indie girls go crazy, says another reviewer. They are fantastic to see live, if you have never caught them before, make sure you catch them tonight.

R.I.P. Drake Levin
Drake Levin, guitarist with Paul Revere & the Raiders, has passed away at the age of 62. He died after suffering from cancer at his home in San Francisco, with his wife Sandra at his side.
Best known as the guitar player for Paul Revere and The Raiders, he was forced to leave the performing version of the group when he received his draft notice. Instead of being drafted, however, he joined the National Guard, which enabled him to record with the group during his time off.
When Drake Levin played lead guitar with Paul and the Raiders, he and bass guitarist Phil Volk would pull-off a showstopper: Drake on top of the left speaker and Phil on right speaker, dancing while they played their instruments behind their heads!
