Sundae Kups | See The Sundae Kups on Myspace
These boys are coming all the way from Coronado Bay, San Diego, California! Having met whilst working at the local Dairy Queen serving ice cream, they got together to play guitar instrumental tunes, under the guidance of their mentor, the surf sensei Soundpapa (himself a hero in his home town of Hakodate, Japan). The Sundae Kups have already travelled to England, where they won over many crowds at the legendary Diplo, Scooterworks & Teen Bop parties. Such a success was their previous visit that they are returning for an extended stay. So get down to their uncontrollable dance dance frenzy now now now! -
Couple | See Couple on Myspace
This Malaysian group has been described as overflowing "with a punky exuberance that recalls the mighty Buzzcocks at the height of their powers, with the melodic flair of Cheap Trick and The Raspberries”. The Star of Malaysian newspaper says: “A sexy monster... bound to spark a dancefloor riot!” The band themselves say: "Relying solely, and foolishly, on the dodgy songcraft of our lame frontman, Aidil, we continue to defy the odds as none of us can play our instruments competently to save our lives, hoping to inspire similarly incompetent kids to just form their own bands and stick it to the Man!" -
Dylan Walshe | See Dylan Walshe on Myspace
Singing stripped down songs from the heart, Walshe deals with the sometimes difficult but universal topics of introspection, existence and love with a deep and clear honesty, fuelled by an uncompromising, warm and dark, big voice. This is music for anyone that’s a fan of Billy Childish’s blues stylings, or indeed any of the original bluesmen like Leadbelly, Sonny Boy Williamson or Robert Johnson.
The Sonics return to London!
It's coming up to Easter again and that means it's time for the annual mod-garage fest that is Le Beat Bespoke!
It's all happening over the Easter weekend, Thu 1/Fri 2/Sat 3/Sun 4 April 2010

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!
