Get Down Convention

About Me

"The Get Down Convention are a 5 piece outfit from West London and combine catchy and varied songs with an explosive and energetic live performance."

"Their musical style is hard to define, filling a void between pop punk and rock, with a dash of electro and cabaret."

"Monday came and as usual people are a bit reluctant to let themselves go on the first week night. Well, step on stage GET DOWN CONVENTION please. These fine young men had attitude, quirkiness and a great front-man"
