About Me

NOTE THE BELOW SHPEEL IS ABOUT OUR NOW DEFUNCT RAWK BAND BUT THIS PAGE IS NOW DEDICATED TO OUR CLUB NIGHT THAT HOSTS HOT BANDS AND ACE DJS AT CATCH 22 EVERY NOW AND THEN. ITS A GREAT PARTY YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT. WORD.................. ........................ .................... .................. ........................... .................... .................... .................We are from East London via various continents, consisting of 5 human males and have been described as new wave, art punk, post grunge, krelk rock & others. on 29th april NME pronounced us as the OFFICIAL ONES TO WATCH of this years camden crawl festival.___________________________________________________ __________________Our first recording was featured on a (quickly sold out) Fierce Panda e.p. which the NME described as "rock n' roll clatter that's making London exciting again". We also appear on the excellent Smalltown America's 'Public Service Broadcast ..7' and have been asked to contribute a track to the june issue of vice magazine's compilation cd and June being a busy month for compilations we'll also be featured on the first Tiscali Showcase Album.______________________________________________________ _____________We were invited personally by Tom Vek to support him on his UK tour, and picked as the only completely unsigned UK act to play SXSW in texas last year. We've also played with The Rakes, Art Brut, !!!, 80's matchbox b-line disaster, Pinback, Guillemots and others and with our night at the spreadeagle we're playing with some of the most interesting bands around at the moment._____________________________________________________ ______________Duel guitars, poundin drums, hard groove bass and freakout vox; our shows are upfront and juicy. As to the sound; think the compulsive songsmithery of the Pixies and Joy Division and the wry dementia of Talking Heads.______________________________________________________ _______________We are named after a doctor of neuroscience from the University of Colorado and are deeply, deeply in love with him.________________________________________________________ _____________S. Rock Levinson are unsigned.___________________________________________________ ___________________Speak to our manager susie for info.
