This Is Not Revolution Rock

...it's something much less complex.

About Me

Hello. We put on gigs / club nights in and around London and Kingston-upon-Thames. We only put on bands we feel really passionate about - but feel free to get in touch if you think you could be our new favourite band.
We'll be honest though, if you send us a message asking to fill a slot on a certain date that we have a "TBC" for, there's very little chance we'll ask you to play. Usually when we book gigs we have a lineup in mind already and we're just waiting for bands we've asked to play, to get back to us and confirm.
Also note: You will not be our new favourite band if you are a shit hardcore / punk / ska / funk band, list any of your influences as Foo Fighters or Red Hot Chilli Peppers, have an 'attitude', or do not know what a DIY ethic constitutes.
