About Me



The Stilts, formed by a fist full of music freaks in mid 2006, combine a roots rock sound with back-beat hooks and big smiles. With diverse influences and playing styles, they have created an original sound without compromising on the band members' individual music tastes.
Whilst developing their style, the band built up a following on the London gig circuit, initially having no clue whatsoever as to what they were doing. Sinking to the depths of playing an 80's style hard rock version of Lola, the future looked very bleak. Thankfully The Stilts were blessed with good friends who kindly remarked that the covers sucked. The band quickly ditched Sweet Home Alabama and got on with writing some of their own tracks.
With a full set up and running the band honed its live performance, combining punk energy with ska beats and blues riffs. The guitarist was squeezed into a pair of jeans tailored for an ostrich, the frontman bought the most shiny tour bus known to man, the drummer depleted half the Amazonian rain forest in replacement drumsticks and the bassist got really irritated with the guitar centre for selling him a faulty bass. All of these factors combined to make The Stilts a live force to be reckoned with, and they have now garnered a reputation for laying on a great show.
