Alkotron

About Me

"Alkotron" are Paul on Bass , Gilbert on Guitar,Roger on keys and Gerry on drums. Our main aim is to play the tunes the more discernable among us would view as food for the ears. After years of trying to conform to a sound which was viewed as either cool or contemporary , we decided enough is enough of this shit....and formed Alkotron. We decided from the off that only our opinion counts about what we play and in what style and believe whoever wants or indeed cares to have a listen will find something most agreeable within. Doing it now purely for the music , check out a gig , drop us a message ,give us a chance and you may just get one titanic dirty surprise!!!NEW MYSPACE LAYOUTS! **click here** for new layouts!
