Sweet Tooth

Next gig @ The Troubadour 15th July!

About Me

Do you long for the decadent days when stars of the silver screen were elusive, enigmatic, eternally elegant creatures; and hourglass ‘pin-ups’ came in a package more ‘playful’ than ‘Page 3'?

A time when newspaper scandals involved Vegas crooners, starlets and mobsters, rather than the juvenile exploits of today's spoiled heiresses and mimsy-flashing wannabes?

Do you wish that your ‘tinted glasses’ would not only colour the world rose, but also cast film-noir shadows and brush a twinkle of glitter over everything you view?

Is the soundtrack to this place a heady cocktail of glamorous lounge and sparkling 50s pop, set to the dark beat of a vintage drum?

Then welcome (willkommen and bienvenue!) to the world of Sweet Tooth, the brainchild of London-based bombshell Fleurtini, and producer Gavin Hammond...

”All looks and sounds highly delightful.”
Michael Nyman (composer/musician)

”Good voice, good songs – Bravo!”
Marc Collin (producer - Nouvelle Vague)

"The unaffected, sultry vocals by Fleurtini and nuanced, subtle production by guitarist Gavin Hammond give the London band Sweet Tooth an extraordinary allure. Their songs shine with a rare, unadorned beauty that is strikingly resonant. "Everybody Wants to Be in Love" won't soon drift from your mind. The playful "Mine All Mine" is another delight."
