WATLING FEST 08 London's best rock Fest

About Me

The very rock n' roll AFAKTOR scares the hell out of Britney Spears fans with a wall of potent rock/metal sound. Mill Hill's fabulous AFAKTOR. These guys are not your normal rock band but a well produced monster 3 man unit of power and sonic glory. They license the powerful, anthemic, mosh pit fave, diging out it's full metal laced rock glory. With build in rock riffs, mammoth drums and potent vocals that infect the soul. Afaktor is dark as hell, loud and very stadium like. The music is inventive and doesn't just stick to one genra but instead it changes and metamorphosis into a serious masterminded musical metal stravaganza! "Nostrasamus" "predictions of Fire" screams very talented singers Fil Ross and Stretch Edwards The full line up is : Fil Ross ( Vocals, guitar ), Stretch Edwards ( Bass and vocals ) and Rafi Utudjian playing drums. Afaktor are a living example of a hard playing rock n' roll band and are so hot they are literally on fire when they play live. Frontman Fil Ross is a highly unpredictable, emotionally driven character. You never know what you going to get... always memorable. He is the Punk connection. The towering Stretch Edwards, with 70's Rock Star looks, gives the bottom end. Solid as a rock, he will never have a hair cut again! and Rafi Utudjian is a distant relative of System of the Down and literally gets into his drums when playing live. Hot, thick, fast and stunning. They will never say die.You cant miss this band!The band was created by Mario and Francesco in 2002, the band went through various line up changes in regards to the drummer and bass player, and recorded 2 demos over the past 4 years throughout these changes. eventually the line up settled when Jano joined as the drummer,and Sam as the bass player. check their O.C.D. album recorded in Berlin with Thommy Hein. They have toured around Europe setting everyone on fire with there infectious industrial metal. There is nothing like 2kings. Be certain to be blown away!Exuberant Indie, Post Punk, Ginger Bread Men are a raucous yet tuneful treat. Having supported the likes of Lupen Crook, The Ripps, The Paddingtons, Athelete, The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster and Babyshambles, Ginger Bread Men are set to unleash their brand of infectious, dirty rock and roll on the world. These four young lads' from North London (often referred to by their fans as GBM) are well known on the gig circuit for sending crowds away happy and drawing an even bigger one next time out.Ginger Bread Men are in a fight that can't be won. The future's bright, the future's ginger!Once upon a time, there was a leaf in a field. The leaf had just fallen from a rotton tree full to the brim with worms. The leaf was red in colour, and shivered like a Chiwawa. As the clouds blew over and the sun turned black, a whiskey rain drop fell from a brown cloud in the sky and landed in the centre of the leaf. Seeds immediately threw themselves from the leaf and scattered across the land. Around 25 years later, the leaf still lies in the field, surrounded by 4 of the seeds; Alex, Mit, Alan & Dave. The tree holding all the secrets of the past, and the worms as its messengers, Box Monster are alive.Deal with it.The Masters of Death are a powerhouse trio, fuelled by a passion forged in the fires of Hades and backed up by genius songwriting and maverick musicianship. "The bestest mentalist most metalist and menacing progadelic rockandroll outfit currently straddling the land leviathan like."
