About Me

"Roll-up, Roll-up, it's the Greatest Swindle Show on Earth.!" -On Broadway New York, BB Kings 2006.Subscribe to our Blog & keep updated on latest News & Events - (we won't message you to death or try to sell you stuff..!) for more news, update's, photos etc, Click on the banner below to be taken to our website.....Watch a clip of our latest promo Dvd HERE..!! 'Pretty Vacant' & 'God Save The Queen'!!The Sex Pistols Experience are the worlds leading & only professional tribute to the most outrageous & controvercial Rock'n'Roll band of all time.! They’ve played well over 1000+ worldwide shows, are regulars on the European touring & festival scene, & have, to date, completed three extensive tours of the USA, taking in cities from New York to Los Angeles, El Paso to Seattle & everywhere inbetween. So convincing is the live show that the BBC, Sky TV, Channel 4 and Fox t.v (in the u.s) have all hired them for re-enactments in film & T.V documentaries on punk and the Sex Pistols/Sid Vicious.

The Sex Pistols Experience have had the thumbs up from many of the original band and their inner circle – they’ve played live with Guitarist Steve Jones in Los Angeles, had bassist Glen Matlock guesting on the same bill in Liverpool, & Sid Vicious's guitarist 'Steve Dior' perform with them on stage at London's legendary 100 Club, and regularly play with Ed Tenpole Tudor, star of the Sex Pistols film ‘The Great Rock n Roll Swindle’.
No other Sex Pistols show has the commitment to perfecting the look and sound down to every last detail, making sure every concert performed is as dynamic, explosive & exciting as the 'real deal'. They have all the spit & venom of the ‘77 period, blended with the ability of the seasoned musicians of the 1996 & 2003 reformation tours.
A Sex Pistols Experience show is a rare chance to hear all the classics from one of the most influential albums of all time - 'Never Mind the Bollocks', ripping through gigs with rousing renditions of ‘Pretty Vacant’, 'God Save The Queen', ‘Anarchy in the U.K’, ‘Holidays in the Sun’, Sid’s Vicious's classic version of ‘My Way’, plus a few suprises, B side's & rarities thrown in. All performed LIVE by talented musicians, who first & formost, are lifelong fan's of the band themselves!

This band have earned their wings through sheer determination & hard work, often in the face of adversity & uphill battles to win over the approval of the most critical of audiances & die-hard fan's around the world. Gaining recognition in the entertainment capital of the world - as "Pick of the Week" for their 2nd apperance in Las Vegas! Going on to perform a sell-out show at BB Kings on Broadway -New York, elevating themselves to the top of the tree amongst u.k based tribute bands. Playing both for the fan's of 30 years ago who may never of got a chance to see their hero's live, and the new younger generation who are just finding out what all the fuss is about! From a band who still today are a lasting influence on many of todays successful chart topping groups.

Re-creating the same electric atmosphere & awesome wall of sound, always give the impression that anything could happen, and always leave the crowds shouting for "More-More..!" Accept no alternatives - the rest are just fakes, "Who Killed Bambi??" - "We did.!" - The Sex Pistols Experience.!

Watch a Bit more of our latest Promo Dvd here..! 'Anarchy In the UK' & Somethin'Else...Here's what some of the fan's have said recently... - "They were absolutely brilliant! Live, loud and superb! This has to be the ultimate 'Sex Pistols' tribute and the best in the punk genre. Mannerisms, abuse, clothing, performance on stage. They don't take themselves seriously but really play out the character roles so much so next stop "Sex Pistols - The Musical!" and these are the guys to do it! What a show! What a night! This is one performance I will certainly remember for a long time. It was fun, it was entertaining and we loved it! If there is tribute band I recommend you must see then it is "The Sex Pistols Experience" and I've been an ABBA fan for most of my life! This punk band has left such a lasting impression that I will see them again and again without hesitation. -Bristol Rocks website"The highlight of the whole festival was you blokes, i've been a Sex Pistols fan as far back as i can remember and never had the privalidge of seeing them live in their prime. That performance on saturday was just BRILLIANT!, It felt like i was back in 1977!" - Tony.R. East midlands" You guys were f*cking brilliant at the festival!! - The moshing during your performance was a lot more frenzied and energetic than anyone else in the line-up. All the comments from the people around us who had not seen you before were in glowing terms and that continued long after you had finished. I realise now that with your sound that you are better suited for the Festival stage than a small venue. Everyone’s performance was exemplarily with fantastic guitar playing along with the banter provided between the songs by `John’, `Sid’ & `Paul’. ( You naughty boy Sid ! ). You blew everyone away and were the best act that I saw whilst I was there. - Nigel .S Midlands " The Sex Pistols Experience took to the stage and they looked so much like the original it was scary!! They played, dare i say it, better than the original band! I was fortunate enough to do the sound last night and the quality of the live sound was awesome, really awesome!. There were no negatives from anyone in the audience, everyone was blown away. -Soundman - Worsop."Absolutely extraordinary!!!!! They were superb, one of the best band I have ever seen (& there have been many) The sound was amazing, a delicious wall of Sex Pistols music. I never saw the real deal until Crystal Palace but did see PIL in the early days on several occasions, not quite tears in the eyes on Saturday but defiantly goose pimples!" - Martin.N, Tamworth."I dont normally bother with feedback after any gig,but just thought I had too after this one.....Gotta say,wotta superb party at the Boat Trip last week,I know it wasn't part of the script - but ending the same way as it did 30yrs ago with Police gettin on board and slinging us all off for whatever reason, good or bad, spot on!!! ..... And after that, there aint no way you'll ever get a licence to do it again anyway ........ Brilliant !!! ......." - Paul.K, Bristol albums/w67/sexpistolsexperience/may10thglebe.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"Sid Vicious's 'My Way' - By Kid Vicious done His Way... <param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" /

Band Members: THE BAND ARE AVAILABLE & ACCEPTING BOOKINGS NOW FOR ALL DATES IN 2008, FESTIVAL ORGANISERS, PROMOTERS, AGENTS & VENUES SHOULD GET IN TOUCH NOW & GET YOUR DATE'S BOOKED...

'Johnny Rotter' takes to the stage with all the manic, man-possessed energy required to leave any audience spell-bound, with 'stare' & 'stance' down to perfection and an arsenal of one-liners to boot. Don't mess with Johnny, he'll shoot you down in flames!

Kid Vicious posing and playing up to the crowd, fighting for attention, but only getting it from 'Nancy Pungent', who during his 'Kid Sings' set might join him on stage at the microphone. He definitely does it 'his way', but unlike 'Sid' the 'Kid' can play, and don't get too close or that bass might come swinging your way.!?

Steve Bones in his tight leather Jean's, trade mark Gibson & an eye for the girls, plays, as Steve Diggle of the 'Buzzcocks' said of him " A crashing guitar sound Steve Jones would be proud of..!"

Paul Crook drives the whole thing along relentlessly with the powerhouse of his solid, pounding, drum kit. Always late, but never missing a beat.! Sat proudly behind his Premier Union Jack drum - kit flying the flag for the Sex Pistols Experience!

Then there's Nancy, always knocking about somewhere causing trouble, can usually be found selling off T-shirts at the merch stall, sometime's the group manage to get away without telling her there's a gig tonight!! So she's not always there! But if you want to stay on the right side of her - a Vodka & coke will do it.!

Look out for the new limited edition C.d/Dvd set coming to all good music store's in Febuary, the C.D will feature selected live tracks from 'the' Sex Pistols & Sid's last u.k gig, the Dvd will be a song-by-song analysis by noted pistols/Sid biographer Alan parker of the entire Bollocks album, showing the Sex pistols Experience perform each track live.! Its the first time the Sex Pistols & the 'Sex Pistols Experience' have appeared on the same product together. & we're proud to say, & pretty sure, that NO OTHER tribute band has ever appeard on any product with their subjects in the past.! & Here's a Sneeky Preview of the Dvd from 'All out Anarchy', & just to prove we DO NOT use guitar backing tracks live (!) (We nearly fell over laughing at that recent accusation.! although a back-handed compliment in a way.!?) - see if you can spot Bonesy's guitar howler....!?THE SEX PISTOLS EXPRIENCE WILL BE APPEARING AT THIS YEAR'S 'GLASTONBUDGET' FESTIVAL, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 24TH. And We'll be at the NEW west country V.W Festival - Plymouth Volksfest on Bank Holiday weekend may 23rd - 26th (Crooky might even bring his amazingly rare V.W Bus down too...)WE CAN ALSO CONFIRM 'FARMER PHILS FEST' NEAR SHREWSBURY:- http://www.farmerphilsfestival.co.uk/ OTHER FESTIVAL ENQUIRIES ARE ON-GOING - if you want the Sex pistols Experience at your event - get in touch now.?Anyone want to know the real story behind the deaths of Sid & Nancy ?? Then go get this book - available from 'Orion books' - & we're in it too..!! -( find out if we had anything to do with the murders!?)

Influences: ..Aside from the obvious, we're Influenced only by all the positive responses from friends & fan's the world over..."They Really ARE the Sex Pistols - superb!" - Steve Jones (Sex Pistols guitarist). "Sounds like Fun - The cheeky buggers!!" - Glen Matlock (Sex pistols bassist) "They're a Bunch of Sod's!!" - Captain Sensible (The Damned) "Been looking forward to seeing you lot" - Dave Vanien (The Damned) "Very weird to see my old friend Sid up there on stage again!? - "Soo Catwoman"Pure Theatre at its very finest" - Ed Tudor Pole"Let me tell you from personal experience, their attention to detail is stunning!" - Alan Parker (Sid Vicious/Pistols biographer)"There are great gig's, & great events, - this was both.!" Ray Morrissey (www.raysgigs.com) "You changed my mind about tribute bands, -this really mean's something man, done brilliantly!" - Steve Dior (sid's guitarist) "Fuck me!!" - Steve 'Rodent' Connolly (Pistols/Clash roadie) "Never Mind the Bollocks usually aimed at tribute bands - this one's NOT a Rock'n'Roll Swindle!" - The Daily Star "The finest tribute to the classic Punk legends - a 'must see' for all punk fans" - ents 24 "Before they'd even played a note i knew something great was going to happen - & it did!" - Where magazine "We were blown away. I've seen and worked with a lot of tribute bands over the years and I have to say that was the best f***ing show I have ever seen!!" -Setting Son's (Top 'Jam' tribute) "Well if you ever plan on going to see a tribute band - then this is the one to see! Ive been to nights of punk tribute acts but Ive never heard a band who sound so like who they are trying to be as the SEX PISTOLS EXPERIENCE do. 10 out of 10 for a good laugh and a good band.!" Zero Hour Punk zine "The Sex Pistols Experience are quite frankly terrifying in their authenticity, the look, the sound, and the swagger are all right on the money." - Gloucester Guild Hall "The Sex Pistols Experience were excellent - looking like the band used to back in the 70s. Having seen the real Pistols at Finsbury Park and Crystal Palace in recent years, I can truthfully say that this lot are as close as you`ll ever get to the originals. The music and posing were S.P.O.T.S. on!" - Cornish live gig review."Normally we would give tribute bands a wide berth but this lot are right on the money. A credible substitute for the real thing at a fraction of the price!" Camden New journal This was a great show, these guys do the works - with an attention to detail second to none it's non stop Pistol mania, perfectly played aggression, a hands in the air attack. You know all the words, can't resist singing along and enjoying dare we say it ..fun! We were honoured with a unifying appearance of Eddie Tudorpole - Superb.! - 'Xplosure.co.uk' "Maybe John (Lydon) & Co' need a reminder of how their song's should really sound.!" - Daily Express.
Sounds Like: Live? - Sound's alot like 'Never Mind The Bollocks', - voted one of the greatest album's of all time.! And, sometimes (with Ed Tenpoles help) - we might do a bit of the Rock'n'Roll Swindle...!For those too young to remember - & for those old enough to have forgotten - here's a little reminder...
