VIVE LE ROCK IS GOING TO BE THERE-GET YOUR ASS DOWN THERE TOO! GYPSY HOTEL Saturday 18 JUNE 2011 “Bourbon Soaked Snake Charmin’Rock’n’Roll Cabaret” The nomadic party continues and this time we check into the cosy Stags Head by the canal on the Hoxton/ Dalston border. STARRING: HIPBONE SLIM AND THE KNEETREMBLERS **Proper Voodoo Rhythm Rock'N'Roll! Hipbone Slim and the Kneetremblers play a mixture of rock n roll, rockabilly, surf, rhythm n blues, beat and garage, with influences ranging from as wide as hillbilly to ska and punk to mambo. The band is led by the ubiquitous Sir Bald Diddley on guitar and lead vocals. Sir Bald has been described as 'Britain's string king' in reference to his wild and fiery guitar style, influenced by Bo Diddley, Link Wray, Chuck Berry, Dick Dale. He is a man with over 250 song writing credits to his name and some very precarious stage antics, including the infamous 'Pea Bug' which involves much rolling around on the floor during guitar solos! He is currently also working on a new band project with ex Supergrass members! Bruce 'Bash' Brand (drums) is one of Britain's if not the world's finest rock 'n' roll drummers, playing in cult happenings such as the Milkshakes, Headcoats, Billy Childish, Holly Golightly and the Masonics, and also managing to work with the Pretty Things, Downliner Sect, Wreckless Eric, Mungo Jerry and make two albums with Link Wray along the way! Gastus Receedus (bass/harmonica), has played in many a band (Big Wigs, Arousers, Playboys etc.) and worked with many a rock n roll legend - Billy Lee Riley, Sonny Burgess, Dale Hawkins, Don and Dewey to name but a few! - Hipbone Slim and the Kneetremblers have four albums released on Voodoo Rhythm Records, all the great critical acclaim and all receiving considerable radio airplay.
