I hear that a lot of bands avoid playing Britain, when on European tours.

I figured that it would be good if we had a list & brief description, of Quality gigging Brit garage bands, all in the same place (& maybe garage-friendly venues/clubs)

 Then bands could easily hook-up with other similar bands to get gigs, & Hopefully, gigs would be well attended, by receptive crowds, more $£ lucrative, with more merch sold etc...

It would also help the British bands/scene...

(BUT, Everyone thinks that their own band is great, or their own business could do with some more money, so you'd have to nominate bands etc that you have NO DIRECT CONNECTION with... so no advertising!)

So does anyone know of any decent current British bands??

 

We put on gigs in Bristol under the name of the Frathouse.

Coming up November we have the Hangee V, Mfc Chicken and The Fleshtones in December.

Support slot is usualy from one of our two local bands Los Imbeciles or Hi Class Joes and great DJ's.

Bands get paid, Get Beer, and a place to stay.

Look us up on facebook.

You can't go wrong with Thee Spivs! They seem to go all over and are often in Europe.

Cheers. Just checked them out, they look & sound awesome!

Atomic Suplex - are fuzzy and loud and on one of the Garagepunk comps

Yeah, I would have started off with Thee Vicars, if it wasn't for Chris's untimely passing...

The Mobbs http://garagepunk.ning.com/profile/TheMobbs from Northampton (middle of England) are a great live band. Very British, very retro, but wild & uptempo.

Thee vicars...
Otherwise dunno if they're still up and running but when we played in Scotland there were the brutes and the thanes (well les bof actually).
Yeah England was shit.
Scotland was the dog's bullocks though.
