PRESS RELEASE:

GRAHAM DAY is a founder member of The Prisoners, The Prime Movers, Planet and The SolarFlares. He has also played drums with Billy Childish in Thee Mighty Caesars and bass guitar in The Buff Medways. He also appeared in the Gift Horses alongside Martin Blunt and Jon Brookes before they formed The Charlatans.

THE PRISONERS pre-empted the visceral energy of the Hives and the White Stripes and anticipated the baggy shuffle of the Charlatans and the Inspiral Carpets. Lead singer Graham Day's scorching Hendrix-influenced guitar riffs and organist James Taylor's (James Taylor Quartet) hypnotising Hammond whirls and irresistible go go rhythms. The Prisoners were such a solid unit - a bunch of fiercely independent anti-hipsters who exuded a dryly silly sense of humour - and owed as much to the Pretty Things and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, as the Small Faces, or Booker T. & The MGs.

“I’ll always be glad I saw The Prisoners at their peak. In my mind they are one of the great bands, the ones that people should wish that they saw & most people I know who were there believe the same. Steve Lamacq

THEE MIGHTY CAESARS I love Thee Mighty Caesars, you should too. This is Punk Rock/Rhythm & Beat as it should be, three chords, cheap gear & a healthy dose of hatred & contempt for the outside world. Steve Turner aka Stove Burner Mudhoney

Support band info:

THE KEEPERS hail from Belfast, Northern Ireland. They emerged from the ashes of two of the city's best live bands, namely the Thee Dreggs and The Cinnamon Firm. They have managed to retain the essence and power of both these bands but with an added dynamic that gives them their own distinct brand of Belfast beat. Their music is ingrained with elements of garage rock, R&B, mod and punk but refuses to be pigeon-holed into any of these genres, the only label that will stick is rock 'n' roll

THE REVELLIONS are one of the most recent garage surf bands to emerge from Dublin, and an excellent one at that. There's notable influence of that grit-edged raw garage sound of The Chocolate Watch Band in here, although played with a lot of surf guitar and moody organ sounds
