The Gutter Brothers emerged in the late 1980's as a busking band based in London, regulars on the Covent Garden street scene. They released their first album 'Isometric Boogie' in 1988, and TV appearances followed on BBC's Jukebox Jury, MTV Europe, Jools Holland's Happening, and ITV's Night Network and First Exposure. The band toured constantly in the UK, Europe and the US from 1989 to 1993, sharing stages with the likes of Dr Feelgood, Desmond Dekker, Albert Lee, Steve Harley, Debbie Harry and Jools Holland. In 1991 they composed and recorded the theme and incidental music for the Central TV comedy drama Gone To The Dogs starring Jim Broadbent, Alison Steadman and Harry Enfield. Their second album Gone To The Dogs, consisting of songs written for and inspired by the TV show, was released around the same time the series aired. Later that same year they composed and recorded the soundtrack music to 'Fools & Horses' Christmas special Miami Twice. Their Failsafe EP was released featuring their cover of The Lovin Spoonful song Summer In The City which had been used as the title song. In early 1993 a live album Already Dead was released, and the band split later that year when lead singer Tony returned to live in his native New Orleans. The original line-up of Tony Green (vocals), Chris Cawte (guitar), Steve Turner (bass) and Jeff Walker (drums) has reunited for a handful of UK shows on a roughly annual basis since 2003 following the death of founding member Dennis Johnson (tea-chest bass and lyrics). In 2008 the band released 'El Krusho', an album dedicated to Dennis' memory which featured new songs composed using remaining lyrics written by him. A new recording of previously unreleased songs,, Mother Primeval' followed in 2014.

Payola - Classic indie rock fare Abrasive early Arctic Monkeys guitars and a bit of classic Britpop swagger, damn fine tunes too. Distorted Model - hooky female fronted dreampop via old school jangly indie such as The Darling Buds Kill Bosco - also hooky as in Peter Hooky what with the probing bass lines, uber indie chiming guitars and a keening Manics like melodic appeal. Zippy power-pop/indie rock. Pin -Up Gurus - marvellously moody Gothic psych. Some nifty guitar work and stomping rhythms and a sultry vocal. Slinky, sinister, sassy. Sure.

In 1991 Attila and Otway wrote a very silly Rock Opera, 'Cheryl' - an everyday story of Satanism, Trainspotting, Drug Abuse and Unrequited Love. It was a big hit at the Edinburgh Fringe, believe it or not! They're reviving it for its 35th Anniversary and performing it at Rebellion Festival and for 5 shows at the PBH Free Fringe at Bannerman's in Edinburgh. This Dublin Castle show will hopefully provo they can remember it all. 'Cheryl' will be the second half of this gig and in the first half they'll be doing part of the 'Headbutts & Halibuts' show they have done occasionally for the past three decades: basically mucking around together and separately. Otway's Hits, some poems from Attila's new book, and collaborations like the Glue Medley and the German translation of 'You AIn't Seen Nothing Yet'. Chaos.

Abbey Moon - shimmering guitars and plaintive crooning on some impressively melodic and progressive slow burning material, juxtaposed with explosive, upbeat indie pop numbers. Superb stuff.
