Scott Lavene

Scott Lavene

19 Nov 2026 - 29 Nov 2026

In support of his upcoming single, My Kinda Girl, Scott Lavene has announced an 11 date UK tour throughout September. My Kinda Girl is the third in a series of singles put out this year that will pave the way for his forthcoming debut album in 2019. Born in Essex, Scott Lavene was raised on power ballads, punk and swearing. In bands since his teens, Scott travelled about, scratching out a living with deadbeat jobs trying to find something to cling to. After couple of years in France and a brief stint in New York, including a playing at the infamous CBGB's Scott returned to London and came close to a major label deal with his sordid songs. Instead Scott disappeared on a rusty old boat, a floating shed, for five years. Hiding from the world. Broke and bemused. Solitude and lonely debauchery. After five years of this Scott went kaput, so spent some time in a house for the bewildered where he emerged full of life and songs. A self released album in a band called Big Top Heartbreak led to being signed to Funnel Music as a solo artist. The first single, 'It's All Gonna Blow' has been played by Steve Lamacq on his BBC 6Music show and Scott had a residency at the Brighton Fringe as well as a sell out show at Crofters Rights in Bristol for the 7inch vinyl release show.
Zombie Met Girl, The Spike Direction Effect, The Army Of Skanks
Zombie Met Girl take their influences from the 70s U.S. garage punk scene (The Ramones, The Cramps The Dead Kennedys, The Stooges) but have a style all of their own making. Their lyrics are different, like something out of the best 1960s sci-fi/horror movies! Their songs get lodged in your brain like a rusty steel spike! Their sound is punk with a difference! Live, they never fail! Nick is dynamic as the front man with Frazer, Tim and Steve as the pounding force behind! They never leave a stage without the crowd wanting more! The Spike Direction This band got me with one video ! and i was hooked. The best way to describe them is psychobilly adjacent garage/blues. Its epic stuff. The Army Of Skanks And returning to Duffy's is Coventry punksters The Army Of Skanks who always go down well. The Army Of Skanks are a female-fronted alternative/punk 'n' roll 4-piece from Coventry. Punk Rock Warrior Women with their man whippet on drums.

The Amber Squad + the Sleepers + Tri-Subversion
The Amber squad The Amber Squad bring vibrant, high-energy power-pop and pub-rock shaped since the late ’70s. Their debut single, boosted by John Peel, launched them onto stages across the UK. Reuniting in 2015, they’ve continued to impress at top venues at home and abroad. With original members still driving the sound, The Amber Squad deliver catchy melodies, tight performances and an enduring, feel-good musical punch. The sleepers The Sleepers return to the stage with the energy that made them one of the most exciting underground bands to emerge from the late ‘70s punk scene. Formed in 1979, the band first made their mark with the cult-favourite Angel in a Raincoat EP, gaining national attention and airplay from John Peel. Their melodic, hard-hitting sound led to support slots with the Skids and Cockney Rejects and cemented their reputation across the UK and Europe. Revived decades later after a Berlin band covered their debut single, The Sleepers hit the stage once again to packed rooms and an international fanbase. Recent releases on Queen Mum Records and a successful 2025 run have reignited demand for their powerful live shows. Tri-subversion Free thinking alt-punk. Philosopher warrior poets of freedom. Stand up be counted speak out fight back, fuck the consequences. Freedom is war.
