THE BEETROOT KINGS are a Mansfield based five piece folk/rock/indie
band who formed in May 2007. Gary Armstrong lead singer, guitarist and
songwriter in THE BEETROOT KINGS states, "Its taken a lot of hard work
to find the right musicians to build a band with as the stuff i write
isnt exactly mainstream (at the minute!!!) I met Dan Booth 7 years ago,
he was playing fiddle in warsop based band FEROCIOUS DOG, I was
fronting ollerton based band MILE HIGH MOVER. Ever since we've met up
regularly and jammed ideas and songs. He fits so well into what i
write. Since the creation of the band we have seen some line up
changes, all necessary in ensuring the right musicians are brought
together to do the material justice. Luckily we live within a very
musical environment and the rest of the line up are all local lads with
a passion for the music we have produced. A combination of Bluey on
bass, Ben on drums and Graham on guitar all compliment the material and
has given a raw powerful and infectious sound to the songs created by
Gary with the creative input of Dan. The sound and style is unique yet
palatable to just about any music enthusiast and thus the band has
gained a strong following. So now it is for you to listen and hopefully
love what we have done and will continue to do. THE CALLING E.P is the
first studio release from THE BEETROOT KINGS, They are currently
finishing off thier first album which will be self released in august.
Keep an eye on the gig dates to see when THE BEETROOT KINGS will be
playing THE CALLING e.p and songs from the new album IT IS I...LE'
CLARE plus there extensive back catalogue at a venue near you.
See you all at the gigs....

You can call it Hard Rock, Heavy Rock, Biker Rock, Classic Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Sleazy Rock, Hippy-Trippy-Folk Rock, Garage Rock, Punk Rock…
Whatever, it still ROCKS! Which is exactly what G M T do best. Effortlessly, in fact. On the surface, a simple three-piece, yet the pedigree of the members is unbeatable: Bernie Tormé – Guitar God/ Psychedelic Shredmeister/ Glam Punk Sleaze Rock Frontman. Universally known for heroically stepping in & saving the day for Ozzy Osbourne, when Randy Rhoads tragically died, world tours & international fame as lead axe-man in Gillan; also forming the nucleus of Desperado with Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider & ex Iron Maiden drummer Clive Burr, as well as fronting his own bands Electric Gypsies/ Torme (with Phil Lewis of L.A. Guns/ Girl fame), Bernie is renowned for bringing his punk vibe to the arenas. He's also an Irish nutcase. John McCoy – Lead Bass/ Living Legend/ Larger Than Life. Quite frankly who John hasn't played with, written for, or produced over the years isn't worth writing about! A small few include Gillan, Mammoth, Samson, Joey Belladonna (Anthrax), U.K. Subs, Atomic Rooster, Sun Red Sun etc etc. A man mountain with a huger sound, it should also be known that John McCoy has played on over 50 albums...! It's a similar story with UK powerhouse drummer Robin Guy, drumming since he was a glint in his Father's eye, a quick credit check reveals rhythmical involvement with such names as: Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden), Faith No More, Lars Frederiksen (Rancid), Casey Chaos (Amen), The Business, Rachel Stamp, All About Eve, Martin Grech, SackTrick, Adam Ant, & many more! His day job has included headlining Wacken Open Air to 40,000 metalheads, surviving 55 shows in 60 days in the U.S., & playing festivals in Belgium and Essex...on the same day! Robin's loud, obnoxious style helps him fit perfectly between Bernie's wit, and John's charm, in fact you could say G M T is a three-way marriage gone horribly right! Bernie: "Frankly it was going to take something really big to get me off my lazy arse and into the studio. John and Robin and G M T are that really big thing. G M T is big, loud, raw, rough, real, exciting, delicate, and unbelievably heavy. We're recording it just as it is: we don't need no stinking 1000 overdubs to create that wall of sound, we just play." John: "We popped out for a couple of shows, to test the material and word got out – a bunch of fans flew over from Denmark to see the show – seeing as how Bernie & myself haven't been on stage together since '81, we knew this had to be special. The Danish fans also brought their 50 albums for me to sign… I was happy to oblige!" Robin: "The first time I met Bernie Tormé & John McCoy, I was recording some session in Bernie's studio and we just clicked right away - the music, the style, the rock n' roll, the humour & vibes were right for one another (not to mention the free flowing Jamesons…). Or maybe we are the only people that can put up with each other... either way, the end result, for what we have achieved in a very short space of time speaks for itself! This album is gonna turn heads, as well as makin 'em bang!" |

101% PANTERA + SUPPORT Admission £6.00 Tickets Available Ticket Hotline: 02476 347402

101%PANTERA are a tribute act currently on tour in the uk to great acclaim. Formed in late April 2007, and on the road by the end of June the same year, the band graduated quickly to the larger rock and metal venues and have built a large following through relentless gigging. 101%Pantera are dedicated to reproducing the live energy of a Pantera show to its fullest, and many fans are describing them as the best Pantera tribute act in the world. Make no mistake, the technical brilliance of this band is second to none, comprising pro musicians experienced in the UK heavy metal circuit and playng in bands such as Ted Maul, Voodoo Six and The Defiled. So if you are a fan of Pantera, and possibly never had the chance to catch them live, check out a 101%Pantera show and join in the celebration of the giants of metal and the late, great Dimebag Darrel Hans Menacho is 'Vinnie Peru', our Peruvian replica of Vinnie Paul. Hans originally plyed in a Pantera tribute act in his native country before moving to the UK. Hans is sponsored by MAPEX drums and PAISTE cymbals. Lucky bastard Patrick Reily is 'Paddy Anslemo', an irish street brawler who prowls the stage with the controlled aggression of the real Anselmo. There isn't a microphone on the market strong enough to withstand a pat pounding. Psycho. Dylan Cooper is 'Rex HashBrown'. A lean mean wiry bass playing machine just like the original Pantera bass player. Dylan is also a proficient guitarist and producer. Yes even under his camo combats, he wears camo boxers. Nutter. Chris Jones is 'Hooverbag Darrel'. With performances described as 'flawless' and 'astounding', Chris has gathered a reputation as the best Dimebag impersonator on the planet. Absolutely note for note playing, but what else could you expect from a guy who practices sometimes 8 hours a day. He has appeared on Guitarmaggeddon, a Total Rock Radio show magazine, which has featured players such as Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and John Petrucci, as an expert in Dimebag playing style. He also plays in Voodoo Six. Cocky twat! |

.......DRESSED TO KILL are STILL the ONLY UK KISS tribute band to have

followed by a debut and then a return to play 3 shows in Sweden, and a
debut in Norway at the 'Sentrum' in Oslo in 1994; And then continuing

KILL are the ONLY KISS tribute band to undertake a theatre tour of
Japans major cities: Nagoya, Osaka, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Tokyo, Niigata,
and Sendai this came just months prior to KISS's Japanese leg of their
Reunion tour, who played in 6 of those 7 cities................DRESSED
TO KILL have been featured on Channel 4 (RI:SE & Rock School), Mtv
(Headbangers ball), and NHK (Japanese satellite tv), and have been seen
by more people than any other KISS tribute band, due to 'Rock School'
being syndicated to the U.S, Australia, New Zealand, and Scandinavia,
(AND the show also being available on DVD!); and both Mtv & NHK
being beamed to the whole of Europe.............And in striving for
authenticity, DRESSED TO KILL use only Gibson, Pearl, Zildjian, Ahead,
Marshall, Ibanez, Spector, Washburn, Silvertone, Ampeg, and Epiphone,
and have had replicas made of those instruments used by KISS where
originals are no longer available. DRESSED TO KILL - DOING IT LONGER
