Sound Premiere: Bandini. Such A Night.

Bandini Such A Night

Bandini is a singer-songwriter born and bred in Italy and based in London, raised on jazz and blues and the art of storytelling and song-writing from an early age. He began showcasing his talent on the London streets before building a presence on the Open Mic circuit with his individual blend of acoustic jazz and blues and distinctive vocals.

His new single Such A Night, a version of the Dr John classic is released on January 13th at a special gig at one of the coolest places around, the wonderfully bohemian, Jamboree in London. Bandini will be playing with his exciting live ten piece band.

The cd has two tracks and the second is Song Of The Devil (Live at Perry Vale).

It’s A Rampage! The Zipheads Play Z2: Rampage In Full In London!

Good things come to those who wait, as the old advert slogan goes, and we’ve been waiting a decade to hear The Zipheads’ Z2: Rampage played in full with all of that Zipheads energy and magic that we love about their live shows. Tonight, they’ve taken over London’s iconic 100 Club for their mighty celebration of their second album, and we’re in for a hell of a party. They’re supported by Jay Vee & The Cardinal Sins, the same garage punk trio who were there 10 years ago for the album launch show. The occasion is made even more special as it’s their bassist Mike’s last show with the band.
