Bikini Beach Band
Walthamstow Trades Hall, E17 4RQ , [Venue Details]The Bikini Beach Band’s unusual take on Surf guitar music (they call it ‘Surf-Noir’) has its roots in the late 50s/early 60s bands like The Ventures and The Shadows, mixing classic surf and rock and roll numbers such as Wipe Out and Miserlou with contemporary pop songs such as Blue Monday and Toxic.
A combination of wild costumes, great set moves and fantastic Rock and Roll! This never fails to fascinate and entertain audiences who always end up smiling, dancing and singing along.
Their choice of material and sheer musical audacity and wit elevates this simple formula into something fresh, exciting, and above all, entertaining. Who else could mash Radiohead's Creep up with Richie Valens' La Bamba, call it La Creepa, and make it both danceable and funny? On-stage, the boys themselves remain silent and resolutely deadpan at all times – much to everyone's delight.
Formed in the Brit Pop era the BBB achieved instant notoriety with their cheeky covers of Oasis and Blur which made them firm favourites on BBC’s GLR station and in the music press of the day, even scoring ‘Single of the week’ in NME with their second offering. Conquering Soho with a residency for Club Indigo at M’me Jo Jo’s and Camden as regulars at Blow Up the band became a fave with other bands and played as openers for Pulp at Finsbury Park and at parties for Dodgy and La Roux among others.
