***ROAMING SON***Roaming Son are a Sheffield based band that mix earthy heartfelt vocals with twangy dirty guitars, greasy bass and jungle drums to create a sound that is influenced by the classic rock’n’roll recordings of the 50′s / 60′s but while adding a distinctive modern flavour. From brash to beautiful, the sound of chainsaws & rainbows.
“
100 % Sheffield Rock’n’Roll” –
Sheffield Scenesterhttp://www.facebook.com/roamingsonuk***TSAR NICHOLAS III & THE EXILES***Tsar Nicholas III & The Exiles rose from the ashes of former Leeds bands ‘The Silver Tree Club’ and ‘Tenderloin’. Frontman Nick Wallace and guitarist Don Mort experimented with different line ups and instrumentation including accordion, ukelele and banjo before settling on the current incarnation. After adding Joel Smith on bass and Danny O’Neil on drums, Joel’s basement became the creative hub of the project, serving as a studio, rehearsal room, pub and padded cell. Out of that melting pot of ideas and personalities came their understated debut album ‘Letter of Marque’.
Whilst still being based around the gutteral narrative of Nick’s voice the current album in progress has taken a different turn since the addition of Toby Wiltshire on sax, keys and anything they find that makes a good noise. The sound now is more raw and stripped down taking in moments of free improvisation, the energy of the blues and dark brooding songwriting. The obvious comparisons are made with Tom Waits, Nick Cave and Johnny Cash but imagine they were from the North of England and grew up with acid house and cheap Netto Scotch and turned that experience into something thrilling and feeling and melodic and powerful. The live shows are loose, edgy, raucous and never the same twice.

“
The Coma Girls, our headliners for the night, are not girls in fact they are a bunch of fellas. Leading in with a very Rolling Stones sounding song about a train with added wooh wooohs it sounds like they’ve borrowed something from Sympathy from the Devil. As their set continues there’s a notable Americana influence from Neil Young, Tom Petty and even The Boss. It’s energetic, entertaining and a great end to a very enjoyable evening”
