LORD ROCHESTER

DAMN FINE DOWN HOME ROCK AND ROLL FROM SCOTLAND
In keeping with great Rock & Roll, Lord Rochester embrace the simplicity of sound and song using the maraca powered shuffle of artists such as Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Jimmy Reed and Lonnie Mack to create great stripped back driven
rock and roll. Entertaining and stylish!
Lord Rockingham is the baby of “Big” Russ Wilkins original member of Thee Milkshakes alongside Billy Childish and current member of the amazing Wyldebeests. Co-starring the amazing “Lightning’ Saskia Holling music journalist and author of Girlsville ( The story of Thee Delmonas and Thee headcoatees) who is also a damn fine bass player from such bands as ‘Thee Girl Fridays’, ‘The Nettelles’ and ‘Sally Skull’. They will be joined in Australia by Tim Chillingsworth of “Big Earles’ road house barbeque” for some meaty drumming!
Scotland’s best sounding (and best looking) rock and roll show have toured Japan, played all over Europe storming the retro festival circuit there with appearances at Funtatsic, Green Fuzz, Rockin’ and the UK and toured their native Scotland from the Borders to Aberdeenshire and from the Central Belt to the
Highlands and not forgetting the Shetland Islands.

Lord Rochester are a breath of fresh air ... Not since King Kurt have I heard a band with such a complete understanding of what constitutes rock n roll, and then also had the ability to playfully subvert it, while remaining within the genre. ..
