Free afternoon of garage punk rock 'n' roll from Galloping Dick and The Cryptkicker Five at Billy Bootleggers.
Galloping Dick and The Cryptkicker Five are playing Billy Bootleggers on Sunday 18 October, an afternoon session that runs from 13:00 to 17:00. Both bands hail from Sheffield, and they're bringing a garage punk rock 'n' roll sound to the city for the day.
Galloping Dick describe their own thing as suave, atmospheric rock 'n' roll with a prevailing sense of glamour and danger. It's a bit of a specific way of putting it, but it gives you a fair idea of the mood they're after. The Cryptkicker Five come from the same city, and their line-up has a bit of a story to it: they're said to feature washed-up members of Surf Muscle and slain members of The Sleazoids. If you've got any history with those names, you'll know the kind of territory they're working in.
Between the two of them, the afternoon is built on energetic musicianship and raw rock sensibilities, aimed at anyone who likes punk and rock. It's a double bill of Sheffield garage punk, so you'll get two sets in one go rather than just one band taking the stage.
