Tyla's Dog's D'Amour + guest Soho Dukes

Tyla's Dogs D'Amour are playing Hangar 18 Music Venue in Swansea on Friday 13 November, with Soho Dukes as special guests. The night is brought to you by Cross Border Music Group, and it's part of a November tour that sees the two bands sharing the bill across several dates.

Soho Dukes are a London and South-East rock band formed in 2027, and they're the ones who lean into the joke that they're the offshoot of a nineteenth-century drinking club. In reality, bassist Bomber and vocalist Johnny Barracuda had known each other for years from Monterrez, the band that opened for Guns N' Roses at London's Marquee Club back in 1987. Since getting together, they've put out two independent albums: Bar Fights & Tuppenny Uprights in 2021 and Golden Age of the Barber's Chair in 2024. Their sound draws comparisons with 1970s heavyweights like The Rolling Stones, Small Faces, Mott the Hoople and Heavy Metal Kids.

They're touring with a new record, Nighthawks, Acrobats and Everything Under The Moon, distributed by Cargo Records. That one features guest appearances from Spike of The Quireboys and ex-Bad Company's Dave 'Bucket' Colwell, so there are some familiar names on the tracklist. The Swansea date is one of several they're playing this month as part of the tour.

The night runs from 19:00 to 22:30, with Tyla's Dogs D'Amour and Soho Dukes both on the bill. Standard entry was £17.50, though that's now off sale.
