Two years and two hundred gigs later their electrifying live stage act has earned Rosalita scores of fans:

'Post punk pioneers' - Steve Lamacq
'They look pretty. They look cocky. They've got an odds on hit in Manga Girl' - NME

The Brascoes

 

The Maffa Kings
From the Embers of some of the Midland's supreme live bands, come ‘The Maffa Kings’ who be Rich Wosik (vox/guitars), Craig Johnson (toffee hammer), Daz (bass) & Matt ‘Haddock’ Harris (pots and pans). A band who boast a live show to rival any band and music to match, ‘The Maffa Kings’ illustrate a musical interest wide & varied from each member within, thus creating a unique sound of funky, dynamic rhythm with blues/southern rhythm and riffage. The proof as they say is in the puddin’!
