Gig Guide: Thu 24th Sep
Thu 24th Sep 20:00 CLUB NME :: THE ALFONZ :: THE ROULETTE :: BURDOCK
The Alfonz - It’s 1998. Swindon is enjoying a rare moment of success with Billie Piper’s ‘Girlfriend’ at Number One in the charts. Oblivious to this, Charlie nervously makes his way into the unfamiliar Year 2 classroom at his new primary school. Sam is sitting on the carpet, eagerly awaiting the start of lessons. Adam is busy eating crayons in the corner...again. Charlie tentatively sits down near Sam. Sam looks up from his new big boy’s shoes (with real laces) to see a face he doesn’t recognise looking lost and a little upset. “Hello,” says Sam “Who are you?” Charlie blinks before replying quietly, “I’m Charlie...”
Fast-forward eleven years to 2009. Adam, Charlie and Sam have been writing, gigging and recording for the last four years as The Alfonz. They’ve gigged all around the country, been played on Radio One several times, become the first and only unsigned band to sell out Swindon’s 300 capacity 12 Bar and been featured in Q Magazine.
The Roulette are a three piece rock n roll band. With influences such as Jimi Hendrix, The Stone Roses, and The Libertines. They provide an exciting and energetic live performance guaranteed to leave you wanting more.
Support from Derby band Burdock.
