EDDIE & THE HOT RODS
One of the most highly influential and recognisable names from the English Rock scene, Eddie & The Hot Rods have enjoyed a career that has now spanned over 40 years.
Although often categorised as one of the founding fathers of the punk era, they were simply interested in playing loud, fast, in your face Rock ‘n’ Roll and that remains true to this day. The energy and attitude certainly endeared them to the punks, but the hard and fast style that made them one of the most exciting bands of the era has never really dated or gone out of style. Eddie & The Hot Rods were included in the Mojo Top 100 of most influential bands and they are often cited as an inspiration for many upcoming new bands.
Unfortunately, in October 2019 came the awful news that founder member Barrie Masters had passed away at the age of only 63 after a legendary career at the sharp end of the band. Decisions about the Band's future were soon overtaken by the arrival of the global Covid-19 pandemic, which effectively halted all live music activity for the next 18 months.
Thanks to the enduring appeal of the music, support from their fans and a never failing desire to get out there and make some noise, the band decided to continue touring with a new album and as always, the utmost respect for Barrie's memory.
Now fronted on Vocals by Ian 'Dipster' Dean with Simon ‘Basher’ Bowley on Drums and Richard Holgarth on Guitar, this line up has been the core of The Hot Rods for the last 25 years. Joined by Bassist Mic Stoner (ex Chords UK), they continue to serve up a high energy mix of those classic Eddie & The Hot Rods songs like Teenage Depression, Quit This Town, Life On The Line, Gloria *and the Top Ten UK hit *Do Anything You Wanna Do alongside newer songs taken from their last three studio albums including the 2023 Guardians of the Legacy, which produced a #1 Hit with Paradise and three other Top Five singles, New Frontier, A Million Miles and the album’s title track.

ABDOUJAPAROV
With Fruitbat from Carter USM Abdoujaparov back at Undercover after a cracking gig in 2024 Watching Abdoujaparov live is the closest I'll ever get to seeing Carter. Love them.” - Jim Bob
"Abdoujaparov are a band on the up. Such a powerful latest album, they go from strength to strength" Dan Booth (Ferocious Dog)
Formed by Les Carter (aka Fruitbat) in 1998 after the breakup of Carter USM, Abdoujaparov are named after Tour De France cyclist Djamolidine Abdoujaparov. Abdoujaparov's musical foundations are the joyous and shambolic influences of 1977 Punk Rock & New Wave, but there is so much more than that under the covers.
Eight EPs, four singles and six albums have been released on Spinach Records.
The band has toured worldwide, racking up over 600 gigs, from tiny clubs to big festivals.
