Kodiak Bears
Hailing from the icy island of Kodiak, Kodiak Bears dreamed of rock stardom in far-off away lands. They swam across the ocean and set up shop in London - the birthplace of punk.
The Bears love entertaining crowds with the finest classic punk & rock and roll tunes. Their music brims with energy, riffs, and furious firepower. Catch them at one of their sensational live shows for a night of unforgettable furry fun - and don't forget the salmon!

Grae J. Wall & Los Chicos Muertos
Ex Trailer Trash Orchestra front-man Grae J Wall also records and performs with the moveable musical feast dubbed Los Chicos Muertos.
These outings mix Americana and folk-blues with a particular penchant for murder ballads, caustic skiffle and bar room melancholy – with a big dose of fun. Grae J. regularly tours on the continent as well as being a stalwart of the UK Acoustica scene (previous band The Young Trash Lovers were the last ever act to perform at the legendary Bunjies Coffee House).
As an eternal troubadour Grae J's songs are also often inspired by his road trips, with narratives set in the motels of Bakersfield, the bar-rooms of Berlin and the back-streets of Paris. Grae and the band have performed at Glastonbury, Boomtown, Bestival and many more intimate festivals and venues across Europe.
Grae J and Los Chicos Muertos have shared the stage with inspirational characters including TV Smith, Patrik Fitzgerald, John Cooper Clarke and Jowe Head as well as backing Ed Tudorpole a few times on live renditions of Swords of a Thousand Men. Grae has also collaborated (along with the band) on the production of the acclaimed Knoxville Boy album with Knox (The Vibrators) . As well as Trashville releases Grae J has contributed tracks to a number of compilation albums including tributes to Kevin Coyne and a self produced tribute to Nikki Sudden.
Recent album Quinze Petites Morts received excellent reviews and airplay. The new album is due later this year!
