    Press Release

    blueminkmusicmanagement have added Dundee based 4 piece KILLER ANGELS to its roster.

    KILLER ANGELS are a hard edged rock band that take riffs, hooks and solos out of the

    Hendrix and Page school of guitar whilst they are driven by a juggernaut rhythm section

    and have a front man that has the passion of Liam Gallaghers voice and swagger of

    Bobby Gillespie. There are moments you can hear a pin drop, followed by explosions

    of music that tear your ears apart. The Music but harder edged, a band that are in the

    same genre as TCTC and Kasabian, the Led Zep of this generation? Who knows?

    KILLER ANGELS are just back from playing their 4th Death Disco gig in London for

    Alan McGee and have a Fierce Panda showcase gig lined up for the start of October.

    You can see KILLER ANGELS at the following gigs -

    SATURDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER @ THE LEMON TREE

    Dundee's KILLER ANGELS will play their first Lemon Tree show on

    Saturday replacing US rock band Rockets and Cars who had to pull

    out due to touring commitments.

    Fresh for playing at Alan McGee's Death Disco in London this will be

    the debut gig at The Lemon Tree for KILLER ANGELS. The band

    have already played 4 Death Disco's in London in thier short 18

    month existance. They were personally invited by Alan McGee after

    hearing an early demo and a mutaul friendship with the late Joe

    Strummer.

    KILLER ANGELS are a hard edged rock band that take riffs, hooks

    and solos out of the Hendrix and Page school of guitar whilst they are

    driven by a juggernaut rhythm section and have a front man that has

    the passion of Liam Gallaghers voice and swagger of Bobby Gillespie.

    There are moments you can hear a pin drop, followed by explosions

    of music that tear your ears apart. The Music but harder edged, a

    band that are in the same genre as TCTC and Kasabian, the Led Zep

    of this generation? Who knows?

    Local favourites Lady Mercedes unveil their all-new line up at this show

    and fully expect their raw edged, rock'n'roll sound to emerge stronger

    and louder than ever.

    Atrium's material, covers a range of moods and feelings all held together

    in well crafted, stunning songs, coupled with a brilliant live show make

    them the band to see in 2004. The band have just completed their debut

    EP which will be launched tonight.

    Fat Hippy Records indie rockers Star complete the bill and bring their

    high-octane set of songs which are fuelled with enormous energy. Their

    unique brand of Rock n Roll has to be seen to be believed!
