DAVE RAVE
A rock legend who combines the best of
Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe with
the pop power of The Flamin' Groovies!
From New York to Liverpool to Paris and Hamburg; don't miss this
authentic rock'n'roll wildman.
Dave's new lp, "Live With What You Know", was shortlisted for
Best Rock Album at the 2011 Grammy Awards.
Stay tuned for his Italian tour dates in July - including
the Festival Beat festival with The Undertones and Guitar Wolf!
"...over the years we have witnessed his musical vocabulary
growing and expanding beyond all recognition and
in his own small way he has carved out his own place in musical history."
- Dave Cowling, Americana.UK
"Much of his rep rests on his spells with hugely successful garage
rockers Teenage Head and his own power pop alchemists The Shakers,
but his CV is truly staggering. His solo catalogue includes fantastic
albums like 'Everyday Magic' and the 'lost' album 'Valentino's
Pirates' which was originally released on vinyl by the Russian (!)
label Melodiya before ending up out of print (and growing in
legendary status by the day) for a decade.
Running parallel to these releases has been Rave's career as a much
in-demand session musician with his credits including work with the
likes of Daniel Lanois, Andrew Loog Oldham, Steve Wynn and Alex
Chilton. ... as with all Rave releases - it rewards your input with
some of the most glorious melodies you'll hear all year. It's yet
another essential Dave Rave album and one you'll enjoy living with
for years to come."

PLASTIC HEROES (uk rock and roll)
Pure pop energy! Their debut album (Escape The Lower End)
was selected for first round nominations for the
2009 Grammy Awards, Best Rock Album.
The Plastic Heroes are part of the new British pop underground;
infectious melodies that swagger atop uncompromising loud guitars.
Their new single is: "Fake Revolution" from their forthcoming album, due
later this year
"Something inherently, unashamedly superb about 'Escape The Lower End'.
Hooks aren't just drenched, they're submerged; guitars don't ring, they clang;
and punk/pop attitude doesn't just exude, it oozes"
- Tony Clayton-Lea - The Irish Times

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"In these days of shrink wrapped units, the truly original artist
is increasingly becoming an endangered species.
Music fans must fight to preserve labels like Bongo Beat,
if only to ensure that original artists have a home."
- Michael Mee, NetRhythms.co.uk
