Heyzeus is 4 piece alternative Rock group from the UK. With nostalgic flavours of Nirvana, Oasis and Gomez, the listener is spat forwards and backwards through musical history to modern day.

The band first formed when drummer Jessica-Louise, saw Frontman Jamie Andrew on an ITV1 Saturday night tv show. Jess took to the internet to hunt Jamie down, and travelled from the edge of Scotland to come and meet Jamie in his hometown of Tunbridge Wells, Kent. The 2 instantly hit it off, with Jessica becoming Jamie's biggest fan, following and supporting him on his nomadic busking adventures around the globe.

After a successful trip to Los Angeles, and scoring some credible gigs at the famous Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, Jess teamed up musically with Jamie, to form a duo, performing as an acoustic 2 piece, with a guitar/cajon setup.

From there, the pair recorded their first live and unplugged album, before touring it across the streets of Europe. One night of inspiration in Milan, brought the idea that Jess should learn the drums, which allowed the swift transition into an electric fuelled band.

After a year of drum learning, and song crafting, Jamie & Jess recruited Bassist Danny Green, and Guitarist Andrew Wright, to form the rocking 4 piece they are today.

Singer Jamie Andrew has busked all over the world, performing his songs on some of the worlds most famous streets. 'The Great Big Busk', an epic 2 year busking trip around the world, took Jamie through the streets of Europe, Australia & New Zealand. Jamie Hitch-hiked, couchsurfed and busked his way around the clock with ex girlfriend Molly, writing many hit songs and perfecting his craft along the way.

It is unanimous to say, Heyzeus has to be heard LIVE. With their captivating energy and blissful melodies, heavy rock drumming, and grungy guitar riffs; this is a band that's been waiting to happen for a very, very long time....

Jelly Fish

Welcome to the inner workings of some unusual people. Black Gabanza is a 5 piece band hailing from various parts of the South East and Kent. With a heady mix of the dark, imaginative and twisted; A penchant for whipping up swampy, driving riffs, sublime melodies and sliding so deep in-the-pocket that they could be gasping for air, drowning in their own loose change, wrinkled receipts and lonely fuzzy ‘mint with the hole’. Black Gabanza are inspired and influenced by bands/artists such as Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Grinderman, Queens Of The Stone Age, Rival Sons and Tom Waits amongst others and are chomping at the bit to show the world the songs that they’ve been crafting in a cabin hidden in the depths of the Kent countryside
