THE HAMSTERS
The Hamsters have been voted one of the UK's
best unsigned bands by Kerrang magazine. Even
BBC's Top Gear magazine recognises the band
as the UK's hardest working, and featured them
in an article on in-car entertainment, the Hamsters
being the ideal people to ask as they're always
travelling somewhere.
Although
primarily performing their own brand of material,
they are widely regarded as leading interpreters
of the music of Jimi Hendrix and more recently
ZZ Top. Originally forming for their own amusement
(and taking their name from the Sex Pistols,
who once used it as a pseudonym to outwit hostile
councils), the Hamsters enjoy the irony of being
an aggressive band with a cuddly name. Although
serious about what they do, they don't take
themselves too seriously.
Members have performed with artists such as
Eric Clapton, Alison Moyet, Doctor Feelgood,
Walter Trout and the late, great gentleman of
British Blues, Alexis Korner.
