I saw the hampsters two years ago at the "Silloth beer and music festival" on the Cumbrian coast. They are fantastic. If you've never been to Silloth, go in September. Step back in time!
I was on work experience at Workshop Studios in Redditch around '92(?) when the Hamsters were polishing off a 'live' album. Great bunch of guys and it sounds as good now as it did back then! :)
Just watch the Hamsters last night At Mainsforth, Co Durham I've lost count of the amount of times I have and as much as I like their Hendrix sets I actually Prefer to listen to their original stuff. Their Open all hours album is fantastic and if anybody thinks they are a cheap covers band they have completely missed the point there is so much more to this band, that's why the likes of Albert Collins and Walter Trout have had them as a support Band.
Nice one Slim! I've been to see these guys many times since 1992 - keep on going and keep up the good work. Slim inspired my guitar style (Slight Return).
amazin band!!! have all albums and dvds so far, cost me a bomb mind but amazin... has any1 got the guitar tab 2 this song??? i rele want 2 learn their version!!!
saw them at isle of man 90 and a few times in bristol, dint know they were still going, looks a bit older but ace sound would love to see them again if they ever go back to bristol
This is wonderful. I remember The Hamsters from the old biker pub, The Castle, in Ashford, Kent, years ago. Great days. Anybody else remember? (Pamela).
"Without hendrix the hamsters would be nothing" well Hendrix isnt here anymore is he cause he shoved so much fucking shit into his system it killed him. This is the closest we'l get to him and the Hamsters do a fucking great job at replicating his music rock on guys you rocked at Leicester!
Hendrix kicked ass all the time his hyperness and hair made him what he was. This video doesn't show the hamsters off that well if you go got and see them live you would see he is an awesome guitarist!! and that he is the closest to hendrix you are ever going to get he is also really funny between songs!!
do yourself a favor my friend, go and find every last one of your 'real' jimi hendrix recordings, whack em on ebay and wait three days . . . got me so far?? now, with the fifteen or so pounds you find in your bank account a few days later, buy yourself a ticket to the next 'hamsters' gig in your area !! at least then you'll have something interesting to waste your breath over ay?!?!
Hey Man!! Cool stuff for sure!!! Good one!! Joey Vaughan "World Blues Attack"

@lennydixie - Yea man Its the hamsters not Hendrix and thats his own guitar sound. And there will never be a band that can do what Hendrix did.
