ChavTownBand ventured to Camden to play "The Best of Bad Luck"
PRESENTED BY LAYLA ANNA-LEE
Shifty Strangers evolved from ChavTownBand the child of many a drunken night and hazy afternoon spent in the woodlands of Laindon. They played their first gig in Southend on 11th Oct 2008 where they appeared on the same bill as Adam Ficek of Babyshambles fame. Later going on to play over 100 gigs that year.
Their sound has continued to develop along the way. From acoustic beginnings they eventually recruited a drummer and a bass player and "went electric" The result is an energetic fast paced live set that sounds like a drinking session involving Johnny Cash and Queens of the stone age. Although they still do unplug when the need takes them.
They have recorded a 6 track EP in their homes which has been met with very positive responses online and continues to be sought after at gigs. Their song Chav Town Blues has been played Regularly on Tom Robinsons BBC6 Show Introducing. They have also appeared on local Radio performing their music. (Phoenix Fm, Southend Radio, Safe Radio) and have also enjoyed a good summer in 2009 playing local festivals. (Brownstock, Blackshot Fields, Thingamagig)
They are currently recording their first studio produced EP Under Thier new name "Shifty Strangers" set for release in the Summer 2010 and will be continuing their relentless tour schedule at home as well as venturing out to Europe with a tour of Germany planned for June.
