SOULSCRAPER
Soulscraper from Ludwigshafen (Germany) have been around since 2020. Stylistically they follow in the huge footsteps of bands such as Mega City Four, Leatherface, Doctor Bison and Samiam, playing emotional, edgy and highly melodic punk rock.
The 100% DIY band has released two albums since its formation. Ever since singer, guitarist and composer wolle Rhein became pen pals with Wiz, singer, guitarist and composer of Mega City Four, Serpico and Ipanema, it has always been his dream to perform together once. This was eventually planned, but it never happened. Wiz died in 2006 at the age of just 44. Many years later, in the middle of the pandemic, contact happened between the newly formed band soulscraper and the very active Mega City Four fanpage on Facebook.
After a number of online live shows 2020-2023, organized and performed by highly engaged members & musicians in the Facebook group, a live concert at the legendary Farnborough Football Club will actually take place next January – on Wiz’s birthday!
MEGA FISHY FOUR
Mega Fishy Four is the world’s best Mega City Four tribute band – as simple as it is. Originated from the proud purveyors of jingly, jangly Fraggle rock BIG FISH Little FISH, who have been around since 1991, Mega Fishy Four and/or the band members have delivered a couple of incredibly fantastic live and streaming shows.
The two-and three-part vocals, the uptempo drums, the rolling bass and the wonderfully emo distorted guitars give you a feeling like… all you have to do is close your eyes, shout along to the lyrics and you’ll be back in the 90s.
WOB
Wob Williams is a real Farnborough singer/songwriter institution and has been around since 1990, first in agit-folk-rockers Blyth Power, later concentrating on his own music. Since the mid-1990s, this “astonishingly bouncy talent machine”, was spotted at venues all over England, with his acoustic guitar and harmonica, gaining ecstatic audience reactions from crowds that were actually more used to punk rock than acoustic music.
Later, his incredible songwriting, singing, and playing skills guided his path to festivals, rock venues, folk clubs and a host of weird and wonderful places in Europe, Australia and the US. During the pandemic, Wob regularly performed live and online for people all across the globe on almost every Friday night, contributing effectively to lifting them out of the gloom of the doomed situation and culminating his motivational music with the release of “Hope Keeps Us Singing”.
On this upcoming memorable evening of January 18, 2025, he will be the most prolific of the three acts with 11 albums released to date.
