You have to be really good to get by in garage-rock'n'roll-soul these days, as there
is minimal airplay and little media interest in independent bands, but hey, yes, The
Dustaphonics [http://www.dirtywaterrecords.co.uk/dustaphonics ] are really good! They get
airplay on BBC Radio, have been album of the day on Spanish national radio RTVE Radio 3,
pack out London's famous rock'n'roll and soul music venues such as the 100 Club & Jazz
Cafe, storm European and festival stages such as Latitude Festival, have opened for Wanda
Jackson, James Hunter, Kid Congo, Jim Jones Revue, Barrence Whitfield, Lisa & The Lips,
Gallon Drunk, Sanseverino, Sam Gopal, have been "on a mission from God" with legendary
actor and Blues Brother Dan Aykroyd, who occasionally uses The Dustaphonics as the backing
band for his private London shows.

Yes, The Dustaphonics are that good; they have been shaking up the London scene with a
unique, excitingly energetic party groove sound that distills such wide-ranging influences
as 50s R&B, 60s garage rock, vintage soul, blues, surf & 77 punk rock. They are far from
simple imitators; they bring new energy and a positive vibe which makes their songs
remarkably fresh and distinctly modern. With a production sense that carefully preserves
the passionate rawness of the music, but combines it with a clean, solid, strong, deft and
transparent approach, they offer the best possible sound to both purist vintage music fans
and those who want something fresh with a young pretty face.



Since 2012 the previously fluid line-up has solidified around the Anglo-French nucleus
of talented, fun, young, charismatic, energetic force of nature singer Hayley Red and
founder-producer-guitarist Yvan Serrano-Fontova (a kind of rock'n'roll version of Jane
Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg), with tighter-than-tight rhythmic backing provided by
powerhouse musicians such as Eric Frajria or Bruce Brand on drums and Dan Whaley or Devid
Dell'Aiera on bass.



Yvan Serrano-Fontova is one of London's key underground figures; guitar-man, DJ, song
writer and entertainment promoter, has long been presenting exciting new talents & vintage
revue style shows around London and Lille (Fr) with his "Raison D'etre London Music
Collective" [http://www.reason2b.net ] and as DJ Healer Selecta was signed by Freestyle
Records in England. He has DJed for London shows by Bo Diddley, The Sonics, Chuck Berry,
Ike Turner, Eartha Kitt, Wanda Jackson, Dick Dale, Manu Chao, etc.). Yvan first came from
his native France to London in the early 90s, when the legendary John Peel was playing the
US & UK single on BBC Radio 1 by Yvan's Guitar Surf Garage Orchestra "Showman & The
Thunderous Staccatos". In the late 90s he collaborated with Liam Watson (Toe Rag Studio's
legendary genius) and in 2008 started his new project; The Dustaphonics, when the cult B
movie actress Tura Satana (Russ Mayer's Faster Pussycat Kill Kill) asked Yvan's to create
the sound track for her new project (she also co-wrote with him the Dustaphonics song
"Burlesque Queen"). This led to the 2009 mini LP and single "Burlesque Queen" and the
first full album "Party Girl" in 2011 and now "Big Smoke London Town", with its fantastic
sound and attitude in which nostalgic Americana clashes head-on with a heady London
attitude to create one of this year's most energetic and vital releases.
