Dirty Water Records Presents: OH! GUNQUIT - Eat Yuppies and Dance

LONDON, March 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --



"Where the Squares don't fit, you'll find OH! GUNQUIT"



Oh! Gunquit [http://www.dirtywaterrecords.co.uk/ohgunquit ] is a London-based
'rumble-bop trash blitz freak-a-billy' five-piece that formed in 2011 after neighbours
Tina Swasey and Simon Wild met each other while frequenting a North London vinyl-only
sweaty cellar club DJ night. After an energetic pogo competition they decided to create a
group blending their love of wild garage punk, exotica, raw rhythm'n'blues and surf-trash
that's been described as a cross between The Cramps and The B-52's. The band name derives
from a twist on a Native American-named outpost on the east coast of the US, a former
artists' colony, and where a chief elder once 'cast all guns to the sea'.

Altsounds.com says, "They are a sight to behold with bags of personality and an
endearing amount of humour. Their music and performances appear effortless, with lyrics
that are macabre and kitsch and a live performance that is better than any art-punks out
there at the moment. This is retro-tinged pop at its killer best. You know that this is a
band that, in years to come, people will be arguing over which cramped Camden basement
they saw them in first."



They have played shows, festivals and events in London and Europe alongside acts such
as Black Lips producer King Khan and the Shrines, Fat White Family, Public Service
Broadcasting, Andrew Weatherall, Keb Darge, the Director of Danny Boyle's Shuffle Film
Festivals, and survived a crazed impromptu stage invasion by eccentric '80s pop-punk
prince Adam Ant. The group have also played two separate live sessions on London's only
Independent Art-Radio station, Resonance FM, and singles have had frequent airing on BBC
Radio 6 (Steve Lamacq, Gideon Coe, Lauren Laverne) Huey Morgan's BBC Radio 2 show and XFM
Exposure with John Kennedy.



To date, they have put out two limited edition self-released seven inch vinyl singles
distributed through Rough Trade, the second being single of the week in Artrocker
magazine, and also have a track featured on a Japanese compilation of garage rock'n'roll
with the all-girl 'Woo Hoo' hit-makers The 5,6,7,8s. Last December saw the release of a
brand new single 'Sinkhole' [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX8jwIw3vqc ] backed with the
instrumental 'Stampede' [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwRrgUnVg8w ] via new One Little
Indian imprint Winwin Records.



Oh! Gunquit have recently finished recording tracks at the all-analogue Gizzard Studio
in East London's Fish Island, resulting in the fiery, exotic sound on their upcoming album
Eat Yuppies And Dance, released in March 2015 by renowned garage-punk rock'n'roll label
Dirty Water Records [http://www.dirtywaterrecords.co.uk ]. Also planned is some further
recording with celebrated Detroit record producer Jim Diamond (White Stripes, Detroit
Cobras).



Live on stage, Oh! Gunquit bring their unique blizzard of horns, spirited howls,
buzzsaw guitars, hula hoops and fun, riotous rock'n'roll abandon and urge you to join them
on a crazy road trip of B-movies, freak shows, twisted carnivals, and adventuring.
