First Requiem, Metal Fatigue, Ophelia, XLR, Badland Bandits, Rusty Angels, The Rising, Fat Tuesday, Black Cat Bone, Facemelter, Six Shooter, Full Mettal Rackett

Below you will find info about each band.

FULL METTLE RACKETT - FMR are a good time classic rock outfit from Plymouth. Dave the lead singer has been in other bands including Faith Healer and more recently Slack Sabbath. The band has been together for 3 years and they are mad about classic rock! Lead guitarist Steve Tapper is the 'baby' of the group but an exceptional lead guitarist with a passion for all things rock and metal; the rhythm section is made up of Paul Devine and Gary Johnson hailing from various other local bands and musican mash ups. Together Full Mettle Rackett make muisc in eclectic form combining hard classic hits of AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple to more up to date 'toons' such as Iron Maiden, Metallica with plenty in between. The feel good factor of the band is there to be seen with on stage antics only to be witnessed first hand - a very worthy headline for the Saturday all day/night event!

CROSSFIRE - Crossfire are an exceptional rock covers band always receiving a enthusiastic response form the audience with their attention to detail on tracks by the Stones, Van Morrison, Tom Petty, ZZ Top, Black Sabbbeth and Deep Purple to name a few but expect a few chart tracks and crowd pleasers to be thrown into the ring!

BLUE ON BLACK – Formed in June 2001 this 3 piece have steadily developed their own ‘signiture band’ of guitar driver weapons grade blues/rock. Having already played alongside legends of rock and blues including Joe Banamassa, Deep Purple, Walter Trout and Peter Frampton, the Band (Keith Howe – Guitar and vocals, Paul Arnott – cass and vocals and Andy McDonalds – percussion and vocals) have built a reputation for delivering a power house night of rocking blues. Having already released three albums showcasing their music the band is currently promoting their latest studio CD entitled Sucking Out Vemon endorsed by Deep Purple’s Ian Gillan and ocne again showcasing their signature guitar driver rock/blues

BLACK CAT BONE - Originally formed in late September 2010 as "A Bad Day In Court", by guitarist/singer Paul White in collaboration with young local singer/songwriterEdd Lane who shared Paul's desire to crank up the volume and rock the blues. Edd's dad, Dave, was installed behind the drum kit and the hunt began for a bass player to complete the line up. Eventually, Plymouth based bassist Age Lundstrom was tracked down, auditioned and press-ganged into playing the band's first gig five days later. This line-up continued into December, rocking up material by the likes of Jonny Lang, Joe Bonamasa, Cream and Gary Moore (to name but a few influences), until Edd decided to quit the band to concentrate more on his acoustic work. During this period the remaining members tried to recruit a fourth musician to complete the outfit without success. Dave left the band at about this time, due in part to the frustrations of the search, leaving Paul and Age to ponder the future. As the early performances had been so successful and displayed great potential, it was decided to continue the project and try to find a new drummer and second guitarist/harmonica/keyboard player. Luckily, they happened across Exeter based drummer Fran Edwards, who was quite excited by the direction the remaining band members wanted to take. A couple of practise sessions later and it became obvious that Fran's rock solid drumming style would enable the and to develop the "power trio" sound, without the need for anotherguitar. In this format, material by the likes of ZZ-Top, Dr Feelgood, Rory Gallgher and Jimi Hendrix has been added to the set giving it a much more blues/rock feel. It was then felt that a change of name would be in order and "Black Cat Bone" came into being

FACEMELTER - High energy theatrically fronted classic rock and early metal covers band aimed predominately at the real and true discerning fan of this genre. They perform their songs with passion, presence and the spirit they deserve. Facemelter comes complete with its own twin guitar outfit and versatile high tenor front man. These essential aspects ensure the classics are playing in the way they should be heard. Entertaining a crowd is something FACEMELTER love to do so you never get half measures when it comes to performances. The reason they do not do half-hearted gigs is because it is FACEMELTER’S ethos to present a show!

FAT TUESDAY – One of the most talented alumni of Singlapore’s sixties R&B scene, guitarist Jimmy Appudurai-Chua now resides in Torpoint but often gets wooed back to Singlepore for blues festivals or reunions with his old band The Straydogs, arguably the first ‘serious’ Singaporean blues band. Much of that seriousness came straight from Jimmy, who derailed the band from any hippie/psychedelic inclinations and stubbornly pushed for more twelve-bars. Many incarnations followed in and around Hong Kong where he was coaxed into picking up guitar again with none other than Chris Vadham, a fellow veteran of the 60’s rock scene which quickly followed rewarding encounters with Alexis Korner John Mayall and Stevie Winwood. It is a great honour to have Jummy launching his new band Fat Tuesday at Tavisrock 2011.

THE RISING - One of Plymouth’s most credible and ‘rising’ young bands playing their own material which goes down a storthanks to the impressive vocal range of singer Ryan Jenkins. Their 3^rd recently released EP ‘Step One’ features new songs ‘Jayded’, ‘Soul Destroyer’, ‘Drifting Away’ and ‘Don’t Let Me’ has received rave reviews. This is a band not to miss.

XLR - A 5 piece Plymouth based rock covers band, who enjoy playing both classic rock from the last 30 years and many tracks from the more recent guitar based bands. Formed in Xmas 2006, from the ashes of various past bands such as Jovio, De-v-8, Limited Edition, Flying Blind and Fallout. Their material covers "rock of all ages" drifting between the decades when bands such as Queen, Guns and Roses, U2, Greenday, Brian Adams and Nirvana were artist's whose music was part of our everyday listening. Now also enjoying rock tracks being written and performed by likes of Snow Patrol, Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters and the Frutelli's.

RUSTY ANGELS - A highly energetic and experienced 4 piece band, actively gigging on a regular basis around the Plymouth area. Playing everything from Elvis to Metallica, from The Doors to System of a Down, and from Kings of Leon to Rage Against The Machine, there's literally something for everyone to enjoy when The Rustys take to the stage.

FIRST REQUIEM - Recent well deserved Battle of the Band winnders they have journeyed a long way since forming in 2006 and have evolved into one of the most energetic and effervescent metal bands yet to be discovered. Taking their influences from the likes of Metallica, Trivium and Pantera, the band deliver an energy packed, high octane show driven by blistering riffs and powerhouse drumming. There is nothing subtle about this Devon based four piece! Expect in your face metal mayhem as FIRST REQUIEM combine original material with cult metal classics resulting in an e.xplosion of sound. With a new EP available for purchase and download from November 2011 FIRST REQUIEM are ready to take to the road and take on the world!

SIX SHOOTER - ‘You know that feeling you have when you leave a brilliant gig, you are full of adrenaline and think that’s the best night you’ve had in a long time, well, that’s what I want people to feel when they’ve been to see us’, says drummer Dave ‘Shammy’ Samuels of Plymouth based Six Shooter. Formed in 2009 the band recently made it into the area finals of the UK band competition Live and Unsigned and the band has ambition. They have said ‘we basically want to end up playing stadiums, we’re heading full tilt to the top!’

BADLAND BANDITS - Some bands keep it short and sweet describing themselves simply as ‘energy filled heavy drinking and hard rocking!’

DEVILRIDER: Rockabilly meets Classic Rock in a Face Painted Frenzy! High Energy covers such as Jimi Hendrix, Tears for Fears, AC/DC, Depeche Mode, The Stray Cats all mixed into a heavy Rockabilly pot and there you have it. No shoegazing allowed!!!!

METAL FATIQUE - Tony the Drummer and Brian, vocal (Bruce) first formed a band in 1975 mainly doing punk covers called Hot Foot who was a resident band at Woods inPlymouth for several years and acted as a supported band on many occasions to some punk icons. The band soon progressed and moved to rock by 1979 when Tony Chiswell joined on lead /Rhythm guitar. The band with current members Bruce and the two Tones rebranded as ‘Underground’ and Played the Plymouth circuit for many years along with Canyon, Quarry, Badger to name just a few. Phil Holman joined in 1989 when we again renamed as Saigon, Bruce stepped down for a period of 15 years as a permanent vocalist but carried out frequent guest appearances until Neil our then vocalist emigrated to Canada in the late 90’s. After Phil and the two Tones formed a few interim bands Bruce came back as a permanent member. Our roadie Rick Cornell (Bass) joined us at the same time to form Metal Fatigue. The band has existed for 10 years in the current line up and plays rock covers from the 70’s to present. As for the name? Ask any old rockers how they feel after a gig!

DJ Davy is well known in Plymouth for his lively, fun and personable style. He has been on the Plymouth Night Club scene since

In early 1978 Davy moved to Yorkshire with Top Rank and worked at Sadies, Bradford – Belinda’s Leeds – Fiesta, Sheffield – Top Rank Suite, Sheffield and more.1977 after he landed the resident DJ job at the Top Rank Suite on Union Street – you remember the Majestic, Oceans, Monroe’s etc etc?

On returning to Plymouth he was offered the prime resident DJ position at the Fiesta Suite on Mayflower Street where he stayed for four very happy years – Davy matured as a DJ and could work with bands like u2, The Jam, Heatwave and more. That coupled with two Disco Party nights and two over 30s nights capped off with four hours of ballroom dancing gave him a wide repertoire of DJ styles.

One of Davy’s magic moments was working with the Specials and his soon to be heroes – Madness with whom he shared a few cases of fine bottled lager.

In 1975 Davy had the pleasure of getting “wrecked” with the almighty KC and the Sunshine Band in Gatsby’s Hotel, Torquay.

Among Davy’s many magical moments were being hammered at Space Invaders by Lemmy of Motorhead at the Plymouth Fiesta and playing tambourine with George McRae – along with (not) being involved in the missing Roger de’ Courcey Nookie Bear incident ; cough splutter), falling off a stage in San Francisco and many other tales

Davy has just returned from California where he ran his own mobile wedding DJ service “doing all the posh weddings” around San Francisco for 15 years.

Classy events and night clubs are his speciality these days and do expect to see Davy at Devon’s most classy Castle’s, Stately Home’s, best night clubs, bars and nice Hotels

Davy is happy to be back in Plymouth and lives happily with his American wife Motown Liz – from Detroit – Motown!

Davy is also the official Plymouth Town Crier and a Member of the Association of Barbican Businesses. DJ Davy also runs his own website design service here in Plymouth
