Ukulele Kris

Ukulele Kris is an acoustic punk/ska musician from the Northwest city of Preston. Kris has been in two bands previously, both of which were ska. Firstly "The Emotional Problems of Dirk Diggler", and then "Peter Simple", later renamed "The Strikeouts", after dropping from an 8 piece, to a 3 piece band. After a short unsuccessful stab at stand up comedy (not down to not being funny, more down to not being confident enough), Kris is now back to what he does best. Writing punky ska songs, but this time, just performing them on his own.

Golden Apes

The GOLDEN APES were founded in 1998 by Peer Lebrecht, Christian Lebrecht and Eric Bahrs.
After live-appearances together with Scream Silence and Whispers in the Shadow the Band released their dark wave/postpunk-like debut-album "Stigma 3.am" in 2000, which found regardful attention by the audience and the press.
In 2001 Drummer Nestor de Valley joined the Band and the result of the more stronger and the more intensive sound was the very dark and nihilistic album "Thalassemia". It followed concerts with Clan of Xymox, The Crüxshadows and Ikon.
