Hollywood Assassins @ The Prince Albert, 5th June

Rockabilly. Surf. Garage rock. All musical styles you should endeavour to make part of a Friday night. And I know a place you can find all three…

Supporting the intriguing Salter Cane, The Hollywood Assassins are here! And they’ll tease out your inner John Travolta (circa Pulp Fiction) and have you shimmying across the floor as if your shoes were made of butter. Lead singer Caroline is an Oirish girl with balls of Belfast steel and the voice to prove it. With a complex list of influences – Mazzy Star, Screaming Jay Hawkins and Eddie Cochrane – they’re gonna put the shock back in rock.

“Put on your dancing shoes and quiff up your hair, because it’s high time you came to see the Hollywood Assassins and look! Here’s your chance! For we shall be playing a Friday night slot at the esteemed Prince Albert in Brighton, supporting Salter Cane with the sort of rockabilly/trashy/surfy stuff we play. Which I think is barrels of fun, but that’s just me.

Come on – there’ll be a banjo and everything!

In years to come, folk will ask were you there and look stunned when you smugly smile and say ‘Yes’. Hardly any word of a lie.”
