JoePatroni took a decade to come together. Finally formed in January 2008 by former B*Movie Heroes / Yo Yo's mainman Neil Phillips and [spunge] bass stalwart Chris Murphy. 10 years of friendship and threatening to work together became a reality after Neil's move home to Worcester from hedonistic Manchester coupled with Chris's return from Cheltenham within weeks of each other. The pair had seen .......and what will be left of them? drummer chris Wemyss playing for one of his many side projects, Girls on Film, 2 years previously and his name was the first to come up when discussing possibilities. Both knew that this next generation Bonham fit the bill perfectly. Combining straight ahead, no frills, down and dirty rock with a whole lot of heart and soul made the songs flow from hard and aggressive one moment to delicate and fragile the next.
They played their first gig about a month ago, and they were *awesome*. Chris is one of the best drummers I've ever seen!!
Free entry too. Go on, you know you want to!
