Rock'N'Roll Sensations The Baseballs Reveal October Tour Dates & Tickets

Three certified, out-and-out rock'n'roll singers complete with rockabilly forelocks happened to meet in a tea room in a typical heavy metal rehearsal bunker in Berlin. They recognise each other based on their common hairstyle, start jamming and form a band whose debut album lands in shops across the country a little later. Sounds far-fetched? But it's true. Now after some blistering festival appearances they have announced their own headline UK Tour in the autumn. By mistake, Sam wanted to audition for a cover band and made his way from southern Germany to Berlin. Digger lived in Cologne, but was visiting his big sister and helping out in his brother-in-law's band. And Basti lived in Berlin anyway. It must have been Fate. This was a new evolution of the musical heritage of Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly & Co.: "Voc'n'Roll" was born and The Baseballs at the same time.

Iconic Dance DJ Chicane Announce London HMV Forum Gig & Tickets

90's dance music icons Chicane, aka DJ Nick Bracegirdle, will retun to the capital later this year having revealed a headline show at London's HMV Forum on November 5th to support the new album 'Giants', which is out this week. It's been some fourteen years (if you include Disco Citizens tracks) since Bracegirdle arrived as the 'God of the Ibiza anthem'. Some records are of their time and stay there, some somehow form a bedrock in musical consciousness, 'Offshore' certainly has done that: millions would have heard the track and most likely not know who it was by; as with other Chicane tracks, their usage as incidental tunes on TV around the world is phenomenal: 'No Ordinary Morning' as the theme tune to a soup opera in the Philippines!
