Billy Whizz are pleased to announce a mini-tour of Bristol this December!
We are on a constant mission to create the smallest tour possible so this one with two dates is a belter!
On Friday 11th December, we are playing at The Cooler, Park St. with Journey Up The Woods and Know Buses. It's a Pet Sounds night so kick-off at 8pm with djs after the bands until 2am.(£5)
On Saturday 12th December, we shall drag our sorry hungover arses to The Lanes, 22 Nelson St. for The Lanes Christmas festival. Kick-off 4pm with late license to 3am! 10 bands - Billy Whizz, Cue Fanfare, Scarlet Rascal & The Trainwreck, Lego Castles, Tin Pan Gang, Robot Disaster, Gorl Keepers, Smith & The Lasting Days, Jake Cleverly, Heartbreaker and djs to follow. (£4) Band stage times unclear at this moment - good excuse to settle in for a nice long session! The Lanes offers good food and 5 bowling alleys should you need more stimulation.
We are aware that 2 gigs in 2 days is breaking every Billy Whizz rule so we shall be giving ourselves a prolonged rest until the new year.

The Retreat, Ledbury is preparing for Thursday's return of The Whizzers!
Previous packed nights with people who know how to drink (quite rare at gigs these days), means the doors are opening for Billy Whizz again.
Support on Thursday comes from local punkers Crimson Playdo Gang and Birmingham's finest pop-purveyors Offal Club.
Come down on Thursday and support live music in Ledbury. It's going to be a cracking night and it's free!!

After what seems like an eternity stuck in the rehearsal studio writing new stuff & recording, the Whizzers are back on the road! The Retreat in Ledbury is the atmospheric setting for the first night of this monumental tour (2 nights does just about qualify for a tour). With support from Birmingham's finest pop celebrity and part-time chaffinch The Offal Club, you WILL be left feeling like a natural woman. If you're asking for more, and really you shouldn't, Lancashire is sending down it's finest purveyors of pop and roll The Film Extras!! It's the first time they've graced the Ledbury streets since The Plough shut! There'll be enough talent on that stage to launch a rocket. It all kicks off at 8pm Thursday 9th of April and pinch yourself, it's free!!
Part two of the treacherous trek sees us return to our spiritual Bristol home, The Louisiana for a Saturday night headline extravaganza with Call The Doctor & 1 more band tbc as support. The last time we played there, the place was literally rocking! You had to see it to believe it, so get your arses down there for Saturday 18th of April £4.

RETURN OF THE THING
After a bit of a break Billy Whizz are back with a new line-up.   Andrew has left as he's living too far away (Manchester), but will still be doing the band artwork, and hopefully be involved in future happenings.   Tim has left (he's far too punk!) and new drummer Kev Jarvis has settled in quickly and plays on the new single:                         NEW SINGLE!!!     
 "Shellsuit Mothers/Sasquatch"  The new songs will soon be available as a free download prior to official release.

CURRENT MOOD : HESI                                TANT

 

We are having a bit of a break thru december and new year - Foxy is moving house and the rest of us are taking it easy.

It's just as well we haven't got anything booked for this month as I've drilled a hole in my finger and can't play the guitar at the moment - even to my usual low standard.

Andrew is currently busy penning the billy whizz christmas message which will be posted over the festive period - enthusiasm permitting
