Carmen Pimps

Artist Information

Biography

What do we sound like, you ask? “Like Led Zeppelin playing the Stone Temple Pilots house warming party whilst Jim Morrison regales in tales of Guns n Roses exuberant and indulgent past”.

I am proud to introduce to you an explosive U.K band that is finally prepared to pull “Mule Britannia” kicking and screaming in to the 21st century. . .
The ‘Pimps’ are a 4 piece rock band who have exploded on the rock scene with powerful vocals and guitar licks, percussions and bass that pull you right into their music and beyond. You will be transformed and give testament that, not only does this band rock, but “They’re Here!”
With gigs at The Metro and all round the London circuit and UK, the train has well and truly left the station. Punch your ticket now and take the ride of a lifetime. You’ll be glad you did.

Influences from the bands stated above have been absorbed whilst trying to sculpt and create something a little more vital, more powerful and refreshing to the current crop of “Blands” they see saturating the current rock scene, and there is nothing bland or blasé about the Carmen Pimps.
Already creating quite a stir in the London music scene, they are one of the very few British bands that have been taken to heart by the American public. Legendary Rock photographer Chad Lee has called them “The best pieces of Led Zeppelin and Guns N Roses.”

So kick back, and get ready, the trains coming in full steam. Fasten your seatbelts, and blast off!
