The CAEZARS

IF you like your rock’n’roll mad, bad and dangerous to know, you’ll be no doubt already slapping a bucket of pomade into your quiff for the visit of The Caezars to Weymouth later this month.

The rockabilly foursome, who appear to have inherited the unusual genetic make-up of Gene Vincent, The Hives, Dr Feelgood and The Cramps, will be at the Queen’s to help celebrate the King Street music venue’s first birthday on Saturday, October 29.

Having toured this summer with music press dahlings The Vaccines and supported Imelda May, big things are expected of The Caezars next year. And with their raw sound, an attitude stroppier than Carlos Tevez on a bad day and authentic 50s gear, who’d try to stop them?

If these London-based fairground bruisers don’t feature on the soundtrack of the next Tarantino movie, I’ll eat my pork pie hat.

Those of you with this new-fangled internet thing, go to dorsetecho.co.uk/leisure/ music and hear The Caezars’ take on Plan B’s She Said. Go on, off you go now. Okay, come back. - Dorset Echo

"By day I study history at London Met" says AJ Denning, the frontman who gets the shave for rockabilly rejuvenators The CAEZARS. "Modern History - 1789 onwards." That's modern enough. A London/ Portsmouth/ Brighton/ Cornwall four-piece, half yet to exit their teens, they formed in 2009 after meeting on the Fifties Scene. Firey live shows have been compared to Jim Jones Revue meeting Johnny Burnette and the Rock'n'Roll Trio, making fans of Boz Boorer, Bob Harris and tour-mates The Vaccines. In 2010 'Shakedown' came out in the US but White Stripes fan AJ says material produced by Imelda May's spouse Darrel Higham will better bottle their live lightning. "It seems like fidelty's taken over from feeling and spirit," he muses. "A great fifties track can make you scream and cry. To me, modern music's never come close to that rawness." - Ian Harrison - MOJO Magazine
