Bio
In 1736 London‘s community of ranting soaks broke down the gates of Gordon's Gin Factory and drank the place dry. Apparently the streets of London were literally flowing with gin for three days straight. Imagine that! Named after the longest and hardest drinking session in living memory, The Gin Riots are a disparate bunch of boys who came together to make music to get drunk to ...
Formed at university in Bristol by Irishman Cillian Logue and Londoner Guy Stevenson, the band started out as an acoustic folk act. Think Bert Jansch going at it with Shane McGowan... Following their true calling towards a punkier style, the two upped sticks to London, advertised for musicians in various lonely hearts columns, and stumbled across a couple of gems – Ozzie mod fanatic Tim Burton and gifted northern drummer Jack McGruer.
Together now for just under a year, The Gin Riots have gigged hard on the London scene, from the backrooms of dingy dives to packed clubnights in the city centre. The band have a strong local support base, enhanced no end by the infamous Gin Palace Parties they host across South London. With their debut single planned for release along with a very special video to accompany it, expect a gin-soaked riot this summer.
