HOLY PISTOL CLUB are the most dynamic, enthusiastic and exciting band
to come out of Scotland and burst on to the music scene in years.
Formed in 2011 from the ashes of three bands the life-long friends
have now set about bringing  their own unique passionate, enigmatic
and sleazy twist on Rock n Roll.
During their short time together the power five piece band have played
to packed crowds throughout the UK and have received critical acclaim
from some of the biggest names in the music industry.
Now they find themselves with the world at their feet and with their
swagger, self-belief, catchy songs and an unstoppable desire to
entertain - the group are destined for big things.
In their previous forms the talented lads have dazzled thousands of
music-lovers at festivals including T in the Park, Rockness, Download,
Go North and Live at Loch Lomond.
More recently HPC have developed a strong cult following throughout
the Glasgow music scene and have enthralled audiences during their
performances in the 02 Academy and King Tut's and were even invited
down to London to play with Alan McGhee.
In 2012 the group played to their most captive audience to date when
they staged a sizzling cell-out gig in HMP Shotts - a maximum security
complex for serious adult male offenders.
With so much skill and passion it's just a matter of time before you
see the name Holy Pistol Club in lights...

Vardo and the Boss are unpredictable, unconventional and bursting with soul and energy. They blur the lines of musical genres with an eclectic mix of melodies and styles. From the energetic and dancey "Pockets", to the smooth and funky "That Kinda Love", each song has it's own distinct feel.

The rhythmic styles of the guitars are complimented by melodic electric piano, funky bass and driving drums, which make it impossible for the audience to stand still. Lauren Francis has a voice which can transform effortlessly from a sultry blues to a powerhouse of soul, and with the boys supporting her with three part harmonies, the music becomes richer and fuller still.

The band are a mismatched bunch of friends from Colchester, England, whose sound has been compared to bands like The Noisettes, Paloma Faith and Florence and the Machine.

Vardo's influences include (among many others) Florence and the Machine, Lianne La Havas, Led Zeppelin, Jamiroquai, Biffy Clyro, Incubus and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The sound that has resulted from such varying sources of inspiration is surprisingly distinct; catchy choruses, meaningful lyrics, cool grooves and a vibe which makes it unmistakably Vardo and the Boss.
