What happens when two bass playing Oxford blokes decide they want to experiment? With different instruments, that is. They recruit another bass player, naturally, and a singer-songwriter.

Fierce, filthy, female-fronted, pop-metal noise ensues.

We are Mamzer:

Al Kenny: Guitarist, rock school maestro, exotic fish keeper, and Hawkwind's all-time #1 fan.

Christina Kowalchuk: Strong and sexy American vocalist and voice actor who loves Fiona Apple and Erykah Badu, and whose tattoos are all of flying things. 

Caroline Lomas: Quietly quirky, laid-back bass goddess with a soft-spot for the Smashing Pumpkins.

Will Gibson: Just wants to play drums.

"Mamzer is Yiddish slang for bastard and was formed by two local bass players who wanted to try out different instruments,
so recruited a new bass player as well as an American voice-over actress. 
So far, so excellent. It smells of booze and fags and leather and lace and
everything, from guitars to vocals seem to have been funnelled through a cheap and nasty distortion pedal for good measure. Elsewhere there’s
churning rockaboogie, hair-metal drama and plenty of messy melody." -Nightshift Magazine
