Scott Freeman and the Tokyo Sex Whales are an indie rock originals band from Shepperton in the vein of early Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand and The Strokes.
The single 'Let's Go' from their third studio album 'From Staines. With Love' was played on the BBC in 2018 in concurrence with their headline UK tour to promote the single. With a focus on writing catchy tunes with a quirky indie feel, the band have been entertaining audiences across the UK for the last ten years.
Smalltime Kid
Small Time Kid is a new London (UK) Americana band whose members also perform regularly at Shepherds Bush Empire, The Roundhouse & the 02 in their “day job” as backing musicians, alongside artists including Jill Andrews, Sir Rod Stewart, Georgia van Etten, Logan Brill and Megan O'Neill.
Their songwriting however - notably featured in ABC TV’s worldwide hit series Nashville - isn't simply informed by the usual stage school / session player career path.
Singer/guitarist/songwriter Dan Clark “variously scraped a living as a warehouse boy, building crew lackey and Beyonce’s roadie (long story)” before finally making it as a full time musician, meeting Alex Bramwell (bass), Oscar Reynolds (drums) & Sean Keating (keys) on a nightclub gig.
Experience working with Grammy winning producers like Guy Fletcher (Mark Knopfler, Sam Fender, Roxy Music, Dire Straits), Philip Magee (Kodaline, The Script, Gavin James, Miles Kane), Jerry Boys (Ry Cooder, John Lee Hooker, Pink Floyd, REM) & Mark Collins (The Charlatans) proved invaluable in self-producing their first 2 singles, which have racked up over 40k Spotify plays in 2024.
