What we think:"The Virginmarys are meaty stuff; raw, intoxicating rock and roll in the finest traditions of the genre. Unmistakably transatlantic in their influences, there’s little wonder they went down well on Sunset Boulevard – if they can deliver an album as energetic and free-wheeling as their demos suggest, they might well find the rest of America wants a piece of them too." Chris LongWho is in the band?"There’s Ally Dickaty on guitar and vocals, Danny Dolan on drums and gong, and Chris Birdsall on bass and vocals." What type of music do you play?"The Virginmarys mix blues and psychedelia with heavy rock'n'roll, creating a dark and powerful sound that resonates influence from the late 60's and 70's." How are things going?"The three piece band - often compared to the likes of Led Zepplin, Hawkwind and Pink Floyd - have experienced three months in Los Angeles, recording and performing at top venues such as the Key Club on Sunset Boulevard, as well as extensive gigs in the U.K. "Renowned for their explosive live performances, The Virginmarys continue to capture audiences wherever they play. "Most recently, the band have shot a video for their forthcoming single with the actor Stephen Graham, star of This is England, Snatch and Gangs of New York, and have completed the recording of their debut album 'Self Medication'."
