The Kairos

‘Scuzzed up, fuzzed up, Scouse Rock ‘n’ Roll’ - Gigslutz

The Liverpool lads are looking to steal summer 2022 with their new release ‘Lazy Lethargic’ a track almost built for packed tents and festival stages with canons of cider flying overhead. High octane verses are juxtaposed with a soaring chorus that just will not escape you after a first listen, all of which demonstrating the prestige of musicianship The Kairos have between them. It is sure to be something that guitar music has waited a long, long time for.

Catch him and his impressive 10 piece band Saturday at Camper Calling.

Kate Lomas

The Allergies

Since  forming  in  2012  The  Allergies  have  made  it  their  mission  to  reshape  funky  vintage  sounds  for  the  modern  dancefloor. 

Both  skilled  turntablists  in  their  own  right,  and  known  for  their  45  only  vinyl  sets,  the  duo  of  DJ  Moneyshot  &  Rackabeat  first  bonded  over  their  love  of  classic  hip-hop  and  beats,  then  decided  to  pool  their  knowledge  and  skills  into  making  their  own  music. 

“We like breaks, funky basslines, horns, and dancefloor grooves. We’re inspired by the golden eras of funk, soul, disco and hip-hop, and we try to cram that into three and a half minutes”.
Don’t miss these beats, Saturday at Camper Calling!

TC & The Groove Family

TC & The Groove Family are a 10-piece collective whose music celebrates the coming together of cultures, and the unity that music can provide for everyone. Driven by drummer Tim Cook, their live shows are powerful and dynamic, exploring grooves and genres from the UK and around the world, including afrobeat, breakbeat, jungle, jazz and highlife.

Stereotonics

Since forming in mid 1999, Stereotonics fast became one of the UK's leading tribute bands. 

With the same vocal style as Kelly Jones, lead singer, Paul, has fined tuned the sound of the band to make it as close to the real thing as possible.

Using the same guitars and wearing the same clothes, watching Stereotonics could almost be like watching the real Stereophonics!

Space Cowboy

A funk filled, non stop anthem tribute to Jamiroquai, the amazing Space Cowboy will be landing at Camper Calling 2022. Bringing to life the music and hits you guys know and love, you’d be virtually insane to miss this one!

Wille & The Bandits

Essentially Wille and the Bandits is a classic blues rock band much in the vein of Cream or The Jimi Hendrix experience. But in a similar way to how these bands pushed the genre in their time, Wille and the Bandits try to take their sound beyond what is expected of such a traditional line up.

The use of more bizarre instrumentation and eclectic influences in the song writing often pushes them more into a world music or progressive category. Having toured with artists such as Deep Purple through to the John Butler trio and played major festivals across Europe, the band seem to leave an equally astounding impression on audiences of all ages and musical backgrounds with their energetic and soulful performances.

Captain Accident

Captain Accident is a reggae/ska/soul artist who creates a unique blend of rock-driven soulful roots reggae, ska, dub and rocksteady at his home studio in Cardiff. This sound is then brought to life on stage with the help of a collective of the finest musicians for an energetic live show guaranteed to get people up dancing. With soulful vocals, soaring twin guitars and a truly infectious groove, there’s no standing still when Captain Accident and his clumsy companions hit the stage.

The Institutes

The Institutes have wasted no time in becoming national radio’s favourite new Indie rock band, with support from BBC Radio 6 and Radio X catapulting them into the ears of music fans across the country. Formed in Coventry in 2018, this four-piece got to defining their sound in time for recording two sets worth of huge tracks, most of which you might hear The Institutes play on their US tour in 2021.

Sounding somewhere between New Order, The La ‘s and 80s band The Primitives, they bring along a much needed pick me up to these dark days.

Recalling to some extent the euphoric rush of The Las, the heartbeat of The Stone Roses and the melodies of The Lightning Seeds this is a band that relies on songs and they have a massive arsenal of killer tunes.

Mellowmatic

Fronted by female and male lead vocalists and rappers, with keys, synths and sax, delivering infectious bop through to tasty grooves and breaks. Mellowmatic bring a live set engineered to rock any stage, and take their audience on an eclectic musical journey via Boombap 90’s to present day.

The Novus

Legends around these parts, if you caught The Novus last year, you know you’re in for a treat!
Art-Punk band - The Novus are their own breed of excitement.

Born and raised in the Black Country & Birmingham, they live at the heart of what was once the industrial revolution. No strangers to crafting themselves, The Novus have created and defined a genre all of their own - combining all the finest aspects of their favourite music they have concocted a political psychedelia & art punk like never before. And supplying a somewhat nostalgic yet unfamiliar image with unrivalled hair and eye makeup. Battling the stereotypes of masculinity and prejudice towards their fellow ‘lefty snowflakes’. A voice for millennials, by millennials.
