A big thanks for making Geek ‘n Rolla a memorable event also needs to go to Enamel, a new indie band that stepped in at the last minute to add somespice to our after-party at Cafe de Paris. Although they describe themselves at being influenced by The Police, David Bowie and Duran Duran, personally I’d describe them as “more accessible Franz Ferdinand”.

Tim Dickinson (Vocals), Leo Dawkins (Guitar), Leon Barron (Keyboard), Chris Hill (Bass) and Chris Egglestone (Drums) also went to the trouble of getting a video made of the GeeknRolla evening, so here it is for your enjoyment:

A link for downloads of tunes and videos are all on their MySpace page at Myspace.com/enamel1. The band can be contacted via chris[@]chrisegglestone.co.uk. Follow them on Twitter at EnamelTheBand.

Enamel has two gigs next week..

Wednesday – 29 Apr The Wilmington Arms, Angel. London
Saturday – 2 May 333 motherbar , Old Street . London
