The neo-psychedelic power-pop quartet Baby Lemonade, formed in Los Angeles, debuted in 1994 with the six-song “Wonderful” EP, released on the Sympathy for the Record Industry label. Following the record's release, the band - comprised of singer/guitarist Rusty Squeezebox, guitarist Mike Randle, bassist Dave Chapple and drummer David “Daddy-O” Green - accepted an invitation to tour with Arthur Lee in a reunited version of his legendary band Love. But this was short-lived: in 1996 Arthur Lee was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment on firearms offences. Baby Lemonade remained with Sympathy, for whom they recorded 1997's full-length “68% Pure Imagination”. “Exploring Music”, their first record for the Big Deal label, followed a year later and “High Life Suite” was released in mid-2001. Following Arthur Lee’s much publicised release from prison in 2001 Baby Lemonade were once again invited to perform as Love. In the three years thereafter the band went on to enjoy unprecedented success with sell-out tours of the UK, Europe and USA. Huge critical acclaim accompanied their rendition of the classic Love album “Forever Changes” which was filmed by the BBC at the “Glastonbury Festival” and “Later With Jools Holland”. Arthur Lee even went on to collect a “Lifetime Achievement” award from MOJO and a “Living Legend” award from the NME. Sadly, Arthur Lee passed away in 2006 following complications arising from leukaemia. In Arthur's absence, many current artists such as Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Dears, Siddhartha (Marlon Hauser), The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Apollo Heights and Yo La Tengo cite Arthur's music as a major influence. With interest in Arthur Lee and Love’s music apparently unceasing, Baby Lemonade have decided to continue to p

Over 18's only

THE AC/DC show - LIVE/WIRE - have established themselves as THE hardest working AC/DC tribute in the UK as well as being unique, due to having both the Bon Scott and Brian Johnson eras portrayed by two individual singers, in the same two hour plus performance. The band continues to develop and enhance their live performance to attain their ultimate goal, which focuses on the professional delivery of the AC/DC show in the bigger venues. The ‘Stick This In Your Fusebox’ 2008 tour sees the presentation of a full AC/DC show in theatres with the Cannons, the Hells Bell, the walkways, backdrops and drapes. With Andy, Ed & Daz providing the rock hard rhythm section that you can set a watch to, Lorne cutting the rug with the frenetic fretboard antics as Angus Young and Jon & Grant as the legendary Bon Scott and larynx shredding Geordie, Brian Johnson, respectively, LIVE/WIRE hold all the aces. “Attention to detail” is their watchword. From the AC/DC signature sound, the instruments, the stage attire, right through to recreating the moves and the grooves. ……. it’s all present & correct. If you are going to replicate an AC/DC show, you have to do it right. The band pride themselves on putting on an exact replica of an AC/DC show that gives the fans ultimate value for money and keeps them coming back for more. A LIVE/WIRE show is all about the band and the fans being in it together. The ‘Stick This In Your Fusebox’ 2008 tour will see the largest production yet for the audience to savour. Who said bigger isn’t better?!! LIVE/WIRE don’t just want to invite you to an AC/DC show……they want to put you slap bang in the front row centre of the whole maelstrom!
