Shouting, kicking, thrashing, sex drugs and GARAGE.
Drink beer and start a band, simple as that. A short
interview with THEE VICARS.

Who are Thee Vicars? Where are you guys from?
Thee Vicars are four young lads ages between 17-19 from a small town in Suffolk called Bury St. Edmunds.

How and when did the band start?
The band started in April 2007. We were terribly drunk at the time, at a gig in our town. We were appauled at the bands, not just that night, but every gig in the town. We’d already played together in other bands (though not playing outside of sleepy Suffolk) and we rambled on about starting a band that would actually be exciting and fun. Surprisingly we remembered the conversation and followed up on it the next day! From then we discovered that not all live bands are bad, just most of them.

What bands have influenced your sound the most?
Mostly 60’s bands such as The Chocolate Watchband, The Kinks, The Stones, The Standells, The Remains, The Sevens. And obviously there’s Billy Childish who has an amazing sound.

What can an audience expect from a Thee Vicars gig?
Loud, LOUD raw sounds, dancing, rambling…all kinds of mischief.

Are there any crazy stories or gigs that you would like to share?
Our guitarist threw up on himself outside Patronaat in Haarlem recently after too much beer mixed with magic mushrooms and our manager drew a swastika on his bell-end in Berlin and flashed it around…

So, you have an upcoming tour with the Black Lips. That’s amazing. How did that happen, are you guys excited?
King Khan told them about us and they came to see us play at Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes in London before they flew home. Jared begged us to play some gigs with them, we said yes. Hell yeah we’re excited!!
