The Gin Riots in Austin, Texas
October 19th, 2010
Formed at university in Bristol by Irishman Cillian Logue and Londoner Guy Stevenson,The Gin Riots started out as an acoustic folk act. Following their true calling towards a punkier style, the two upped sticks to London, advertised for musicians in various lonely-hearts columns, and stumbled across bassist Tim Burton. Late 2009 saw Taan Parker signed up for the role of drummer. They have been praised by BBC’s Tom Robinson and have their single ‘The Polka’ and video, shot in collaboration with George A. Romero out now. We hooked up with them between two gigs at SXSW in Austin.
