A 10 piece big band from London featuring Jim Darby a World Champion Blues Harp Player who has played with everyone from Fleetwood Mac to Jools Holland, featured on lead guitar is Dave Howman composer of most of the music from most of the Monty Python Movies double BAFTA nominated for 'Every Sperm Is Sacred' and guys from Bad Manners, Talk Talk, Jeff Beck Band just to name a few. Described as A White Trash Soul Band with attitude, multi genre,  an eclectic mix of re-arranged contempory,blues, R'n'B,soul, rock, jive and Ska !
With a brass section, percussion, hammond organ, they deliver a huge sound, imagine a slightly scaled down Jools Holland Band meets Brian Setzer Orchestra and you would be close !
Nothing like it since the big Rnb bands of the 60's like Geno Washington & The Ram Jam Band, Georgie Fame & The Blue Flames, Zoot Money & The Big Roll Band and The Graham Bond Organization ! See them you'll be amazed !

So many good sounds, and the year hasn\'t ended yet so not fair to ask.....
Who would you like to support?
Tough one, Prince would be cool, Lilly Allen would be fun, Amy Whinehouse would be even funnier

Cider but can down plenty of lager as well, used to drink bottles of Jack Daniels during the act when we were starting out thought it was cool, no it was fucking expensive and made us play like prats !!

Get Rich and Famous, whats yours ?
How did you get together? (if you’re a group etc)
It was funny the bass player and drummer had played together for years and decided to do something different so over a year put this band together, it was karma it was meant to happen, they guys are like one big boys night out with instruments, we enjoy each others company as much as we love the music
What do you do in the real world?
Marketing (useful really)
How did you come up with your name?
I used to read Superman Comics when I was a lad and remember a series featuring this planet called Bizzarro, which was a doppelganger planet to Earth, everyone and everything was replicated except on Bizzarro just a stranger version, suits our band to a tee The Bizzarros
