Molly Karloff, Suicide Notes & Das Ghoul - Three of Oxford's top original rock outfits
Molly Karloff, Suicide Notes & Das Ghoul triple header. Three of Oxford's best original rock bands all with their own distinct take on the genre. The Karloffs are already pretty well known further afield on the indie metal scene getting exposure On Planet Rock and gigs in the legendary Fiddler's elbow with their hard hitting heavy style. Suicide Notes were just starting to make a big impression with their own particular brand of 'sleeze rock'. Think of Dogs D'Amour and Hanoi Rocks rolled up in a big Woodbine and washed down with a Jack Daniels gargle and you have the general idea. 100% attitude and wonderful melodic roots rock. Das Ghoul is a band with a big following in the area with punchy rock cues and perhaps taking their darker but always humour laden approach from the Alice Cooper book of rock theatricality. A hell of a night you might say!
