Music Line-Up Bristol 2013

Grillstock tackles music with the same lip smackin’ gusto that it does ribs, brisket and pork butt. The main stage hosts a line-up that reflects a deep affection for American roots music lanced through with a distinctly British sense of humour and boisterous attitude. The stage is lovingly curated by one of the small team that programmes Glastonbury’s main stages.

Ha Ha Tonka

“A couple of rootsy, passionate, scruffy groups such as Mumford & Sons did their thing at the Grammy Awards this year, exposing their music to a relatively vast audience in one fell swoop. Mumford’s music is fine, but it’s a shame that Ha Ha Tonka couldn’t have taken that group’s spot. The Missou...

Hot Fiction

Hot Fiction are a hotly tipped English Soul/Rock band. They've been aired on Absolute Radio, courted by Christian Dior and featured by music festivals up-and-down the country. Their most recent album, Apply Within, was release to critical acclaim in October 2012 and was the highlight of a natio...

The Hot Tin Roofs

Like the bastard child of Mae West and Little Richard, the Hot Tin Roofs mix a Spanish elbowed measure of rhythm 'n' blues with a significant twist of swing and shake, to create an intoxicating blend of music that kicks like a mule and gives your senses a sassy smack from behind!

Los Yanquis

Bristol's own rockin' roadhouse, honky-tonk country blues band. A heady mix of Americana, Tex-Mex, country blues and tear stained ballads, the Yanqs never fail to get the dance floor jumpin and jivin, Best washed down with a jug of beer and a shot of bourbon.

Bite the Buffalo

Brothers Stos (guitar / voc) and Miti Goneos (drums / voc) were raised in the mining towns of the Zambian Copperbelt but their hearts might lie in the south west USA – an area they’ve toured extensively. The brothers spit out fuzz laden stoner riffs and jagged rock hooks in a sound happily compar...

Crows Parliament

Take the grit of Muddy Waters or Jack White and add the drive of the Pixies and the melodic reach of Fleetwood Mac and you can begin to get an inkling of what Crows Parliament sound like. Epic musicianship and some seriously great tunes.

Lady Nade & the Silhouettes

The sound of Lady Nade & The Silhouettes suggests a blend of soul, funk, R&B and folk yet remains refreshingly unique. Lady Nade’s influences as a songwriter include Nina Simone, Lauryn Hill, Antony And The Johnsons, Amy Winehouse, and many others.

Levi Roots

He’s made a packet since he went on Dragons Den and persuaded them to invest in his tangy Reggae Reggae Sauce. Make a similarly astute investment and check out his sweet reggae reggae music.

Radio Nasties

Hail! Hail! Rock'n'Roll! Radio Nasties kick out good time Garage Pop tunes jam packed with filthy riffs and killer hooks to keep the dance floors boppin'!

Rainy & The Dust

“Like Bill Withers on a surfboard or a slacker generation Paul Simon, Rainy’s laid back grooves get under your skin” Justin Adams (Robert Plant collaborator) perfectly sums up the new West Coast sound of Rainy & the Dust.

Sicknote Steve

Not just a tribute act but a genuine Wales based soul brother to the much loved Seasick version. As much a Grillstock staple as hot coals and sticky ribs.
