The Story of Spandex Bullet
Spandex Bullet crashed onto the Kent music scene in 2024 with one mission: To shake up the tired old cover band formula. We’d had enough of lifeless, note-for-note renditions of the same overplayed pub rock, so we decided to do something about it. Fueled by the spirit of punk, we set out to bring some chaos, energy, and fun back to live music.
We take the songs you forgot that you loved (or maybe just wish you’d forgotten entirely) and tear into them with reckless abandon. But this isn’t just a nostalgia trip - it’s a full-blown celebration of what makes music exciting in the first place. Every gig is a chance to cut loose, sing loud, and get swept up in the madness.
Spandex Bullet isn’t just another covers band. We’re a reminder that music should be fun, unpredictable, and maybe just a little bit unhinged. So grab a drink if that's your thing, get in the pit (or at least near it), and let’s make some noise!
Meet The Band
Dave
Vocals & Percussion
Dave was born to be a frontman. Or, more specifically, he was found in a pub in Kent, and nothing could stop him from standing in front of people and shouting at them. We don't even know why he bothers with a microphone half of the time.
Entirely unafraid of doing silly things in front of a crowd, Dave has always harboured a desire to sing punked-up covers of distinctly un-punk songs, and has finally found his musical home with his Spandex Bullet brothers.
As the band's biographer, Dave is also handsome, urbane, witty, and incredibly well endowed.
Musical influences: Ginger Wildheart, Frank Zappa, Prince, Devin Townsend, and for some reason, terrible garage rock from the 1960s.
Rich
Guitar
Born in the Pit Towns of Western Yorkshire and raised on meat pies, gravy and dandelion & burdock, Rich followed the well-trodden path from High School band into the abyss of middle of the road pub cover bands.
Despite all the Northern grimness and his voyage through musical purgatory, Rich's punk soul always yearned for more, and he was saved from his drudgery when the Bullet came calling.
His love of riffs and power chords now reignited, you’ll rarely hear him play a scale, because "Tha wun’t mek no brass past t’12th fret!"
Musical influences: CKY, anything Cal-Punk, The Bangles - although that one's not really about the music.
Will
Bass
Bass.
Player.
Luke
Guitar
Beneath Luke's calm exterior beats the heart of a guitarist forged in the sweaty, violent, beer-soaked punk scene of the... uh... education profession.
Despite how it looks, he hates guitar sex faces.
Stands 5'6, or 4'11 without any hair product in.
Musical influences: Motörhead, Alexei Sayle, Bad News, Neil Pye
Si
Drums
In a band chock-full of nerds, Si really stands out. Partly because he's really tall, but also because of the vast swathes of geeky tattoos adorning his elegant frame.
Hits things like a sonofabitch, though.
Musical influences: Koji Kondo, Ellen McLain.
