Bottlejob

The band began life under a different name. Originally called
Wastelanders, the band was formed by two mates, bassist Egoitz and drummer
boy Jaume. This was back in 1998 and after a few experiments with different
line ups it settled down into the the four
trouble-makers who made the debut album "You and whose army".
With Phil on vocals, who had previously played for Scurvy and Intensive Care, and guitar taken on by the evil genius Xabi. The band played its first
few gigs in the london squat scene late 1999 and changed its name shortly
after finding out Wastelanders was a name being used by some techno pop
outfit. Being hard-drinking street tough gentlemen it was decided a change
in moniker was necessary. Begin 2006 Jaume decided to quit the band as he is planning to move back to Barcelona. After a couple of months Bram, drummer for hardcore band SuiCider was recruited to hit the skins.
'Bottlejob' - london slang, sounding like a bottle in the face, it refers
to a coward or what the Cockney Rejects would call a 'shitter'. Stand
together and never run.
The band is an unlikely mix of london and basque Still mostly playing around London
with a few forays around the country there have also been gigs in France,
Basque country and Italy. Played with the likes of Argy Bargy, Deadline, Vice Squad and more, the best is still yet to come from this band.
Last year sadly Bram left the band to pursue his other projects and he's buzy playing all over the world. We wish him all the best. Luckily, Ibon, "Tartalo" came in and has been practicing with us for a while so we're back and barking!!
