Live Rock Jukebox from the North-East
Hope City Rockers are here to entertain!
With years of gigging experience between them, the Hope City Rockers are guaranteed to bring something different to your pub/party/wedding.
Meet the band
Suzy is the voice behind Hope City Rockers… and what a voice!
If you’re worried a girl singing rock doesn’t work, then think again. She does it all, from 70s rock, the 80’s good times, 90’s to now – she’ll nail them all and then some… Does she ruin the “boys in the band” gang? Well she drinks more than us, swears more than us, and her jokes are far worse than ours. She fits in well!
Come and see us and judge for yourselves, but we think we’ve got one of the best rock singers in the north-east!
Favourite bands – how long have you got? Anything i can sing along to, but really liking Led Zepellin, AC/DC and Ozzy at the moment:)
Introducing one half of the “six (occasionally seven) string twanger” duo – Razor. Pointy guitar – check, Throwing shapes – check, loud vocals – check, marbles – che….erm, lets just say he’s got more hair than those! This ‘excitable pup’ of an axe-slinger will have your head spinning from the first note until the last, with his bedazzling stage presence, flying fingers of fury and enough sweat to make up for the lucky ones who are physically incapable of it (Ty and Chris)! It’s amazing he hits all the right notes whilst he’s running circles around the band! And if you think you’re safe at the back – you’re not – he’s wireless and will be coming to say hello!
Patrick is our drummer. Best we have. Only one we have thank God. He’s our solid powerhouse at the back. Although once he gets going you’ll swear he’s right beside you, he’s loud! Most drummers cheat on their bands with another few bands…. not our Patrick. Warehouse bodybuilder by day, Hope City Rockers drummer by night.
He has the only drum kit we’ve seen with a built-in crisp bowl, although he’s now super fit and an MMA contender.
Favourite bands – Mastadon, Ramstein, any other death metal group you can think of.
Turning up the heat, cooking up Michelin star licks in the fires of Mount Doom, is the second helping of our guitar duo: Ty Walker. With creamy solos, bitter riffs and sweet harmonies, he’ll tickle your taste buds and serve up a fair share of Rock ‘n’ Roll with cheesy dance moves on the side…..and that is just for for starters. Spreading on a thick signature trout pout and spicy Reggae locks, this gourmet guitar chef will leave you like Oliver, begging for seconds: “Please Sir, I want some more…..”
Music
You want a rock singer with a siren that sounds like Brian Johnson or Axl and then some? A bass player kicked out of glam bands for being too glam? Two guitarists with licks slinkier than their hips? Or a drummer that might just be the best damn drummer in this band?
You’ve just found Hope City Rockers!!
