Show April 12th Yo Yo, Notting Hill Arts Club

It's nearly been four years since the critically acclaimed debut album 'On The Brink' from Brixton's The Thirst, was released on Rolling Stones' guitarist Ronnie Wood's label, Wooden Records.

Since then, the four piece have toured with The Stones, The Sex Pistols, Pete Doherty and have shared stages with respected grime masters Wiley and Kano, as well as notorious former drug-smuggler, Howard Marks. They have performed at Glastonbury and Isle of Wight Festivals, Hyde Park Calling, South By South West and recorded a session for Marc Riley on BBC6 Music. Their explosive live sets are now well renowned.

The band are now back, with a two-part, highly anticipated set of EPs comprising 9 tracks in total.

The first, 'Laugh With The Sinners' (available as free download from thethirst.co.uk) includes electro-groove tracks "Set It Alight" released late last year and the incredibly catchy "Damn Girl". Also featured, and now with a brand new video is "There She Goes" - all videos directed by up and coming fellow South Londoner, Jak Frsh.

The second EP is currently receiving its finishing studio touches and entitled 'Cry With The Saints' to be released later this year. Tracks from this will be showcased at the forthcoming show at Yo Yo, Notting Hill Arts Club, London on April 12th (email - the venue for guestlist).

Brothers Mensah (vocals/ guitar) and Kwame Hart (bass), Mark Lenihan (guitar) and Marcus Harris (drums/ backing vocals) represent a previously unheard voice of South London and are proud to be creators of an eclectic and diverse, yet unique Brixton sound. Influenced by a love for their Afro-Caribbean upbringing, their parents' old punk records and the drum and bass and hip-hop of their youth, The Thirst are able to transverse subcultures and genres - ska, hip-hop, indie and all that goes in-between.

Regarded as one of London's best live bands they're especially inspired by Prince and Jimi Hendrix, and embody the fiery tones of those who refuse to be labelled. They will destroy any box you try and put them in.
