James Watt & the Avenues are a Surf and Rock’n’Roll 3-piece,
Playing mainly reverb-drenched instrumental songs that evoke the sound of crashing waves and covering songs from the early days of rock and roll at The Shire Horse, Kettering.
Named after a Corby, Northants street name, the band are made up of a sex-toy-dispatching Bassist, an NHS-programming-Guitarist and an ‘African Sunset’ Drummer who stands up and plays a bespoke Yamaha Electronic kit.
They are influenced by all things 60s-instrumental Surf Rock, Punk, Classical and obviously Rock’n’Roll.
Formed in 2013 from an acoustic 2 piece who played the James Bond theme (acoustically), the band finally followed their influences and progressed to a proper setup with the traditional Guitar, Bass & Drums.
Come and witness their set and their Shirts at The Shire Horse, Kettering.
