as they know very well, an explosive live act proving that they are one of the best bands of this genre!

The infamous pistoleros band returns to Block 33 after 6 long years on Friday 19th May to wreak havoc with a live musical mix full of sonic explosions and a brand new album with the theme of the wild west running through its veins.

They come in saloon mood and more unpredictable than ever like a fusion of Latin prison gang and tequila swiggers in a spaghetti western, but shot in a rodeo! Legends in Britain's urban scene and adored by hip hop fans due to Seanie Tee's excellent rap vocals,

they will captivate you with their energy and passion on stage, offering an explosive show.
