The Official BLOKE Biography.

Based in Cannock in the heart of the Midlands, the band are certainly no newcomers to the live music scene.

Under the name of BabyFace they extensively toured the U.K, with the likes of Wolfsbane, Blow, Toyah, Glenn Hughes and Feeder. Their debut CD “Forward in Reverse” received airplay on both local and national radio, even a Brazilian radio station featured the bands material on its rock show.

The CD was also enthusiastically received by the music press:

“Touches Brilliance” ..... Kerrang Magazine

“An Album of Which They Can Be Proud”.... Raw Magazine

Around the mid 1990’s during the “tribute band boom”, with the demand for original bands in decline, the band decided to try and widen their appeal and out-tribute the tribute bands with the creation of BLOKE.

Billed as “a tribute to rock music with attitude”, the BLOKE set is drawn from a melting pot of rock styles, heavily influenced by the music featured on Kerrang radio everyday of the week.

AC/DC to THE FRATELLIS, GREENDAY to THE KILLERS,

REEF to THE STEREOPHONICS, U2 to THE WONDERSTUFF.

The enthusiastic response received from audiences, in pubs, clubs, schools, colleges, universities, custom bike rallies and private parties is testimony to the fact that BLOKE are a band whose strength lie in their live shows and whose sense of humour is always as loud as the songs they perform.
