THE BONNEVILLES

Direct from Northern Ireland The Bonnevilles are Andrew McGibbon Jr on Vox and Guitar and Chris McMullan on Drums. A ‘self proclaimed’ Garage Punk Blues duo. Having recorded their 3rd studio album “Arrow Pierce My Heart” the band is now preparing for release and looking forward to a heavy tour schedule.

Rick Saunders - Deep Blues “The Bonnevilles are one of the very best of the post- (early) Black Keys/White Stripes-influenced bands…deep dark punk and stylish hard roots music with good pop-sense & without a whiff of retro poly stink”

The Bonnevilles formed in 2009 and quickly released their debut, and now legendary album, “Good Suits & Fightin’ Boots” on Motor Sounds Records. McGibbon being a blues fan was moved to create The Bonnevilles after a brief time in another duo and being heavily inspired by RL Burnsides album “A Ass Pocket Of Whiskey” and bands like The Soledad Brothers and the Immortal Lee County Killers along with the traditional blues heavyweights Howlin’ Wolf, Robert Johnson, Chess Records etc combined with McMullans heavy metal drumming background the band has become one of Europes top alternative blues acts.

Career highlights so far have been playing the Deep Blues Festival in Europe 2014 and 2015 seeing them impress alongside peers like Left Lane Crusier, James Leg, Johnny Walker and Guadalupe Plata. 2012 saw The Bonnevilles nominated for best album in the N.I. Music Prize and the same recording received a 4 out of 5 review in Mojo magazine.

Besides touring to support the new album The Bonnevilles are looking forward to playing The Deep Blues Fest in Clarkesdale Mississippi in October 2015, the spiritual home of blues music.
