From The Hull Daily Mail=
The Hamsters have been together for 15 years, and recently played their 3,000th gig.
Billed as the UK's premier blues/rock performers, The Hamsters are now set to perform at The Springhead Pub, Aston Road for the first time.
The band originally got its name from the Sex Pistols, who used it as a pseudonym.
Now its members say they enjoy the irony of being an aggresive band with a cuddly name.
Respected across the UK, The Hamsters count former world champion Formula One driver Damon Hill amongst their fans.Members of the band, widely regarded as the leading interpreters of the music of Jim Hendrix, have performed with artists such as Eric Clapton,Doctor Feelgood, Walter Trout and British blues phenomenon Alexis Korner.
Early in 1995, the band released Route 666, wich entered the NME chart at number 7.And The Hamsters' new live album They Live By Night was released in January.It features 15 tracks,11 of which have never been recorded by the band before, including new material.
Having toured the USA and performing at three sell-out Jimi Hendrix festivals in Holland, they're now concentrating on Europe.They can be seen at the Springhead Pub on Friday, April the 12th.
