Ten Masked Men - Blue
Ten Masked Men are a British Death Metal covers band who specialize in 'destroying' pop classics. The band was formed in 1996 when The Mauler and The Chef did a cover of Oasis' "Wonderwall" as a joke. It was recorded on a 4-track in a bedroom and was soon followed by "Stayin' Alive", "Into the Groove" and "Beat It". These simple recordings were played to friends and in some clubs and became increasingly popular. There was still no band name at that time but all would change when overhearing a news broadcast about masked terrorists. The masked appearance fitted in well with the idea of doing a covers band and so the name Ten Masked Men was created. In 1999 the first CD, Ten Masked Men was recorded and was given out free in their local club. It was evident that the music was becoming notorious and so the CD started circulating in top London clubs.

Wild Cherry - Play That Funky Music....
Wild Cherry was a hard rock band. They had a regular gig at the 2001 Club, and with Disco big at the time, their sound didn't go over well. After one show, a black audience member shouted, "Play some funky music, white boy." Lead singer Robert Parissi decided they should, and wrote down the phrase on a bar order pad. They recorded it in Cleveland with a Disco sound - drum and bass mixed way up front. The band was concerned about the lyrics, but Parissi insisted on keeping them. This was going to be the B-side of Wild Cherry's cover of the Commodores' "I Feel Sanctified." When they heard it, the owners of their record label suggested that the B-side become the A-side. The song sold over 2 million copies,
