Bentley Rhythm Ace
West Midlands duo Mike Stokes and Richard March (former Pop Will Eat Itself) with a manic beat assault overladen with sampled kitsch. Their sound evolved in 1996 with the Ep 'Bentleys Gonna Sort You Out' - then followed a monthly residency at 'The Heavenly Social'. Their live performance is 'serious with a smirk' - they've dressed as Vikings in Iceland, Scousers in shell suits at MOS, ravers with vicks in Camden. These boys are wicked fun and very entertaining.
