Ibiza Rocks Hotel - HUNGOVER STUNTMEN Resident from 28th May till 14th June
Ibiza Rocks No Comments »Hungover Stuntmen will be resident at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel from 28th May till 14th June . We can expect some great performances at the hotel this summer…
Hungover Stuntmen, the story:
The band had been gigging for two years when Mark Wallis, legendary producer of U2, Morrisey and Travis, heard the lads’ home recordings and offered to record new demos in his studio.
Tour slots with The Subways and The Kooks followed. Then, remarkably, on hearing the Wallis demo at a party, Paul Weller invited the boys to support him at Newcastle Arena.
Their performance was described in the local press as “triumphant… they had the crowd rocking… performing in front of thousands as if they did it every night”.
The national papers also sat up and took notice, The Sun announcing Hungover Stuntmen “a brilliant new band”, the Sunday Mirror declared “watch out for these boys” adding that both Weller and Roger Daltrey were describing them as “fantastic”.
Zane Lowe chipped in on Radio One after seeing one of the Subways’ shows, describing Hungover Stuntmen as “awesome”. Phill Jupitus on BBC SixMusic adding that they were “really a very good turn”
So impressed was Steve Cradock, guitarist in Paul Weller’s band and Ocean Colour Scene, that he too offered to record the lads in the studio, also joining them on stage at a gig in Newcastle
On hearing Steve Cradock’s recordings Andy Taylor, guitarist with Duran Duran and Power Station, offered to record the lads in his studio, too. He also took to the stage with them at an acoustic gig in Ibiza.

In August of 2006 BBC 6Music’s Clare McDonnell took to playing tracks from the band’s demos on the station’s Dream Ticket show, exclaiming “Everybody’s absolutely raving about them, and rightly so!”
In September 2006 Hungover Stuntmen played a storming show at 3BandStand for Teenage Cancer Trust alongside The Futureheads, Jools Holland & Paul Weller.
An acoustic support for Get Cape Wear Cape Fly followed and shortly afterwards two more gigs with Paul Weller, before going into 4 months of intensive rehearsal before the Ibiza recording sessions.
