HORSETHIEVES

YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD FOR ROCK N ROLL, AND NEVER TOO YOUNG TO DIE!

How long would you wait for your chance to break into the music industry? Ian Sugar, lead singer of HORSETHIEVES (a lyrical, riffy rock band from London UK), has just been signed to a record label for the first time in his life, at the age of seventy!

He has been in innumerable outfits, bands working clubs in London and elsewhere since he was but a teen in tight leather trousers. Now signed to JAM records / JAM music publishing, he looks forward to the release of HORSETHIEVES’ new album, DRIVING THROUGH ZOMBIES + a re-release of their first album, PRETTY HEAVY.

“We nearly called them ‘Songs of Bitterness & Regret 1 + 2, but there are too many jokes in there,” says Sugar. “The problem is, I still wake up in the middle of the night with lyrics in my head and have to write them down. They either become songs or I lose my mind. We’d all be locked up if we weren’t in this band.”

Ian is joined by four faithful fellow stalwarts, Jon Astrop on bass (one of the Gang of Four and writer+producer of Sam Fox’s Touch Me), Wystan Mayes on guitar, Aran O’Carroll on drums, and Kinga Cichon providing backing vocals.

“It’s rock music like people used to make” says Jay Mistry, head of JAM Records. “But with a modern day narrative and an energy that is all theirs. I couldn’t resist signing HORSETHIEVES to my label – you’re never too old for rock n roll and never too young to die, so we thought we’d better get on with it.”
