More on 22-20s
Description from Wikipedia:
The 22-20s were an English rock band from Sleaford, Lincolnshire. With a trademark blues rock meets adrenaline skiffle sound, one paper described the 22-20s as sounding like "The White Stripes as played by The Jimi Hendrix Experience". Though the band split in January 2006, their song "Devil in Me" is regularly heard in the UK as the backing track for a Vauxhall Astra TV advert.
Named after the song 22-20 Blues by Skip James, the 22-20s formed as a three-piece with Martin Trimble on guitar/vocals, Glen Bartup on bass and Mark Barrett, later to be followed by James Irving, on drums. They were soon augmented live by Charly Coombes (brother of Supergrass' brothers Gaz and Rob Coombes) on keyboards, who subsequently joined 'full time.'
Their first studio-recorded album, a self-titled, 10-track effort, was released in September 2004, following a six-track live EP released the previous year. Both releases were critically acclaimed. They toured the US and supported Oasis on tour in July 2005, though many commented that their work-rate was modest (for a band trying to 'break'). They broke up on 25 January 2006, after cancelling planned appearances at V festival and Pukklepop, and while in the process of recording a long awaited and long delayed second album.
On that occasion Martin Trimble released the following statement:
The band are set to reform for the Heavenly Festival in September 2008 at the Royal Festival Hall in London, however it is unknown whether this will be a one-off show or a longer re-union . Charly Coombes is currently touring as part of the Supergrass live band and it is currently unknown if he will be part of this reunion.
