ENGLISH BIO & PROMO
THEE KNUCKLEHEADS - Vinkovci, Croatia

Started their story in 2001. with obscure & wild 50's instrumental covers, with a touch of their own way prepared spices and sounds... In 2003. original members are going away and with new guitar player and drummer, Iggy decides to start scream and play harp. Result is total new approach - punk'n'roll with a little soul flavour - we call it garage soul! Of course, many bands did it, we are just continuing that flame - since Sonics, Bo Diddley, Link Wray... over Gories, Cramps, Gun Club... to Jack O' Fire, Mighty Caesars, Bantam Rooster, Oblivians and other great r'n'r bands!!! We played many gigs all around, with our dear friends The Babies, The Freestyleband, Concrete Worms, Gabba Gabba, Voodoo Caddilac, No Rules, COG, Erotic Biljan & His Heretics, D-Rangers, Speedbuggy...
