Reviews of Alternative Bands available in Maidstone

5/5 from 190 reviews
Photo of Tizane Tizane "I loved watching Tizane, they definitely picked up a new fan. They had the entire audience in the palm of their hand. The diverse original songs they played ranged from emotional and heartfelt, having the audience almost in tears, to upbeat and fun, leaving the room dancing, especially during their song 'Why Not Me'. I loved their song 'Running', it begun completely fragile and beautiful, but each chorus revealed that angsty, pop punk sound." Based in Dartford, England (18 miles from Maidstone) Ellie Miller - Camden Assembly Photo of RockEnergy RockEnergy "Hi Nick, Thank you and John for your great work on Saturday night, you were brilliant, everybody loved you and people said when then get the opportunity they are going to hire your services.
