About
Eclectic (sexy) weirdness from the Midlands. They describe themselves as 'Body snatching carnival punk'. We describe them as fun, fun fun. So don't be shy, come and have some beer, some shots, a dance, and get sexy.

JOHNNY KOWALSKI AND THE SEXY WEIRDOS HAVE TRAVELLED THOUSANDS OF MILES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD IN THE PAST 4 YEARS OR SO. WITH ELECTRIC GRITAR, WILD FOREST FIDDLE, 5 TON DRUMS, SOLID BRASSIFICATIONS AND DOBRÝ DUB BASS THEY HAVE HONED A LIVE SHOW FULL OF UPBEAT NUMBERS WITH INFLUENCES FED DIRECTLY FROM EASTERN EUROPE, JAMAICA AND THE LAST 50 YEARS OF ROCK’N’ROLL.

The whole band perform with swagger and without shame. Their purpose is to coax, seduce and tantalise audiences into the joy of dancing with abandon.

In early 2014 The Sexy Weirdos worked with respected producer Gavin Monaghan (Robert Plant, Lee Scratch Perry, The Destroyers) to record their 10 track second album Kill the Beast, the follow up to their self recorded primary release Victory for the Monsters. In addition to airplay on BBC Radio 6 Music, and making a string of music videos supported by their wonderful hometown crowd, the band has been commited to playing gigs outside of the Birmingham area. This has gained them a widespread and loyal fanbase, with appearances at festivals and packed out venues across europe during multiple tours.
