 Bravo is to take a journey deep into the
sordid underbelly of rock ‘n’ roll with a brand new documentary series
following the young, dynamic and dangerous punk rock band Towers of London as
they launch their bid for mega-stardom.
‘The Towers of London’, a major 10-part
series due to tx. on the 26th October, is an intense, no holds barred glimpse
of the dizzying highs and devastating lows of life on the road. Cameras have
followed the band over the last nine months as they rampage through tours of
the UK
and US in their own inimitable style.Forget the whimsical ramblings of Pete
Doherty, Towers of London are five young men with big hair, big dreams and an
even bigger attitude. Already having gained a notorious reputation among
promoters for wild rock ‘n’ roll antics which have left them banned from scores
of venues across the country, Towers of London live the rock ‘n’ roll dream to
the max, leaving a trail of carnage and destruction in their wake.
During the series their gigs range from
being bottled off stage in Norfolk, to being personally chosen by Guns ‘N’
Roses – the unrivalled world experts in debauched rock ‘n’ roll bad behaviour –
to open their UK arena tour. Off-stage the action is just as dramatic as we see
the Towers drink, fight and get arrested – usually all in the same evening.
Towers of London,
who will open the main stage at this year’s Reading
and Leeds festivals, mix the rock dumbness of
Motley Crue with the raw power of the Sex Pistols. At their core is the
incendiary combination of the Tourette brothers – singer Donny – cocky showoff,
babe magnet and the perfect frontman - and his axe hero brother Dirk. They are
joined by the enigmatically-named The Rev on lead guitar with Tommy Brunette on
bass and drummer Snell.
The show that turns the volume right up to
11, ‘The Towers of London’ is a full-frontal assault on the senses and
essential viewing for anyone who has ever wondered if they could hack it in a
band yearning for rock superstardom.
