The quartet are best known for tunes such as I Believe In A Thing Called Love and Growing On Me, both from Permission To Land, widely regarded as the most successful British hard rock album of the 21st century.
The band split in 2006, but reunited in 2011. They have since released albums such as Hot Cakes (2012), Pinewood Smile (2017) and Motorheart (2021).
Led by flashy frontman Justin Hawkins, the band also comprise his brother, guitarist Dan Hawkins, bassist Frankie Poullain and drummer Rufus “Tiger” Taylor, son of British rock icons Queen’s drummer Roger Taylor.

Home-grown comedienne Sharul Channa will premiere her stand-up special, Saree, These Are Just Jokes!, on March 6 and 7 at pop-up club MDLR. The shows also celebrate International Women’s Day, which falls on March 8.
The shows mark 15 years since she first took the stage and are a precursor to her largest India tour to date.
Following the Singapore premiere, Channa will take the show to seven Indian cities, including Bangalore, Mumbai and Hyderabad, in March and April. She will then head to Melbourne later in April to perform her previous special, Sareeously Not Sorry, at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
Saree, These Are Just Jokes! covers familiar Channa territory – social expectations, relationships, identity, and the absurdity of knowing better and doing it anyway.
Indian saree brand Suta is the wardrobe partner for both the Singapore and India legs of the tour.
Where: MDLR, 62 Cecil Street, 02-00
MRT: Telok Ayer
When: March 6 and 7, 8pm
