Mamas Gun are a five-piece band based in London, fronted by singer/composer/producer Andy Platts. Platts is backed by bassist "Professor" Rex Horan, keyboardist Dave "Eighties" Burnell Oliver, guitarist Terry "Spiller" Lewis, and drummer "Union" Jack Pollitt. The band's homage to '70s and early-'80s era blue-eyed soul conjures everyone from Hall & Oates to Todd Rundgren to the Doors. Their debut, Route to Riches, was met with critical acclaim in the U.K. and Japan. ~ Vincent Thomas
