The Windmill presents:
The Rebel Residency - Night #3
The Rebel + Peeping Drexels + Honkies
Entry Requirements: 18+
The Rebel has been a huge influence on many bands around south London so last June, we thought we'd give him a four-week residency and invite along some guests. They were such good times that we decided to run it again this year, every Wednesday in June.
And, if you want to come to all four nights, there's a special season ticket available for £13.
THE REBEL
The alter ego of Country Teasers’ Ben Wallers, The Rebel dates back to the tail-end of the 80s—having existed side-by-side throughout Country Teasers’ prolific career—often releasing records at a steadier clip than Waller’s main project with songs too madcap to fit into even their William-Burroughs-by-way-of-The-Residents take on country music.

Peeping Drexels
Peeping Drexels make music about horrible people. From tales of drunk driving to songs exploring the ignorance of modern Britain, their music is the reflection of an angry working class, abandoned by their government in a post-brexit, post-progressive world.
Brewing from the ever expanding South London scene, Peeping Drexels have been gigging relentlessly for the past year, perfecting their live set into an aggressive punch in the face to anyone brave enough to watch. Akin to bands like Fat White Family in style and stage presence, the band recently had their biggest ever headline show, with LUMER and Treeboy & Arc in support, as part of some of London's' biggest promoters 'big in 2018' series of events at The Sebright Arms.
Having caused a stir with recent single 'The Goof', released via new label Permanent Creeps, and having already played with the likes of Phobophobes, Goat Girl, Meatraffle, Table Scraps, Vulgarians, LICE, Yowl, Hotel Lux, Sweaty Palms, Beachtape and Bo Gritz (to name but a few), Peeping Drexels are fast becoming one of London's most exciting prospects.
Peeping Drexels are: Dylan Coates Joe Love Finton Hurst Otis Hurst Pablo Bagshaw
