A NEW Stourbridge band is set to lead a lineup of original town talent at their biggest gig to date.
Lemonade Demons will be on stage at The Rock Cafe 2000, Stourbridge, tonight (Thursday September 25) at the top of a four-band bill.
The four-piece, featuring Kyle Parsons on vocals, guitarist Ian Cole, bassman Russell Pearson and drummer John Charles Cooke, formed in May 2008 and have already caused a stir on the Midlands music scene with a mix they describe as lyrical folk rock, French pop and fun.
Support at the Mill Race Lane venue comes from three other bands with growing reputations in the region - The Limassols, The Pargeters and B Block Blues.
