About

The Scintillas are a band from South London which began in 2003 with Neville and Paul meeting at a local music college in Epsom. They began writing and recording music together, largely unperformed for several years, but with a rare one off gig they met a young female guitarist, Laura. It was at this point Bob joined and completed the band and give them the steady beat, from which their unique rock/reggae sound was born. When they're together they look like they're having a good time and carry themselves with a kind of shambolic charisma both on and off stage. This characteristic also reflects in the music they write; serious, but not that serious. 

The Scintillas have played alongside bands such as The View, Razorlight, Toploader, Dogs and Pete and the Pirates and have played at Camden's Barfly, Islington's 02 Academy and Wimbledon's The Watershed on a regular basis along with The Grove Tavern also in Wimbledon. The Scintillas have also been blessed with the presence of John from the Ozric Tentacles on stage for performances of the band's song "Amsterdam". The Scintillas are a must see act who have played the London circuit for a few years and if you haven't seen them now is the time,so come see what all the fuss about and enjoy.
