The Hamsters are a UK band originating from Southend on Sea in Essex.
They are a three-piece band comprising of vocalist/guitarist, drummer and bass player.
They are usually described as being a blues-rock band, which is a bit of a misnomer. They prefer to be described as being influenced by American roots music rather than any one specific type of music.
They are considered by many to be the UK's leading interpreters of the music of Jimi Hendrix and ZZ Top.
It is due to the fact that they are best known for their covers of Hendrix and 'the Top' that the description of being a blues rock band arose.
In actual fact these covers only make up a small part of their playlist, the majority of their music coming under the Americana categorisation.
As of April 2007, they are in their 20th year and have performed more than 3,750 shows in that time.
