Prevous success:
	Flaming Monkeys After attending Realistic Rock's Get In A Band And Play Course, The Flaming Monkeys have become Epsom and Ewell's best known band! The Flaming Monkeys are personally tutored and managed by Robin and Richard Henderson of Realistic Rock. Over the past 6 months they have won XFM's Rock School competition, supported the Kaiser Chiefs at Brixton Academy and have had countless appearances on National Television and Radio including Blue Peter! Over the Summer of 2006 they appeared at numerous festivals including Bournemouth Live and the prestigious o2 Wireless festival in Hyde Park. The boys have also toured with The Faders to over 60,000 fans in Scotland as part of an Arena Tour. In 2007 the band won the best Live Unsigned Act at the vodafone live music awards at Earls Court and appeared on Channel 4. They then went on to win best unsigned band at the Kerrademy awards run by top Rock radio station Kerrang Radio. www.myspace.com/flamingmonkeys
Realistic Rock are currently working with the following bands:
	Black and White Black and White formed on Realistic Rocks Get In A Band and Play course in 2006. Since then the boys have made a big impression on the local music scene. In 2007 they won the Rococo music prize at Suttons Best Band and were the winners of Carshalton’s Best Band. Black and White are also the most recent winners of XFM Rockschool competition. The band stormed to victory with an amazing cover version of "Give it away" by the Chilis and performed the track live in front of 5000 people at Brixton Academy alongside Bloc Party, Kate Nash and Supergrass at XFM's Winter Wonderland Concert! www.myspace.com/blackandwhitebanduk
	The Theory Of Six Degrees Scott and Joe were both members of the 'TMi' Saturday morning BBC show's HouseBand in 2007. They performed live on the show on 6 Saturdays. After this they went on to form Where's Spike and got through to the final 10 on XFm's Rock School in 2007. Scott and Joe are really pleased to have teamed up with two very talented musicians in Jack.S. and Jack.T. All four are great friends already and are really enjoying this experience. So these four guys, with an average age of 11 & 3/4, have formed The Theory of 6 Degrees and they are working with the Realistic Rock team in Epsom. They formed in January 2008 and have already got three great compositions which they have performed live at a number of gigs, along with some of their favourite covers. The band have gigged at Epsom Playhouse, Sutton High Street, Epsom High Street, Wallington, Bourne to Rock, Party in the Park - Caterham, Betchworth Hall and Dorking Halls where they came 2nd by 1 pont in the finals of Amphishock 2008. www.myspace.com/thetheoryof6degrees
	Roxxi Four piece girlband 'Roxxi' formed at Christmas 2007 when they met through music school, Realistic Rock. Their first gig was a sold out show at The Epsom Playhouse and the girls started the way they intend to go on! Although all under the age of 13, they play their own instruments, write their own songs and definitely know how to rock! Roxxi play a fun mix of pop and rock, influenced by artists like Avril Lavigne, Girls Aloud, New Found Glory and Kate Nash. www.myspace.com/roxxiband
	The Bare Faced Cheek The Barefaced Cheek are a newly formed indie rock band from the Surrey area. Here's the story: Roughly three years ago, in a quiet part of England called Chipstead, two guys named Oli Robinson and Max Mayhew met and started creating songs. After years of frequently jamming together they decided to take some action. In the summer of 2007 they both went on a rock course named 'Realistic Rock' to meet other musicians and compete in a battle of the bands at the end. They met Robin Henderson, who started to guide Oli and Max. With the name 'Dazed', the runner of Realistic Rock, Robin, the manager of such bands as 'The Flaming Monkeys' suggested a drummer named Sam Thomason. After calling in Lloyd Allen to play bass, they changed their name to 'The Barefaced Cheek'. They wrote some more songs, and started some gigs in the area around Epsom. Now with a new bassist, David, they're in full swing. Nothing in this world can stop The Barefaced Cheek. Not even Mr T. www.myspace.com/thebarefacedcheek
