PRANKSTERS

"Vaske ægte punk-rock udført af rutinerede musikere" Sådan lød ordene i Gaffa, da Pranksters udgav deres første demo i 2004, og siden har der været fuld fart på det hæsblæsende punkrock band. Efter et utal af koncerter både herhjemme, i Sverige og Tyskland, bad DKB Motor i foråret 2007 Pranksters om at supporte Good Charlotte i Store Vega København. I marts 2008 rejste bandet til Japan og spillede 12 succesfulde koncerter, og ved hjemkomsten blev bandet inviteret inden for i Go’ Morgen Danmark på TV 2 til et interview om turen. Men den musikalske rejse stoppede ikke her. Efter en del airplay på P3 spillede Pranksters til en udsolgt koncert med Flogging Molly i Store Vega i juni 2008. I november spillede bandet med The Causaulties på Loppen. Og i december samme år fløj Pranksters direkte ind på Boogielisten med videoen Living Disaster. Her lå bandet i fire uger, og mellem jul og nytår røg videoen helt op på en andenplads. Udover at spille koncerter har Pranksters netop lavet en aftale med pladeselskabet Danish Music Company. Pranksters arbejder samtidig på en række interessante nyheder, som kan opleves i løbet af foråret og sommeren 2010.
