Pete Bentham & The Dinner Ladies are a three piece from Liverpool. Pete on Guitar, Marigoldy on Bass and Gabrielle Fray Bentos on Drums. They are at the vanguard of current Liverpool underground scene.
Clever, witty songs about working class life involving Lorry Drivers, Cats & Dogs, always telling the truth and taking your mums advice. All set to a primitive, raw rock and roll soundtrack reminiscent of the Velvets, Cramps, Fall and Modern Lovers.
A band who actually sing about things they know and believe in and always with sense of humour.
This is Kitchencore!
“Witty tales of kitchen sink punk rock and roll”.

“Classic. These songs could be sung into hairbrushes from Birkenhead to Bangkok”
SLACKER SOUNDS
“A way more fun version of Pulp, and a Victoria Wood sketch all rolled into one.
What's not to love?” SPOONFED, LONDON
