The Petty Thieves are an explosive 7 piece sleazy Reggae/Ska band from the dirty suburbs of Medway, Kent.
Since early 2016 The Petty Thieves have quickly established themselves in the local music scene, putting their dirty Reggae footprint firmly down in the Medway towns. The Thieves released their E.P 'Better Things' in 2017 leading them to play shows up and down the country, headlining Wigfest as well as main stage at One Love Festival, ending the year by support Ska legends Bad Manners at Concorde 2 in Brighton.
2018 was a huge year for the Thieves and it kicked off with a new single 'Riddles Of Madness' in the build-up to the thieving rapscallions eagerly anticipated debut album 'The Right To What Is Wrong'. The gigs came thick and fast, taking the underground Festival scene by the cahoonas. Last summer they played Jurassic Fields Festival, Ey Up Mi Duck Fest, Chin Up Fest, Gig In The Park, Tonbridge Calling, Glastnost plus headline slots at Kimbofest and One Love Festival.
To finish the year off, during december 2018 The Petty Thieves had support slots with Dub Pistols at the Booking Hall Dover & Dutty Moonshine Big Band at the Concorde 2 Brighton.
Starting 2019 as they mean to go on, The Petty Thieves supported Tankus The Henge in January. This year The Thieves have shows lined up all over the country including support slots with the legendary Terry Hall from The Specials, NYC band The Toasters and Captain Accident plus festivals slots at Maui Waui festival, One Love Festival, Smallworld Festival, Faversham and Gillingham Beers Festivals plus more to be announced.
With a live sound ready for any audience and new material in the works, The Petty Thieves are on the move and you’re all invited to the party! Their upbeat sleazy Reggae sound will steal your heart but not your belongings and keep you skanking through the night!
