There are four of them in Dustins Bar Mitzvah. Dave sings, Toby drums, and Rob and Baco do the guitars and basses. Baco is also in a band called The B Plan. Not to be mistaken with Plan B. Which I did.

Dustins Bar Mitzvah have a mostly elusive apostophe in their name; sometimes it's there but more frequently it's not. DiS respects the band's right to creative grammar and will subsequently also leave the pesky little ligature out.

The band recently released their first single, a double A-side of Lucy and Jimmy White on Soup Records. Showing influences of everything from The Libertines to errr... Babyshambles, we actually like it a lot. Especially Lucy. You can catch Dustins' unpredictable live show at one of their many gigs around London, and sometimes the odd one further afield. Expect ironing boards and flying beer and don't forget to put your fingers in your ears for the unforgiveable 'Get Your Fucking Mood On'.
