The Vinyl Avengers
The Vinyl Avengers are DJ’s Loadz & LadyJade – – > Anglo-American, vegan, vinyl-only Mod/Soul DJ’s, based in South Devon, UK. We do retro vinyl parties, playing a mix of Mod revival, Classic Motown, Stax Records, Atlantic soul, freakbeat, ska, 2-tone, new wave, 60’s garage punk, Hammond grooves, beat, northern soul . . .
DJ Loadz, still rides his vintage Lambretta! He built a name for himself as a long-standing Mod/RnB/Soul DJ in Devon in the 80’s/90’s.
Lady Jade grew up in L.A., worked for the legendary Kim Fowley in Hollywood. Then DJ’d in Tokyo and London, sharing a stage with the James Taylor Quartet, Bruce Willis(!) and many other acts. Most memorable night was DJ’ing for Rod Stewart in Tokyo.
We currently reside in Torquay and have been DJ’ing in South Devon as the VINYL AVENGERS since 2009. We have the honour of organising the annual Torbay March of the mods event, raising money for the Teenage Cancer Trust, now in it’s 4th year.
In addition to our regular nights, we are available for selected private & charity events. We currently play in Devon, Cornwall, a few venues in the Midlands, South West and Greater London area, and have annual events in Madrid.
