Film One: Finally Ready To Gig!

Anyone interested in offering NWB's only synthpop band a gig?


After what seems like a lifetime of trying we're finally ready to gig! Following on from The ICE band's fantastic request for gigs, ours looks a little rubbish as we've not achieved much really, thanks mainly to personnel issues in the percussion department. Those issues have been resolved thanks to a little black box from Japan. As a result of our more electronic direction we've evolved our sound somewhat too in the last year or so. In many ways for the better as now we really do sound different - in a good way we hope!

Band Biography

We're a synthpop duo from Manchester who draw influence from a huge variety of artists, everything from Scott Walker, Bowie, Talking Heads, Kraftwerk and everything in between.

We've got a set which lasts roughly 50 minutes, though we can add a couple of overs into the equation to pad it out if you want longer from us! As the sight of two blokes buried behind a load of equipment is hardly the most interesting thing to behold, we've also got some pretty interesting on-stage imagery for people to look at.

We've got our own transport and can provide our own PA system so there's no worries about us being an ill-equipped originals band. We're desperate to get out and let people hear our music, we'd be grateful to play anywhere and we're not remotely bothered about a fee. We'd be glad to play any unsigned/jam nights. As we're a duo we don't take up much room either.

Any venues willing to give us a chance, please get in touch.
