with demo clips too (woo)
for anyone who might be interested (probably not many :) )
Ryan and I are forming a new band with a gentleman from Burnley by the name of Simmy. Simmy used to be the lead singer & guitarist in Burnley band Pretend Girlfriend... PG split up last December, and I was tipped off by a mutual friend that the Simster himself was looking to sort out a new band... I leapt on the chance because I've seen him in action & was really impressed... he also wrote the songs for Pretend Girlfriend, so we've got a songwriter on board too
Simmy is bringing a guitarist pal of his down next week, because we want 2 guitarists in
We don't have a name yet
The plan at the moment is to do half covers & half originals, so we can go out and support bigger bands with an originals set, but also play pubs etc and do half & half... there was (maybe still is) a good Burnley band called Columbia, who used to do this & it worked well for them
it's not going to be like The Fix.. we want it to be heavier with bigger guitars, and we're going to try & stand out from most other bands out there by trying to do more with the vocal harmonies
bands we're taking influence from: Oasis, The Beatles, The Wildhearts, Sex Pistols, Foo Fighters
anyway, we've put a couple of DEMO snippets of some of our new tunes together so you can hear where we're coming from (including a couple I wrote for The Fix which I gather were not universally liked :P )
thanks to everyone who wished us well when the Fix went tits-up... it meant a lot when we were pretty down about it all... but we're definitely NOT giving up rockin and hope to see you soon
