Thy shall not forget the music...

Yea, ok so I've done the rant! I'll get onto the music.
I'd firstly like to say.. Thank you to everyone that replied to the facebook group. I f**kig love musicians!! The response was massive and so many people have been prepared to go OUT of their way for absolutely nothing (but maybe a big hug from me and Reuben at the end).

The night could not go on without the music. So once again thank you!

Anyway, so far we have definetly playing:
The Fen Tigers (A band from waaaay down south!! Barnstaple, Devon... The band consists of Joe Hatt, Tom Ling, Tony Williamson, and Sam Tabberner)Are they successful? Yes! Only last years winners of battle of the bands. First caught my eye after they played an outstanding set to the vast crowds at the popular university ball. Very much looking forward to these guys, they project massive amounts of energy on the stage!

Computerclub To be honest I got a little over excited to have these guys on board. I love them. NME loved them.... What more can I say!?
They have been compared to the Editors and interpol.. Although I dont think this comparison does their unique sound justice. They've just released the album 'Before the walls came down' and it was rated 7/10 in NME. Not bad boys... Cheltenham awaits your presence!

Free Range A three piece funk rock band from the local area. Brilliant.
... Its funky, and the guys seem like they're going to be good fun. After watching their videos I knew immediately that these guys could entertain a crowd...

Velkrobomb I cant quite put my finger on what genre of music these guys play.. Its face paced, and has influences of metal, indie rock, grunge and punk. Fun and catchy vocals, a dancable beat and yea... they're pretty funking awesome. And definetly unique.

Cleary Indie 'A mix of edgy razor sharpe guitar with original pop melodies and modern narrative lyrics.' A band local to Cheltenham... Although they have not been afraid to spread their wings. As headliners at the popular Essex festival 'MUNTFEST'. The boys rocked the stage.... Im sure they'll be rocking ours!!
