About Me

We're THE DRAKE EQUATION. The band started out by Craig and Ste has gone through various incarnations, tribulations and emancipations to get to the wonderous musical unit that you hear today. It all started in late 2004 (probably). Craig and Ste decided to collaborate in creating their own music and with the help of various drum samples, then drummers, almost Spinal Tap-like in their frequency, started to develop a sound. Then in 2006 Chloe joined the band, bringing a different beat in many ways and 3/4 of the final line-up was established. Two bass players then came in and out before Chris joined in late Feb 2007 completing the band line-up. We hope you'll like what you hear and see...If you would like to book the drake equation please contact us via our myspace profile or through our e-mail.For any positive or negative comments you may have for the band please contact us at [email protected] and we will see what we can do about it for you.
