About Me

This is the story of the Harringtons: Before we were known as the Harringtons we were just 2 best friends who had a liking for kicking back and playing a few songs on the guitar. Shortly after we had written a couple of songs and we recorded them at a mates house in his studio. That was christmas 2006, now a year later we have expanded and grown in the womb of rock ’n’ roll itself. We have invested in a real life drummer, another guitarist who can virtually pull trousers off people standing up with a solo and a trumpet player whos into beebop and jazz-funk. Take relatively no notice of the acoustic stuff on here even though it is pure early gold as i like to call it. The live songs are from various gigs we've played and now the three newest songs are up after we've finally got the funds to record a 3-Track E.P. We play gigs, we party, we sleep. That's all it is with the Harringtons, the shows usually put smiles on peoples faces so get your bad selves down and do a bit of dancing to some men in suits; it won’t be as random as you think.Thank you for reading this; never type google into google, the internet in the whole world breaks... xxxhref="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmdvdG9teWN vZGVzLmNvbS8=" target="_blank"span gig="ya"

My Interests

Member Since: 11/29/2006
Band Website: your on it right now
Band Members: Ollie "Lady-boy" Slade: Vocals and keeping the rhythm on his guitar, grew up in dark alleys doing things he isn't proud of. in a word: embarassing...........................Chris "Porky" Parkinson: The now slim, sexy bassist and co-singer coming fresh outta your nearest text inbox. one for the ladies. In a word: chinny-chin-chin...............................Jonny "the fringe" Attenborough: guitar hero, more well-known for his smart dress and bad manners. In a word: you're all a bunch of cunts!................................Simon "the duffer/Nervous Wreck" Mensley: tickles the trumpet like a ladies face, he's got his own hot tub and D-cup pecktorals, as seen on muscle monthly or reading men's health in your nearest WHSmith. In a word: flexxxx..............................Arj "The Complainer" Phakey: drums and whinging, if you can't hear the drums pounding then it'll be him pounding (not in the sexy way either) away telling us what to do. In a word: Beer Anyone?...............................Kieron Xavier Devenney-Blockley: French poet, and pro-drinker, also not a band member. In a word: but but but butttt
