OVER THE SUN www.myspace.com/overthesunband
OverTheSun, Matt, Tom and Adam, have existed since March 2007. They write and perform only songs written by themselves and try and take a fun approach to it all. Having played gigs in all 3 of Britain's most important counties; Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex, and having recorded an EP with no professional help, the 3 merry men are looking to spread their word amongst the herd, and go further a field! OverTheSun want everyone to hear their music and dance like their dad.

SHORTWAVE FADE www.myspace.com/shortwavefade


Whereas many bands proclaim to have come storming from the underground, few can make this claim so literally.
The chemistry was cornered in the basement in Leicester where Ben Allen (guitar/samples) and Chris Holloway (vocals/guitar) used to meet to write and record songs. Joined by Rich Herrington (drums) and Rob Sheppard (bass) SHORTWAVE FADE have begun to trace an upward arc from these roots to a wider audience.
The first demo was met enthusiastically and the initial run sold out as the band set out playing venues all over the country supporting the likes of Keane and The Subways along the way.
Shortwave Fade have followed up their first downloadable single 'Anything to anyone' earlier this year, with three new tracks released through Oxford based label Shifty Disco. Poised at the point of discovery, one listen to Shortwave Fade will show you why... www.myspace.com/shortwavefade

THE DECCA AUDITION www.myspace.com/thedeccaaudition
When Decca Records refused ‘The Beatles’ a recording contract in 1962, they couldn’t have known that their fateful decision would forever be immortalised as the most catastrophic (and costly) A&R blunder in the history of Rock’n’Roll! They also wouldn’t have guessed that over 40 years later one of the UK’s most innovative and exciting new bands would emerge named after that very event.
‘The Decca Audition’ are a brand new band for 2008, but don’t let that fool you, because these lads have been around in various other guises for years and are more than competent with the tools of their trade, having cut their teeth in the dingiest of London clubs and even performed alongside ‘The Leveller’s’ on tour- and they’re still only in their early 20’s!
They have a truly original sound comprising of crashing indie guitars and screaming solos, all mixed together with samples and swirling FX. Utilising the kind of technology normally associated with hardcore ‘dance’ and ‘electronica’, they create a fresh and contemporary feel while managing to produce very competent and memorably crafted indie/rock songs, inspired by the likes of ‘Doves’, ' BRMC', ‘The Cooper Temple Clause’, ‘Oasis’ and ‘The Beatles’. Listen and discover ‘The Decca Audition’ for yourself. www.myspace.com/thedeccaaudition

My Interests

WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT THIS PLACE?

I'd like to meet:

Hi,
Thanks for visiting this myspace page. If you're in a band and you need a push in Colchester, I might be able to help you out.
NO TIME WASTING LOCAL HEROES NEED CONTACT ME. ONLY BANDS THAT HAVE THE DRIVE TO WANT TO MAKE THE BIG TIME ONE DAY & ARE WILLING TO PUT THE EFFORT IN!
Plus you must be able to play of course.
Billy Jason.

NOTE: I love metal but it's being catered for very well by other promoters locally. Therefore, I'll only be promoting other than metal gigs for the time being...unless of course your band name is very well known, then forget what I've just written and please get in touch!
