Wokajo

About Me


Wokajo started up in February 2006 with the aim of competing in the "Kings Head" battle of the bands. We spent a week learning a few tunes and entered the competition. To our absolute surprise we actually won. This was the foundation the band as we decided to stick together and see what happened in the future. We threw a cover set together and for the next few months we lived on a steady diet of gigs, large amounts of alchohol and of course, rock and roll (a bit clichéd we know!)................
But it wasn't long untill the novelty of cover gigs wore off. We made that all important original leap and since then, we discovered a new drive and chemistry within the band that has made people stop and listen.
Recently we've taken some major steps in trying to get ourselves out there. We've teamed up with LiveWebStars for a live streaming lifestyle.
Also we've spent more time in the studio trying to pull an album together and there is always a constant hunt for gigs. You can hear some of our material here on myspace but we've got a lot more on the sidelines just waiting to go.
Recently, we've had a change in line-up meaning Mike Peyton is no longer in the band (We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mike for all the work he put into Wokajo). However, the rest of us have decided to keep Wokajo alive so we want to welcome our new lead singer and long time friend Dave Fleming to the band. This should result in Wokajo being stronger than ever! In the mean time we're working away but dont expect to be gigging again till March '09. We'll keep ye updated on developments. One thing's for sure, you haven't heard the last from us.
Rock on,
Wokajo
