Tea Renepeky (Guitars and Vocals) first formed the band having met Harrison Lewis (Keyboards) in a Latvian brothel. (it is not yet clear if Harrison was there as a client or working there...well, AS A WOMAN!!!)
They then enlisted Neil Rickarby (Bass) and Mark Wilkin (Drums) who had already met at a knitting competition on the Circle Line.
Cocking a snoop at convention, the band like to push back the frontiers of western musical understanding, and eat scones.
Here's a review as it appeared in MUSICIAN, June '08
TUNEFUL RIFFOLOGY
Rosebud Choir, God Shaped Hole
The Cornish pop-rockers unleash a 13-track slab of guitar and drum hardware that's destined to blast its way straight between your ears. Rosebud Choir co-founders Tea Renepeky (vocals/guitar) and Harrison Lewis (keyboards) hooked up with Neil Rickarby (bass) and Mark Wilkin (drums), with the aim of securing a solid reputation for hard-edged yet tune-centred riffology. Home boasts excellent dynamics, shifting between scene-setting passages and raucous, Nirvana-like climaxes. That's What I Mean, meanwhile, uses chunky acoustics and feedback to fire up the tension and release factor. Intelligent and deceptively effective British rock fare.GOD SHAPED HOLE is now available on itunes.
