SYKES.The scene:
2000 A.D. The year:
the school playground. 10 year-olds
Matthew Jebediah and
Sam Lea have just figured out they can scam people out of their money by selling tapes. Their first concept album,
"BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!!", has proved to be a huge hit with the ladies in the playground. Still, after a 5 to 6 year creative hiatus, the two happy chappies have found they've grown a lot
taller, have a bit of a
facial hair thing going on,
smell differently, and have amassed
three more friends between them, all of which have been forced into their latest musical mess,
SYKES.Formed in December 2006, Sykes began to play some of the most ambitious gigs they
could find:
school assemblies, old people's homes, methodist churches - no venue is too rock 'n' roll
for them. Over the Summer of 2007, bigger gigs came along, as the band headlined
Manchester
Academy 3,
the Roadhouse and played the Y-Not Festival, adding experienced gigger,
"Big Willy" Soutter to the outfit, to at least make it look like they knew what they were doing.Now, as each band member
travels the Earth (Beijing, France, Lancashire etc.) in the unlikely event that they'll find something else to do, summer 2008 looks set for
big things. 6-packs of Carlsberg aside, the new
"From The Carriage Window" EP sees the start of something new. Only one question remains: how far will Sykes be able to go? London? Los Angeles? Huddersfield?
