About Me

Vacant Reference formed in September 2006. We are heavily influenced by old school grunge/punk bands e.g. Nirvana, Greenday and The Ramones etc. Until early this year, we spent our time writing and practising songs for our first set. After beginning to look for a drummer, we were introduced to Aaron by Dynamo drummer, Joni. We have officially been together as a 3-piece since Feb 2007. Our set so far consists of 6 of our own songs, and two covers. We are continually working on new material and practising as much as possible. We are currently arranging more gigs.
We are also on BEBO, www.Vacant-Reference.bebo.com
Ruth -
Songwriter/Guitarist/Singer.
I am a Christian. I have been playing guitar and writing songs for around 7 years. Punk and grunge music, in particular Green Day and Nirvana are massively influential to me. Their music has helped me get through a lot of things. My favourite guitarists/singers are Billie Joe Armstrong, Kurt Cobain and Brody Dalle.
Suzi -
Bassist/part-time songwriter
I am originally a guitarist and have been playing since I was 13years old. I was heavily influenced by bands like Guns n Roses, Nirvana, Iron Maiden and AC/DC when learning to play guitar. Hendrix and Slash (being my idols at the time) are who pushed me to be a better lead player, so I learnt a lot of scales which helped me imrovise a lot of music. I met Ruth at Bangor High School and discovered we both had the same interests. I left school at 16 to study music technology, and a year after leaving, Ruth contacted me about making a band. She needed a bassist, so I offered, and here I am now! =D I've been playing bass since 2003, but offically in Vacant Reference from early 2006. Influences (bass): Stone Temple Pilots, RHCP, Nirvana, Velvet Revolver
