Get ready to GO

About Me

Wasted are a HARD WORKING rocking band WHO WRITE AND PLAY THEIR OWN MATERIAL and can include a few carefully chosen covers (DEPENDING ON THE VENUE) by the likes of Pink, REM, Katie Tunstall, Amy Winehouse, Green Day and on the country rock side Dixie Chicks. variety is the spice of life they say so we dare to be different in our song writing and with the covers we perform.YES we are a grown up band, have been around awhile and still gigging. We just LOVE TO PLAY and let the PEOPLE HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!!!The band has a wide repertoire predominately Rock and Americana which can have a country feel and really kick off when they play live. "Alternative and MAD Always!" Wasted entertain with variety within their set, keeping the interest going throughout their performance. 2007 we played Rock in the Priory Ware Festival and Rock at the Castle Festival Hertford.. We also have played for the Strange Place club(supporting Jukebox Vandals and headling too!) and for the Marquee in Hertford,The Corn Exchange Hertford as well as our usual gigs one of which is a Regular at the Jolly Bargeman in WARE and private gigs along the way, We have had great support from everyone and from these venues. This year we are playing for Trashville at the Cross Kings London and continue to write and record our own Stuff. Not yet succumbed into becoming purely a covers band as so many more mature bands do, WASTED carry on working hard to get out there and enjoy the experience.UNDER NO ILLUSIONS just taking it as it comes WASTED were the main support for the Legendary 60's band THE ANIMALS on Sat 16Th Feb 2008 when they played in Ware, Hertfordshire as part of there European tour. It was a great night and a privilege to play with the likes of Mick Gallagher also of the BLOCKHEADS, John Steel, Peter Barton and John Williamson. A GREAT NIGHT WAS HAD BY ALL. We have also supported Miles Hunt from, the Wonderstuff along with Divided opinions.New 12 track cd available.Everyone is welcome at a Wasted Gig. We're not afraid to be different are you?
