WE ARE THE ORIGINAL SLOW MOTION GETAWAY!!!
Ok, so heres how it all began, just to warn you though, it's not a very interesting story... Well, one fateful day in late August 2005 Mark and Kielty, for lack of anything better to do with their time, were hanging around outside Londis. Anyway, Mark was complaining about his old band (The Modern People) because the gig they were scheduled to play didn't suit him and Kielty was talking about playing guitar etc... Mark jokingly said "Hey, we should start up our own band!" Kielty agreed. Anyway, we had our first practise about a week later and it went surprisingly well so we thought we might as well keep the band going and see if we got anywhere... About two days after the first practice Mark quit his other band leaving them without a bassist three days before a gig! (Ooops!) He says he's sorry but we have our doubts... We were contemplating adding an electric violinist but that didn't happen. (Look further down the page to the comments section and you'll see somebody called Aine saying "you know I never wanted to be in your band" - thats her!...although she did do violin on an acoustic recording) Originally Mark was going to be the singer but one day Kielty had a go at it and he was really good so he's now the frontman!, We played our first gig at the Voodoo lounge and it went really well!! Check out the music (unfortunatley the recordings arent great) But at least leave a comment on the main page or on our amazing pics (thanks Hazel,Andrew and Jules!) Cheers!
