The Venkman Heist - GIGS WANTED!!!!!

About Me

The Venkman Heist are:
Kirk Yeomans - Vocals/Bass
Tom McGinley - Guitar/Vocals
Tom Shillito - Drums
The previous line-up had been together for only a few months, but featured in several pod cast transmissions and were already starting to cause a stir on the Sheffield Music Scene, supporting bands likes The Dodgems and Switches.
With that as a springboard, the new line-up is set for bigger and better things and have recently supported Stone Gods (Ex-Darkness) at Corporation with their new EP due for release very soon!!
The Full Biogarphy can be found in one of our Blogs.
Below is a video of us at a recent charity night doing a cover of "Suspicous Minds" for UNICEF which helped raise over a thousand pounds.
For the sake of 'Band/Fan relations' we used to message everyone for accepting our add requests, but it's starting to get hard keeping track of new 'friends'. However, if you message us we'll always reply!
Finally, please visit: www.myspace.com/wegotogigsin and join the appropriate group, to help fellow gig goers and bands, alike.

For just 79p you canWe also have free tracks there too. If thats not a bargin I dont know what the is!?.........
Influences: U2, Foo Fighters, The Who, Chilli Peppers, Reef, Pearl Jam, Janes Addiction, Audioslave, The Stones, The Beatles, Stefan Dennis and the theme from Transformers.
Sounds Like: Metalville.co.uk: Feb 2008 - "...one of the best trios I have seen...very strong songs held together with a tight structured performance...each member of the group being rather gifted at their chosen instrument.

They have a unique fresh balance of rock, metal and even funk in their music, gripping vocals, grooving bass-playing and solid and extremely enjoyable drumwork...Easily the best band on the bill by far and the most interesting musically. Expect big things!"

(Bear in mind that the Stone Gods (ex-Darkness) also played on the same bill!!)

The Harley Press release Dec 2007 - "The Venkman Heist, are about to hit you in the bollocks, strong riffs, nearing rock greatness. Keep an eye out!"

Sandman: Jul 2007 - "...they powered their way through the crowd...with a heavy set littered with Biffy Clyro-esque dirty riffs to wake everyone up..."

The PLUG: Press Release Jan 2007 - "Big powerful guitars are at the heart of this noisy rock band. Do not miss them!!"

CHECK OUR BLOGS FOR OUR REVIEWS!!

Predictably hard to define, recent claims suggest they sound like the Foo Fighters having sex with Reef in a dodgy motel room whilst U2 listen in with an empty pint of Guinness...Soaring guitar riffs and pounding drums, coupled with classic British melodies.......................But what do you think?The Heist in the Studio
