So who the fcuk are this band?
Eastroad have been playing gigs around the U.K. for the past 6 years. There have been a couple of changes in the line-up during that time.
Originally from Lincolnshire the band decided to move south to the capital in the summer of 2006. The band members and their roadie Bart who is from Poland live in a house in South London.
They are the two brothers Rob and Will, who in the long-standing tradition of brothers in bands argue and fight. (Mostly with each other) Liam and Noel Gallagher, Ray and Dave Davies you get the picture. Ben who is also a D.J. also referees some of the brothers slanging matches.
Rob is the person that writes all of the Eastroad material and is the main voice of Eastroad, is studying for a masters degree
Will is Robs younger Brother; he plays bass and shares quite a lot of the vocals with Rob.
Resting actor, currently working for a Media/Publishing Company in West London
Ben is the man behind the drum kit, he also provides backing vocals on a number of the songs.
Has now finished studying at Drum Tech. Now works as a fitness instructor & Lifeguard.
Eastroad started life as a four piece band. Since mid 2006 the band have been gigging as a three piece outfit. It's working well so we are not going to change it yet.
Here is a email we recieved after we did The Pleasure Unit in London
Happy new year.
Thanks for coming to London. London needs to hear a refreshingly different
sound which was so evident in your music and in your manner of dressing. As
much I love babyshambles, the subways etc - they are all die hard rock n
rollers who sing energetic music and looked pretty similar. so it was good
to see a different type of act.
