Eightball

About Me

Hamilton based Eightball were formed in 2005 by Paul, Andy and Richy. The band had many drummers however none suited the bands unique style of music. In 2007 when Andy began a music course at college he met drummer Tony McCauley. After introducing Tony to the rest of the band and after a few jam session it was obvious Tony was ideal for the role as drummer. Eightball was finally complete.Fully united Eightball began writing together as a band as well as practicing the material that was already written. Working together the band produced a collection of diverse material. Songs such as Phone the Booth and Devil in Disguise really showcase their funk style. Whereas songs like Change, Psychedelia and Foothills display a more rock vibe. Not out of touch with their sensitive side Eightball also created beautiful ballads like Blissfully Unaware. With a set of great songs the band was ready to display their talents through live performaces.Their first gig at Ivory Blacks in Glasgow in February 8th 2008 was a roaring success and they became the talk of the Glasgow music scene. The success of the first gig lead to many more appearances and Eightball is now a regular on the gig circuit in Glasgow building a loyal fan base and critical acclaim. Promotion company Original Fires describe Eightball as “dense psychedelic funk, they manage to maintain your curiosity throughout their eclectic set”. One of our fans commented online:this is so sweet “funky rock”!!Myspace Layouts
