Squab - NEW TUNES UP NOW!!!

About Me

SQUAB EP DROPS IN NEXT FEW WEEKS - DATE SOON. PEASS squab consists of two acoustic guitars (generally at least one of these is borrowed) and 3 human mouths. all percussion is provided by human beatbox reeps one, live in one take, with throat, tongue, teeth, cheeks etc. reeps, steve and jak are also 1/2 of skunkrock band CLAYPIGEON. squab came into existance so that we could tour with our good friends neil sutherland and napoleon dynamite, but we kind of liked it, and squab will be seen out and about very soon once again.musically, its reggae, hiphop, folk, ska, rock, punk, whatever.generally its about meeting great people, sharing a little music, enjoying life and watching people's faces when harry drops his first beat.PLEASE JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP "I LIKE SQUAB" IF YOU WANT TO BE INFORMED ABOUT LIVE SHOWS, TOURS, RECORDINGS ETC. IT IS A GOOD WAY TO LET Y'ALL KNOW ABOUT THIS STUFF, IF YOU HAVE A FACEBOOK DISABILITY LIKE EVEYONE SEEMS TO NOWADAYS - BLOODY WORLD. we has recently done gigs with the king blues, chris murray, babar luck, neil sutherland, napoleon dynamite, the skints, pj & gaby and loads more wonderful bands and people and animals and walls. we smell better than we used to DONT TRUST US WHEN WE SAY WE'RE NANG - WHAT DO WE KNOW:
"Opening acts don’t usually receive so much as a batted eyelash at the Underworld but tonight Squab manages not only to flutter eyes but to demand the attention of everyone in attendance. And that includes the bouncers...a mixture of ska and folk delivered in an easygoing manner that allows at times for the beatbox to take centre stage but is never eclipsed by what some will dismiss as gimmick. It’s all highly enjoyable and well worth checking out." PUNKTASTIC
"This band is probably my favourite of the moment. An acoustic version of Claypigeon, with two acoustic guitars, lots of vocal harmonies, and beatboxer Reeps One, it’s soothing acoustic ska-hiphop. What’s more they seem to have toins of fun onstage, and you can tell there’s a lot of improvisation or times when they’re not quite sure what’s going to happen." LAST HOURSif you want us to play your show or house party or anything just drop us a message - we'd love to. we are very polite and easy going and not even vegan or nothing.MUSIC and VIDEOS are on the way. we are working it all out right now. xx
