About Me


------------------------------------------------------------
After 7 long years together Limousine have now called it a day. We've had so much fun and feel we achieved many things. We've made tons of friends and had some great experiences so we just want to thank everybody who has ever been involved with us from day 1. From our first gig in posh St Annes to the mind blowing excitment of rocking the Viper Room in Los Angeles it's been a great ride.
John feels his time has come to move on and the rest of us respect his decision. We will be forming a new band as a 4 piece in the next few weeks so the rock hasn't completly stopped folks.
Again, thank you to everyone for supporting us, helping us, doing us favours, buying us drinks, putting us up, telling us we're ace, telling us we're shit, cheering, dancing, heckling!!! We've loved it all.
Farewell from Limo

Just at the bottom of the M55 you'll find the lonely little seaside resort known for it's kiss-me-quick hats, tower, and the hundreds of stags and hens who attract like magnetic seagulls to its hub of tacky pub's and clubs. Little known for it's live music scene Blackpool is starting to pull it's self out of an artistic mire due to the fast growing number of quality bands that are so often found it deprived run-down areas. one such band have pulled through to become one of the 'stand out' bands in the Fylde area.
A passion for good music and a love of the old grunge scene brought Limousine flying on-to the north west live scene back in 2002. After playing the local circut and building a fan base all over the north west, limo have now started to branch out even further. A self financed tour of the west coast of America, saw them playing such venue's as Los. Angeles infamous Viper Room, along side venues in San Diego and North Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
Closer to home limo have been stirring things up in Yorkshire, playing several times to a sell out crowd at "Fibbers Bar" known for helping the careers of now household names "The Arctic Monkies" and "the Kaiser Chiefs".
Fusing together a myriad of melodic guitars, heart wrenching vocals and pounding rhythms, Limousine have proved themselves to be one of the best unsigned acts to come out of the North West. Even with years of experience, limousine's sound stays fresh and creative bringing excitement and verve to the guitar based genre. Their live sets have become legendary thanks to their unprecedented stage presence. Influences aside Limousines music is 'Rock' not your 80's style tight ass jeans rock, is dirty distorted feedback riffed up and spat back out. Songs such as 'Asbo' and "bloody spiders' have had rave reviews in local press and other national based websites.
Anyway, enough of blowing the limo trumpet, here's what other people say:
"This is adult rock with a still-present youthful growl, suggesting they have won many fans, Limousine win plaudits for a show which kept emotion tempered and melodies sweet. Their sets contain a number of genuinely top-notch songs with a presence to die for; frontman and band united with professional charisma. As they demonstrated tonight, it is perfectly possible to inject heavier rock into melodic songs without muddying the waters. " Liam Pennington Lancashire Evening Post
