Hello. Febria is a harmonious rock n' roll sextet, washed up from the green banks of the Usk. Please do have a listen to our songs and let us know your thoughts. Also, if you enjoy stories, ours is as followed..
"Febria started playing together in their final year of secondary school as a four-piece, first performing soppy ballads at their sixth form summer ball, under the joke name ‘It’s A lot like Belgium’. After hiding away for a few months writing their own material, the band re-emerged at a local outdoor music festival in the town of Abergavenny. This time hamming it up under the name ‘The Mona Lisa Overdrive’ they delivered an impromptu performance to a large sunshine-seeking crowd. The material proved to be quite a hit, and fuelled the four of them to up the musical ante.
In the autumn of the following year, while working around university schedules, the band, now operating as ‘Febria’, made a number of demo recordings at White Oak Studios in Crickhowell, before, many months later, finally recording their first EP at Blossom Studios in the summer of 2005. Recording proved very successful indeed, prompting foolhardy critics and febriites on the fringes to say it was the best material they had heard from the band yet.
After a year of more strumming, writing and gigging, Febria returned to Blossom Studios in the summer of ’06 to record a new set of songs. Along the way, fifth member Michael was thrown into the mix, greatly improving the overall dynamic and live experience. Following this, gigs abounded, most notably in Newport’s Le Pub, where the band have pulled some of their biggest crowds and delivered some of their finest performances.
In October '07, following a successful tour which saw them gallavanting up and down the country, Febria performed their first gig as a sixth piece, after enticing the multi-talented Adam to join their ranks. From here, the band are lined up to play new venues, under the auspices of a few friendly promoters, and also plan to record their first studio album in Ireland. Exciting times ahead indeed..
