The Southwest's CHASING FACES are, Adam Nickels (bass), Nathan Gregory (guitars), Simon Hodgkiss (drums) and Jonny Garrett (vocals/keys/guitar). Formed in a bizarre twist of fate at a university gig, realising that they all have the same drive to make some original and entertaining music. In one form or another have all been in active bands since school, now in their twenties and under the influence of bands ranging from Explosions In The Sky, Sigur Ros, Muse and Tears For Fears they look destined for big things.
Things are definitely looking good for the band, having been asked to support the likes of The Gossip, Alphabeat, Go Team, Hothouse Flowers, The Magic Numbers and New Zealand favourites The Checks. With a hectic schedule stunning the festival crowds and now with a mass of radio stations backing them all the way, it begs the question how long before they are snapped up by the major labels.
