Finest Little Space

This profile was edited with Thomas' Myspace Editor V3.2b
Finest Little Space are a Bath-based 4-piece with an inventive rock sound akin to many of the great British bands of the last 10 years. From beautiful, twisted ballads to dirty indie-rock, they create a diverse atmosphere that is both lyrically appealing and at times dark and wrong. Formed in May 2003, they have become well-known around Bath and steadily further afield, widely acclaimed as one of the best bands at what they do. The band was born when Jon Gibson and Neil Gay, two young singer songwriters who attended open mic nights around the city of Bath, one day decided to form a band. They tried out several bass players before Jon remembered that his sister played, probably better than anyone else he'd ever met. So he spoke to her on the phone while she was travelling South America and she agreed that when she got home it would be worth a go. In that kind of half-hearted on the surface (but secretly excited) Gibson spirit. With the more recent acquisition of Matt Bateman on drums, along with the steady musical and Scottish support of friend Andy MacGregor, Finest Little Space are a tight unit of talented musicians with a common goal - to play capricious Brit-rock for the hard to please, without being wankers. It is a mixture of self-criticism and resolved belief that has made them a real force to be reckoned with, and 2006 might just be their year.
