About Me

Rock/Funk/Indie, or "Runkie" band from Penrith in Cumbria. Formed some time ago, but only recently have we started to take things a little more seriously - we've played loads of gigs all around Cumbria and have also spread our wings as far as Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool, including a gig at The Cavern club. We have supported the likes of Kubichek, Kieretsu, Gringo Starr, Digitalis, Lunaloop and Misty's Big Adventure. We've also played a few festivals including 9 Standards, Summer Fiesta and Kendal Calling, where we supported Dirty Pretty Things, Seven Seals and Grooverider. We recorded a demo very recently, the tracks from which can be listened to here, in fact you're probably listening to one of them now! Mental! We want to record more songs to make more people smile with more mouths with more enthusiasm so for this we need more money so we need to do lots more gigs which means more work, more creative lovemaking but most of all more eventual happiness for you i.e. the listener...

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 12/02/2006
Band Website: Email mbdband@hotmail.co.uk
Band Members: Richard Metcalfe - Main Vocals
Tim Shaw - Guitar, Vocals
Tim McVicar - Bass, Vocals
Mark Park - Drums, Vocals, Circus Skills
Ben "Smokey P" Parkinson - Percussion / Electronics
Influences: Basically, whenever you hear a song, there is something in it, an unseen chemical called Pherosathamine which enters your brain through your ears, or aurally. This chemical stays in your brain forever and becomes what we call our "memory". This "memory" is added to everytime we hear a new song, so our influences are really taken from everything we have ever heard.
Sounds Like: See above; the same chemical theory applies.
Record Label: Do noo have a label. Do not have a label, no.
