The Captains Of Industry

About Me

The Captains Of Industry. A space rock band. Formed in the depths of winter in 2005 and composed of two postmen, a process controller and a truck driver. They specialise in fine grooves and kick ass rock, with lots of little left turns and swirling soundscapes, backed up by impassioned vox. Guitar solos are de riguer as they feel they add a lot to a song. They are currently recording songs and are playing live around Manchester, so bring your women and your money and they'll try to relieve you of both! Space rock baby!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 16/03/2006
Band Website: www.bluepear.co.uk
Band Members: Fix Barber sings, plays keyboards and provides a sane outlook.Gram plays lead guitar, sings and is our rock God.Toxic (or Tony The Toxic Marmite Avenger as he likes to be called, but not by his mother!) is the bassist. He sings too and cavorts.Hotrod The rhythm guitarist, backing singer and shaven headed sex God. (In his own mind, anyway.)Nurse Aftershock. Drums and an entirely made up character.
Influences: Loads!! There's Dylan, The Berzerker, The Sisters Of Mercy, Hawkwind, Nine Inch Nails, Roxy Music, Kraftwerk. The thing is we don't sound like any of them.... our influences are what inspired us to pick up instruments in the first place. There's other ones of course like nights out in Manchester with no money, classic rock guitars, cheap German porn, absinthe, beer, freezing yer tits off in the rehersal room, old camper vans, setting Scousers on fire by accident, getting dumped, getting laid.... that sorta stuff.
Sounds Like: I suppose it's a bit like Monster Magnet meets Danielle Dax meets The Sisters Of Mercy, and they all go and beat the crap out of Hawkwind! Eclectic, yet strangely alluring, but ALWAYS loud and proud!
Record Label: We'd like one to offer us money!

Hurrah for the Captains and their ability to alienate an audience within 20 seconds....
