Urchin Child

Urchin Child formed in January 2006 where we started jamming and began to throw down some tunes. Over the year we did a few gigs and layed down 5 tracks in August. However due to differences in musical interests we had to part with 2 members, the bassist and a guitarist. We began 2007 on the lookout for new members, soon George's guitar teacher recommended an ice cold guitarist and through Doncaster Jazz Band we recruited our phsycadelic bassist. After more gigs and another studio session in the summer we had a new 16 track album on the go. With this in mind we kept up a consistent flow of gigs up and down the UK, stopping off at such prolific venues such as the Cavern and the Hallam FM arena. Now we have booked the studio again for the summer and are putting in the finishing touches to our 3rd EP. Keep your eyes open, we may be playing at a venue near you.
The 5 members are,
Joe- Child scarer, soap fearer, the frontman of Urchin Child. Joseph Adam Law. He has been described on numerous occasions as being "an erotic adventurer of the most deranged kind", and purveyer of the occult. This boy is an absolute mentalist on and off the stage, people have tried to describe his stage moves but the nearest comparison we could salvage was a grasshopper on speed. His curls ignite as he blasts out the songs of a thousand voices. His voice is unique and has been likened to Gandhi and Nelson Mandella having it off in a wrestling match.
George- The sexual lead guitarist and the one who provides the solo's that frankly make ya wanna jizz yer pants! With a, er... unique style of dress and sporting a vast array of dodgy hair cuts this dude's a proper showman with a wicked style of guitar that sounds like Slash and Gary Moore had a love child. George believes that he has been hewn from the right testicle of Jimi Hendrix and that there should always be an extra seat saved in the car for his ego!
Torryn- The mighty bass guitarist that is Torryn Smith! Having been quoted as "Having one hell of a mighty boosh!" and with the groovy on stage moves to match he is one formidable musical messiah. His funky lines lay at the heart of the Urchin Child sound which leaves a tingle in your toes and a rythm in your feet! Contrary to popular belief Torryn actually lived in the 70's but was cryogenically frozen for the good of mankind!
Sean- Next up we have Sean on rythm guitar who thickens up the Urchin Child mix with his frantic strumming! He provides a solid rockin rythm and on stage adds the cool, calmer edge to the group even though off stage he hs to be contained in a straight jacket. With his cute smile and his baby face Sean is one sexy ass dude and the main source of our female fans (and some boys too)!!
Chris- And last but by no means least we come to Chris on drums. The king of the crash, the ruler of the ride, the duke of drums and tickler of mens fantasies, Chris is the youngest member of the band but looks the oldest, work that one out!! He is an absolute freak on the skins and provides the band with our trademark quality beats, (whilst breaking around 3 pairs of sticks per practise in the process!) Some say that his hands are quicker than a greased weasel, others say that he has 11 testicles all we know is that he's the best drummer for his age in Doncaster and he is the legendary Chris!!
"Urchin Child are vibrant, unconventional blues infused rock 'n' rollers, their music is youthful and energetic... crowd pleasing to the eye and the ear. "
Keep a weathered eye to the horizon for a storm is brewing and you'd better be ready!
