The History of Electrobronze.
Having spent most of his formative years writing and recording his own electronic music ,musician and songwriter Gareth Scott moved to Derry City in the North West of Northern Ireland from his native Belfast in the late 1990's. There he met an experienced singer and seasoned veteran Tony McBride (originally from Leeds,Yorkshire,England) through their workplace on the Strand Road. Initially hooking up to do a live session for BBC Radio Foyle , they recruited Sinead Harkin , a local singer to accompany Tony on vocal duties.The trio recorded several demo sessions in the Blast Furnace recording studios before venturing out to play some live gigs as well as recording cover songs for the Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark tribute CD's series "We Love You". Involvement in this project led to Gareth being invited over to Liverpool to meet Martin Cooper from OMD and spend a day with a synthpop legend.The band have recorded over 50 songs and have been asked to contribute to the film soundtrack of the film "Higher Ground" that will be released internationally in late 2007In 2007 , Steve Bronski from British electropop trio Bronski Beat recorded remixes of the track "Flowers in the morning" for his remix website (www.myspace.com/remixcollective)Tony has performed live as a solo singer many times including an appearence on the BBC Northern Ireland programme "The John Daly Show" , and performs classic big band covers live as Tony Vegas with his one man show.Gareth earned excellant reviews from the judges at Future Music magazine in 2005 with his remixing talents , mixing Front 242s "Headhunter" , and remixes all the tracks on the sister myspace site (www.myspace.com/electrobronzeremix) as well as handling all the recording and songwriting duties.Sinead is currently missing in action...........we know she is living in Derry City somewhere, and it is a matter of time before we get her back into the recording studio in 2007 to do some more vocal harmonising to Mr McBrides warbling and Mr Scott's tinkling on the electro-ivories
