SHOW REVIEWS:
NEWCASTLE LEGENDS ON TOUR WITH THE GLITTERATI - OCTOBER 18TH 2006:
" Next up were My 21 Grams who were a totally different kind of band, who obviously had worked both on their image and sound.The band delivered a much heavier sound than that of El Bistro, with newest member frontman Alex, I feel is the reason behind this heavy sound, as his vocals lend themselves so much to that genre.With stand out tracks of the short but effective set being the up tempo ‘Alkaline’, the bands last single, “Little Piece of Me’, and the excellent ‘Blackout’. This band definitely have what it takes to go to the next level and are a band who I will definitely be looking out for in the future" Mayfair Mallzine
TUNBRIDGE WELLS FORUM SUPPPORTING THE GLITTERATI - OCTOBER 7TH 2005: " The night was opened by the up front, in your face 5 piece My 21 Grams. The band had punchy vocals, with a raw tinge to that pierced through the instruments. The vocals had a resemblance to that of Audioslave or Soundgarden. The vocals have much improved since their earlier performances at The Forum when they were criticised for shouting. The guitars made a strong blend of rock and grunge riffs throughout the set. The drumming in the band was strong. This was nice to see as the drummer is the youngest member of the band, at the age of 18.
The band was very tight and performed perfectly with each other; they had good communication with the crowd throughout and looked comfortable on stage. The sound could be compared to that of the Glitterati, although a more punky style emerges.
The ½ hour set was very well received amongst the crowded forum floor. The band even impressed the crowd enough to start stage diving and moshing. I was very surprised with the band and I would say this is a band to look out for in the near future.

"My 21 Grams (guessing this is to do with the weight of your soul) formed only in the last 8 months were a very different style to Shards of Glass. However they showed a lot of promise. They could be compared to The Glitterati but with more of a punk edge. Fast paced rock with some great guitar riffs and awesome drumming." Bill

Alex (Lead Vocal, 22)

A versatile singer who can mine the depths of death metal or caress your soul into a state of angelic bliss. A great performer with an intense vocal range. You need to experience this man.

Blake (Rhythm guitar, 24)

Formed the band in early 2005. After writing and performing with various bands, he decided to embark on his own project involving past collaborators and new friends. My 21 Grams was born.His energy, enthusiasm and commitment drive the band. Versatile guitar playing and varied influences allow the music he creates to sound fresh, honest and accessible.

Craig (Lead guitar, 24)

Craig and Blake have been making sweet music since their school days. He's heavily involved in the technical side of guitar and experimentation. A massive riff monster who plays every solo like it's the last time he'll touch a guitar.Always a showman with exceptional skill, he raises the bar for most wannabe lead guitarists out there.

Gary (Bass guitar, vocals, 25)

The band all rounder. Able to play all types of styles of guitar and bass. Spent his formative years playing clubs and pubs. Then in his early 20s became a well known singer/songwriter on the London circuit.His love of old skool rock and roll mixed with a blues influence allows him to drift effortlessly from hardened punk to soft spoken wordsmith.

Jack (Drums & percussion, 19)

The mighty Jackers is the most relaxed member of the band. A maturing raw talent with awesome technical ability. He was snapped up by the band after they were blown away catching his first live London show. The rest is history.

Dear All, As you might know, I'm no longer part of My21Grams. The reasons aren't related to issues within the band at all, it was just the time for me to try a new path. The split was totally friendly...
