Hi
I am a singer songwriter based in Newmarket but with a band in Norwich. We originally formed in 2003, separated in 2008 and reformed in 2012 where we are currently preparing and rehearsing new material with a view to recording and gigging again soon. We are an originals band and can only really be described as mainstream indie. Coldplay, U2, REM, Muse, Radiohead, Elbow, Arcade Fire and Doves are a small handful of our influences and should give you some idea.
We are all in our mid thirties and I think realistically we would look at anyone aged between 25 - 40 or thereabouts, although attitude, personality, creativity, songwriting ability and a past experience of being in a working orginals band are by far more important considerations for us.
This is a link to our old myspace site. I think Jack Cracked the Safe is the ony song on the site that properly represents our quality as a band and the level of songwriting we got to and the only one of the songs listed that we would still play live so have a listen and see what you think.

The Band currently consists of myself (vocals/ rhythm guitar) drummer and a lead/rhythm guitarist. We all contribute to the creative process and are democratic in our approach when it comes to writing and arranging songs. We are currently playing along to pre-recorded bass and synth tracks but want to expand to a five piece with a keyboard player and bassist.
No gigs as yet as we are still preparing material but we expect to be gigging in 2013, hopefully by spring/summer.
Long term objective is to become the best band we possibly can, and make people love us. We can currently only practice at weekends, but depending on personnel requirements this can be reviewed.
Thanks for reading and if this sounds like you we look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers
Matt
