*Special Guests* exploded onto
the local music scene in January 2003 with their outrageous Punk
performance. Their manic entertaining and energetic live set leaves
their audiences mesmerised!
*SG*
combine the talents of CHARLIE with his essential and
infectious vocals, dual lead guitarists ED and KUN with their high
synchronicity, the furious drumming of STEVE tightly knitted with
LUKE on his pounding bass.
*SG*
produced their first CD "Give it
up for the Other Band" in April 2003. This was especially well
received by a panel of renowned musical heavyweights from London -
Ian Johnson (promoter and buyer for Virgin for 14 years), Samuel
(producer/artist signed to Peter Tongs FFRR label) and Luke Hannam
(bassist on Trevor Jackson's playgroup album).
In August 2003, after
appearing at the 20th Rock and Blues festival in Ripley, Derbyshire,
the wild stage antics and manic music of * SG*
caught the eyes and ears of a Granada TV crew and led to their
first TV performance being aired on the "Men and Motors" channel.
Great local sales of
their first CD enabled them to return to the studio within six
months to independently produce and record their second CD, "Chalk
and Cheese".
In May 2004 *
SG * began their association with their new
sponsors, Urban Ramps - a skate park manufacturer and entertainment
company. This led to their first London gig at the Electric Ballroom
in Camden - set up by Urban Ramps, Rude Boy records and Neville
Staple (of The Specials and Fun Boy Three fame). Other artists on
the bill were Neville Staple, Stateside Hombres, Rolan Bolan and
Ictus.
The summer continued
with live performances at skate parks and extreme sports festivals.
Local promoters chose *
SG * to play with some of their favourite
signed talent from Household Name records including Adequate Seven,
Captain Everything, Howards Alias as well as others No Comply and
Phinius Gage and Uncle Brian at the Charlotte in Leicester and other
venues.
In October 2004
*Special Guests* hit the Rooftops of London, Filming their
debut music video to "Just Another Slut" with Simone De Rosa. The
Video has just been brought to public attention and is hoped to aid
*SG* in their attempt to whip the world up in to a
frenzy. |
