BADDIES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n This is the band biography for Baddies. I\u2019m sure you\u2019d like to hear all about the band\u2026 how they started, what they\u2019ve done, what people have said about them and what the band have said about themselves. That\u2019s okay. That we can do.<\/p>\n Cast your minds back to January 2007\u2026 where were you? What were you doing? Well, if you\u2019re name was Michael Webster (and let\u2019s face it, your name probably isn\u2019t that, but please\u2026 work with me okay) you were hatching a scheme, a fiendish plot, a devilish desire\u2026 to start DUN-DUN-DUUUUURRRGHHH\u2026 A BAND! Yes! A band with guitars and vocals and drums and bass. Holy mother of fucking shitballs! Mike had the guitar and vocals, so far so good\u2026 but where do you go from there? Well, if you were Mike you\u2019d go to see your twin brother who just so happens to be a fricking awesome drummer and ask him and guess what? He said yes. Brilliant. But that\u2019s not where the fantastic train stopped\u2026 no sirree bob, those Webster twins kept a right on rollin\u2019 and they picked up a Simon Bellamy and a Danny Rowton on guitar and bass respectively. So that was nice.<\/p>\n So there they were. One. Two. Three. Four. And they called themselves Baddies. Not The Baddies, just Baddies. Got it? Good.<\/p>\n After quickly writing a batch of songs, Baddies had discovered that not only were they: (a) pretty darn good thank you very much, but they had (b) discovered their sound. Yep that\u2019s right sound in italics. So what exactly is the sound of Baddies? Hmmm, right okay\u2026 well, imagine this\u2026 Talking Heads (Good) + Queens of The Stone Age (different, but also good) + being from Britain and all that entails (???) = the Baddies sound (its okay to say \u2018the\u2019 there I think?)<\/p>\n The band worked hard. They gigged. They recorded some tracks, \u201cTiffany, I\u2019m Sorry\u201d and \u201cBattleships\u201d and before long industry types heard them and got all hot and sexy at the very prospect of the band, and industry types love getting hot and sexy, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n Within months the band were in hot demand, everyone wanted a piece of that Baddies pie. ZOOM! They played Eurosonic in Holland. WHIZZ! They played London Calling in Holland, again! KABLAM! They played In The City in Manchester and shitting crikey they went down a storm! \u201cI love them\u201d said one guy, \u201cFuck me! That was good\u201d said another. Which was great y\u2019know, that\u2019s what Baddies wanted all along, the diabolical little tinkers.<\/p>\n So what would you do? You\u2019re in this band, everyone\u2019s spaffing in their pants because you\u2019re so damn good, where do you go next? You release a single right? Yeah, a single! On vinyl, limited to 500 copies and then you sell them all. Yeah sold out. Can\u2019t get it any more. Sorry. But that\u2019s not enough for Baddies, no no no. You make a video too right? Not a big expensive thing, just a little performance video. Film it, discretely put it out there\u2026 see what happens\u2026 get to number 1 on the MTV2 \/ Myspace chart with like zero promotion. That\u2019s what you do if you\u2019re Baddies anyway.<\/p>\n Now Baddies face the next phase, second single and then the debut album which Mike describes as \u201can insight into ‘the struggle’ of getting to where we are now\u201d. The album is their autobiography, a collection of songs that tell the tales of the everyday and then dumping them on their heads and laughing at them in a sort of You\u2019ve-been-Framed kind of way.<\/p>\n Just like all the best bands, Baddies are a gang\u2026 a group\u2026 a gaggle. They are united. They wear uniforms that say this is us, this is what we do, we are here to do a job. Do the job. “On a mission to make The Futureheads look lethargic”<\/em> – ARTROCKER with<\/p>\n SCIENCE BASTARD<\/strong><\/a> In their short career to date (3 gigs) they already supported Tubelord in Barfly and Future Of The Left in TJs.\u00a0 Catch them now before they either get famous purely accidentally or the two brothers have a massive row and tear each other apart.<\/p>\n EXIT INTERNATIONAL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Band biographies, not matter how Shakespearian in their efforts to accurately describe an artist’s ‘exciting’ and ‘unusual’ formation and the subsequent ‘sound’ the band have forged for themselves never seem to hit the nail on the head. The following facts about Exit_International are not a revelation in themselves. Formed between workmates Fudge (Ex-Martini Henry Rifles \/ Space in the 50\u2019s) and Scott (Ex-Midasuno) in Cardiff, September 2008 as a vehicle to become the local support for a Melvins show, (From which the band ironically were removed at the last minute) the band wanted to make a noise taking influence from a shared love of Girls Against Boys, Nirvana, The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, The Pixies\u2026Utilizing Two basses in the process – essentially forming the loudest \/ noisiest \u2018pop\u2019 band. Add drummer Adam, some filthy synth work and bring to the table a lyrical bent pushing the dirty sex \/ knee length socks fetish \/ ‘Chris Morris of Jam \/ Brass Eye fame’ humor angle. The band’s choice performances have been alongside The 80\u2019s Matchbox B-line Disaster, In Case Of Fire, and The King Blues to name a few…with not a guitar in sight. Having written 30+ songs in as many weeks together as a band, recordings so far haven’t started to touch on capturing the band’s sheer live intensity. On paper, a band like this shouldn’t work….. “It is a confusion of sound. It is stilified perfection. It is awesome on the ear, mad jumping, calm thinking, vice, venom, love, loss, love, hate, desire, memory, ambition, ambiguity; a wraparound of genious embodied in a rare 5 who will move you in their performance.” – Chris ‘Square’ Dare.<\/p>\n Location: doors 7.30pm \u00a35<\/p>\n \u00a34 adv tickets<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There’s loads of reasons to come to this gig, I’ll name 3: A)\u00a0 The venue is called Koko Gorrilaz.\u00a0 When will you next get a chance to watch a gig in a venue with this shit a name again?
