Well
where do we start?
Formed
around late 2002, early 2003 the early stages for Falling Red were
initiated. Andrew and Shane formed the band and along the way met
up with Rob and Dave.
But
lets look at the journey ...
Andrew
started off in a band called Waste of Space, playing around the
towns in Cumbria. When they needed another guitarist Andrew mentioned
Shane to the band. Andrew recalls Shane playing in a band called
The Colony. He was impressed with his live energy on stage and presence.
Eventually
Andrew and Shane decided to form another band with a different direction
to Waste of Space where they could come up with and write anything
they fancied without it having to be stuck to a particular style
or genre.
Andrew
and Shane continued to play around Cumbria and Manchester with various
drummers and friends filling out on bass duties, until they met
Rob Stack.
Finally
they were finding fellow musicians with a desire like themselves
to play rock music like it should, Loud and Fast!!!
Rob joined the band in 2004 bringing with him a fluid rhythm on
bass and a stability the band needed.
He
has helped enormously with constructing and writing the bands exciting
new material.
Rob
was mates with Shane from school and knew him from the band he was
in at the time called Acid Monkey, from which Andrew had seen him
live. Having also supported Waste of Space at gigs, Rob would turn
up at practices and listen to what we played! We heard he was keen
on joining the band so we asked him!!!
We
continued playing in venues across the country, rocking all, when
we came to find ourselves needing a new drummer.
Dave
sanders joined the band in early 2005, where soon after joining
our music sounded more powerful and the influence Dave's drumming
had on Andrew, Shane and Rob took the bands music to greater heights.
Andrew
knows Dave through his friend Damien who works with Dave!
They
had met a couple of times at gigs and nights out and after talking
realised they both had very similar tastes in music and their musical
aims.
Dave
came to band practice and jammed with the band, instantly something
was there and all four members realised the next level had been
reached.
Dave
had played in many previous bands including Koyahoga and the styles
of music he played varied too.
Influences
are too wide to detail, but if you like it Heavy, Rocking and Fast,
then we are the band for you!! We like nothing more than playing
our asses off and wreaking and leaving them to wonder what hit 'em!!!
So
come and see us and decide for yourselves!!!
Going
for about a year, playing lots, all original songs.
