More about The Steeples...

Where are you from?

Ormskirk

Who plays what?

Andy Culshaw vocals/guitar
Dan Rankin Guitar
Alex Caskie Drums
Chris Hutchinson Bass

Got any bad habits?

Plenty, Hutchy and Alex have all the cliche ones like stinking of touring and Andy and Dan enjoy tea, reading and strolls on the beach on a summers eve.

What's the band's history so far?

The Steeples recently recorded their debut album and the first single from it, 'Britney's Tears', is due out in March 2008. Having been hard at work touring the country the Steeples fanbase is expanding and their MySpace is being bombarded with messages. The lads are currently touring and are probably at a city near you!

Style and influences?

Indie/Rock - The Kinks, T-Rex, The Fratellis, The View, The Kooks, OCS amongst other less obvious influences such as GnR, The Bluetones, Crowded House

Best moment so far?

Andy: The reaction we get when we travel up to Scotland is amazing. It gets better every time. Last time in Glasgow we needed security to calm the stage invasions!

Worst/most embarrassing moment so far?

Danny: The worst thing so far is when the van broke down on route to Norwich and we had to cancel a gig. It took us 9 hours to get home via 3 different tow trucks because none of them would take us all the way!

What's your favourite song? Or which song do you wish you'd written?

Andy: My favourite song is 'Estranged' by Guns n Roses
Danny: Mine's 'Solomon bites the worm' by The Bluetones

Anything else we should all know about?

Andy use to be a postman and has a degree in History and Politics and is very opinionated! He's also related to Vikings.

Alex is of St Lucian descendancy

Hutchy is the most scouse out of us but he's from the Wirral so we're only 'nearly' a Liverpool band.

Danny drinks on average 12 cups of tea a day and unbearable amounts of biscuits. He's also a social recluse.
