As I mentioned before, I was fully intending on staying in a band with James and G. And so, after much searching, we ended up with a bass player and a drummer so we could form a band again and rock people's socks. Only having had a few practices so far, we are already sounding pretty good and also already have our first gig booked in Reading.
Allow me to introduce first of all, Pearce (right):
Pearce has been in a bunch of bands before and has a great knowledge of the good places to play in Reading. His list of contacts seems endless and he was a massive help in finding us a place to practice and organising the first gig. Oh yeah, and he plays bass pretty awesome too.
Our new drummer is James 'Smithy' Smith.
Hailing from Slough, he shows the commitment of driving in to practice each time. He brings a whole new sound to the band and is an all round cool guy and enthusiastic player!
As for the name, 'Beat Magnets'... well there was a large debate as to what to call the band. We had to choose something that we all like and eventually settled on it. It is pretty catchy and sounds nice and bandy. So to round this post off, here is us, practicing the RATP favourite, (which we are carrying into the new band) STOMP!
So watch out Reading... here we come!
