   About BEECAKE
Based in Glasgow, Scottish band Beecake are Billy Boyd (Vocals, Guitar), John Crawford (Drums, Vocals), Billy Johnston (Guitar, Piano, Vocals) and Rick Martin (Bass, Vocals) they have all been long-term friends and played individually and together in various bands over the past several years. Beecake was formed in late September 2006 over a bottle of malt whisky in a Glasgow bar when the guys remembered how much they loved making music together. After selling out their first gig as Beecake at Barfly, Glasgow in January 2007 and having fans travel to see them from as far a field as Japan, Germany, Italy, and the USA, they decided it was a good time to record the music they were making. In total five tracks were recorded which would later be released as their EP “Just B”. Since that time they have played many successful shows all over the UK, Europe and to the USA. Through these shows Beecake have gathered a very dedicated live audience and in the fall of 2008 Beecake won the Tartan Clef Best Live Band, at the Nordoff Robbins Music Awards. Beecake have hit the number one spot on the myspace unsigned charts within the UK several times and continue to regularly hold a position within the top 10 unsigned bands in the UK, in various genres, they also continue to hold a respectable position within the myspace worldwide-unsigned charts. Beecake have to date played live with such artists as The Fratelli's, Sharleen Spiteri, Sandi Thom, The Attic Lights, Big Country, BMX Bandits, Amy MacDonald and Eddie Reader. In the summer of 2008, Beecake entered the studio again to start work on their debut album. Now with the album "Soul Swimming" just finished, Beecake were very excited to be going back out on the road, trying out the new songs written for the album, and enjoyed the thrill of taking the sound they found for their debut studio album out to be experienced on the live stage this October during their East Coast tour of the States, dates included Arlington,Boston and two sold out shows in New York City.What will 2010 hold in store for Beecake... realeditorbest profile toolsrealeditorbest profile tools
