   About Caimbo

Caimbo's new songs -THE BOMB - DISCO REVOLUTION - MOTION OF MY MELODY - will be up for download in full on iTunes soon

Interview with Paul Elliott - Q Magazine

Caimbo have recorded a number of tracks towards their debut album with young emerging producer Ben Mason (Arctic Monkeys, Razorlight, The Kooks), and spent time out in LA with Tim Palmer (U2, Pearl Jam, Robert Plant) mixing early album tracks. Caimbo are currently recording new tracks with rock producer Simon Efemey (The Wildhearts, Pantera and Orson). The album tentatively entitled ‘Electric Dreams’ is scheduled for Summer ‘09 Kerrang!/Scuzz TV Producer Sarah Harding comments “…. This year’s Download success story – they rocked”. Classic Rock’s Jerry Ewing states that “Caimbo have that bright breezy and energetic sound the combines honest hard rock with the Stadium pretensions of U2’s louder moments” XFM describe Caimbo as as “R.O.C.K. in that old-school, big-hair, strutting and sweating way – a combination of cracking tunes, good looks, youth, and that inherent thing that makes some bands just spark and fizz on stage.” Time Out predicts that Caimbo “could follow Razorlight into the charts. “Whilst Q who featured Caimbo’s ‘Something In The Way in their 50 Essential Tracks To Download May ’08, states simply: “Hair Rock returns!”

Caimbo’s influences range from The Strokes and Kings Of Leon to The Rolling Stones, U2, Bon Jovi and The Police. “Our music is all about energy and vibe,” says 21 year-old frontman Leo Robarts, who formed the band in 2001 with three schoolmates: Piers Mortimer (guitar), Ali Sloane (bass) and Dave Cullin (drums). “We love playing live,” says Piers, “so to perform over summer at festivals, play at Download and have Don Airey from Deep Purple come and play with us on stage before our first single is out is a fucking a good effort!“

Heart & Soul. The song was recorded in Spring 2008 at Ray Davies’ London studio Konk, where The Kooks recorded their album of the same name. “We just knocked it out,” says Piers, “and it turned into this epic rock song. It really sums up what this band is all about: it Rocks, it’s got catchy lyrics, great drumming, groovy bass… and of course a classic Piers’ guitar solo!”

Caimbo are naming the album Electric Dreams because, as Piers explains, “It captures the energy of our music.” And as for the name of the band itself: it’s Leo’s slang for the city of Cambridge, close to where the band grew up. “Caimbo is a made-up word,” he says, “so therefore it has no obvious meaning, and people won’t have any preconceived ideas about the band. The name’s like a good tune, once you’ve heard it, it’s stuck in your brain.

Paul Elliott - Q Magazine

CAIMBO – PRESS QUOTES

"CAIMBO: A bright breezy and energetic sound that combines honest hard rock with the stadium pretensions of U2's louder moments..."
Jerry Ewing, Classic Rock/Total Rock

"CAIMBO They are R.O.C.K. in that old school, big hair, strutting and sweating way. The combination of cracking tunes, good looks, youth and that inherent thing that makes some bands just spark and fizz onstage. They played like it was Wembley and there were 90,000 fans singing all the words. It's just a matter of time!"
Marsha Shandur, XFM Radio

"Young Cambridge rockers CAIMBO who sound incredibly accomplished for their tender years and should follow Razorlight into the charts..."
Time Out

"MONSTERS OF ROCK! Meet CAIMBO our favourite new band..."
F*@K MAGAZINE

"Our cover stars CAIMBO, screams "Stadium Rock Band" and we're certain it won't be too long before you see these boys playing some of the biggest venues around the globe..."
Music-Zine

"Hair Rock Returns! This largely teenage quartet from Cambridge come on like McFly tackling the Guns N’ Roses songbook..''
Paul Rees, Q Magazine

''Not only do they look great they sound great!''
''It's about time we had a band like this in the UK''
''This year's Download success story - they rocked''
Scuzz TV, Kerrang TV

"...Classic sounding arena rock"

Hello there!!!

Hows it going these days?

I hope all is well and good and I just wanted to let you know I've just put up a new track called ECHO so I thought you might want to have a listen. :o)
It's just the instrumental version I did not long ago but I do have a full section of vocal to arrange into this track so I'll keep you posted on the outcome! :o)

I appreciate your time and support and any comments posted.

All the very best, take care.

The Colour Crowd





May 30 2009 11:44 AM

hey guys. it's jonnie from TCC. used to be in project1-5-1 and remember supporting you a few times. we split up since then with the idea that we would develop and mature as musicians and hopefully the colour crowd means we have achieved some of the goals set. would be so helpfull if you could give some of the songs a listen and maybe a bit of feedback. we know it's a bit bass-lacking right now but we are looking.

loving the new stuff by the way it's really great. my favourite is still blood through my veins i reckon it is beast. well done guys.

Alan here.

Packing me boots, stringing me guitars and getting ready for the next two weeks. Don't be frightened to shout out any songs off the album you want to hear and don't forget the crazier you are the crazier we are.

Look forward to seeing you in the asylum at the end of the tour.
