Band MembersLIVE BAND: All songs written by Calder McLaughlin Nick Thornton plays second guitar at my live shows. We will have updated recordings available in the near future. Recordings currently available feature members of Replica.
InfluencesI am a lover of all music as long as its emotive and dynamic.. I have listened to everything from delicate songsmiths to metal to grunge and indie rock bands to drum n bass to breakbeat/electronica to hip hop to chillout and soundscapes to classical to jazz and funk and dubstyles.. It all paints its own special colour and perspective on the vast canvas of lifes' experiences and helps us make sense of all that is within it.
Sounds LikeMyself and arguably other people too but make your own comparisons please.

   About Calder
Calder has been an out and out singer-songwriter for about 3 years now, deciding to go it alone since moving to Leicester in late 2005. He has worked hard to establish himself locally as a well known artist and performer under many different guises. After too many false starts and too many "gigs to nothing" he has finally reverted to plan A and is taking time out to concentrate on putting together an album. This will feature himself on drums and looks to be the most relevant and honest piece of work to date. One of the most passionate and driven musicians you could meet, he sees this stage in his career as the most significant. Understanding the importance of having a proven fan base and a product to challenge those who shift huge units, he aims to seperate himself from the millions of "nearly made its" and "could've beens". The songs should speak for themselves. ALL UNSIGNED ARTISTS NEED IS THE REAL AND FORTH-COMING SUPPORT OF THOSE WHO ENJOY THEIR WORK."Outstanding voice and song-writing to match. A real 'tour-de-force' and one of the emerging artists to watch out for." (Darren Nockles, the Musician) "One of Leicester's hardest working performers. Calder belts out his powerful anthems with a voice that can move hair from several paces. Expect big, passionate songs that should have the Stereophonics and the like watching their backs for this young upstart." (Gaz Birtles: Beautiful South, Fun Lovin Criminals, Song Club) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yko9SxzfOKs

At the moment we're back home so won't be in the Donkey for a few weeks. Definitely be interested in playing in a covers band. They're always an awesome laugh. Have you got one on the go already? We only go home a couple of times a year but we're really flexible on sticking around for practices and gigs etc. Could give you a call about stuff if you'd want to talk about it before we get back from Easter? Definitely be up for sorting out an o'neills gig too.

How are you doing? I hope everything is well. Don't worry about the band - when the time is right and the stars are in alignment (and other such BS) we'll have a chance to see what happens. We didn't make it down last Sunday but hope to be there for the one this week. I'm still going to threaten you with bringing the bass down to accompany some of your songs (or, for that, read 'ruin' some of your songs) but it's taking me longer than I wished for to come up with anything I'm happy with and that will do your tracks justice. I think it might be 'musicians block' with not playing for a little while. Ah well, let's hope that passes!
Take care and I'll see you soon.

Bloody hell, you went through it tonight! God knows how you put up with it for as long as you did.
A true professional and I loved the snap point of "shut the fuck up, you're so fucking loud!".
See you soon.
