With only a guitar and alot of spare time on his hands, Cheviot Paul was etching the beginnings of a more magnificent force.
It was early 2006 when he penned the first songs.
Paul and Cheviot Scott began experimenting with the songs and decided to produce some rough recordings which included I know a place, Enjoy yourself, I wanna be a Cheviot Hood and the already legendary in its own right, Giro King.
It was around this time when Cheviot Blair first heard the songs. He began jamming with the lads in the summer and it was soon decided he would join the cause on Bass guitar.
A few weeks later the rehearsal rooms were booked. On the 1st rehearsal the band bonded immediately, suggesting something magical had just been forged.
The Cheviot Hoodship was born. With only two rehearsals under their belt the lads were booked to play Glasgow Barfly. The first gig went down a storm, promting eight further gigs in the Barfly and six gigs at Glasgows famous King Tuts Wah Wah Hut and glasgow's Club NME,Barrowlands 2,Greenside(fife),Nitespot(livingston),Independant Festival(blackburn),PJ's (dunfermline) Magnum (irvine) Metz Experience (Newcastle).
Cheviot Hoods have shaped their own style from a number of influences including but not limited to, The Las, Stone Roses, The Who and The sex pistols.
Already gathering an ever increasing local following after support slots with Amy Macdonald ,The Complete Stone Roses,Dogs, The Sonic Hearts,Clocks,Grace,Mr.kil,Dustins Bar Mitzvah,Bromheads Jacket and airplay on Xfm,Clyde 1,West fm,forth1,Radio borders,Tay fm,Moray forth radio, northsound 1. These lads are a force to be reckoned with.
The band are currently working on new material.
Check out the Cheviot Hoods and witness their, unique blend of pulsating drumbeats,driven by mesmerising vocals, dreamlike harmonies and rambling guitars. Prepare to be hooked.

I am absolutely dismayed as to the reasons behind the shutting of Capitol...
Myself and Mandy love working there & we have worked really hard to make sure that every band that comes to OUR venue is treated well & has the best possible sound.
We really do care about Capitol, we look after our kit and the venue to keep it in the best shape we can, putting in LOADS of extra UNPAID hours just to try and make it a cut above the rest of the crap out there in Glasgow, and i think everyone, ourselves, you guys the musicians & all of the great promoters have succeeded in building something rare & special, a venue that actually gives a shit!
I seriously hope G1 will see that this is something worth saving, not just for the sake of a couple of jobs, myself's and Mandy's - but for the sake of the whole Glasgow music scene. If you've ever played at Capitol, had a good time and been treated well, don't be lethargic if you're sitting there reading this - all it will take is two minutes to leave a comment on the Capitol myspace supporting the cause & hopefully we can swing it!
