Formed in a ramshackle building at the side of a railway track a few years ago. A young man enters an audition lyrics at the ready, a then heavy drinking piano player raises his weary eyes on hearing the tones, calls him by several names and plays the rest of the audition in quiet contemplation. On completion and acceptance of the job, the offer of a lift is accepted. The two musicians are now alone and music and songs are discussed. The older of the two a prolific songwriter offers to make him a Rockstar.
A week or so passes and contact is minimal, a few rehearsals playing cover versions takes place which turns into a 15 month touring stint culminating in playing to over a thousand unsuspecting people in one show.
All the while an underlying calling is pulling the young talented spiritual guitarist towards his roots; original music. The band splinters leaving just four members, three kindred spirits and a singer.
After a few strained but encouraging months something begins to take shape
CRAINE...

You know were the crew were stood to the left of the stage? me and my mate stood there we had a clear side on view and it sounded great. Everyone seemed to have fun in the crowd (But for a minute with how some of the crowd were dressed i thought youd turned in to a punk band hahaha)and you guys seemed to have a top time so it was a good night all round
Fantastic gig on Friday night guys, such a great (and huge) crowd, the academy was really buzzing. Every gig just gets better than the previous, and Han and I were so pleased we could be there to be a part of it, especially at the bash afterwards getting to meet your family and friends, we were made to feel very welcome. (That cake was FAB!)
I've got everything crossed for the CD release on Mon, and here's hoping for a chart position for next week! (just gonna order a few more copies now...!!) XX
