   About Curzon Circle

WE RARELY PUT IN FRIENDS REQUESTS 'CAUSE IT PISSES EVERYONE OFF. IF WE'VE REQESTED YOU AS A FRIEND IT'S COS WE HONESTLY THINK YOU'LL LIKE US. OR IT'S COS WE THINK YOU'RE FIT. SO, ABOUT US...

It all started in 2004...

Neil was in a band called the Pheonix ,who were alright, but were definitely lacking a good-looking frontman with a voice to match his braun. Luckily, Neil knew such a man from school: enter Tom Folan!

With Tom's appearance the standard was raised and he and Neil soon realised The Pheonix' drummer just wasn't up to the job. They needed someone with funk in his blood. By good furtune Tom knew Rich from working at a local bar and buying drugs off him* and knew he played the drums so got him in on the act.

The standard was raised yet again but this highlighted a new weak link: bass.

The band needed someone who could do the job, and was on the level. The choice was obvious because Tom and John had been mates since they were knee high. They were at the same school with Neil, and Rich worked with him at the bar as well - it all made sense. It was fate.

The finishing touch was a new name for the new band and the inspired choice was Curzon Circle!

Gigging regularly around Birmingham and sometimes farther afield, we f*ckin love playing, and love the music we play. Come and see us. If you aint impressed we'll give you your money back...

(..Actually, this is a lie, we wont at all. Mainly because we know you'd be lying!)

*All references to drugs are fictional. We're just trying to sound rock 'n' roll.

Nerve Centre





Apr 27 2009 2:47 PM

Hello,

This Friday night at GateCrasher nightclub on Broad Street in Birmingham, Nerve Centre will be playing on the roof. This makes us the same as The Beatles and U2. The exact same! This will be a the first time that GateCrasher has had any live music.


Nerve Centre have previously supported John Power (Cast/The La's), sold out a headlining show at Birmingham's prestigious O2 Academy 3 (formerly Bar Academy), and have received praise from Ryan Wilson of The Pigeon Detectives.


Come along and get a free badge!

Love, peace, and rooftops,

Ronan,
Nerve Centre.

INCOMING!





Feb 26 2009 10:01 AM

Welcome to INCOMING!

A currently shite MySpace page for Midlands bands only.

The point is to use this page to advertise your gigs, wares and to keep in touch with other likeminded bands in the area without feeling like a complete arse for filling fan pages with junk mail. You know who you are!.

Promotions companies may also join so that if they're looking for bands to play a venue in the Midlands, all they have to do is visit this page for local bands to choose from and they have a full spectrum of sounds.

So if you're a new, up and coming talent in the midlands, whether you're a generic Indie band or Cock Rock band get your name down on the list!!!!!

Thankyou for listening
