So who the fcuk are this band?
Eastroad have been playing gigs around the U.K. for the past 8 years. There have been a couple of changes in the line-up during that time.
Originally from Lincolnshire the band decided to move south to the capital in the summer of 2006. The band members and their roadie Bart who is from Poland live in a house in South London.
They are the two brothers Rob and Will, who in the long-standing tradition of brothers in bands argue and fight. (Mostly with each other) Liam and Noel Gallagher, Ray and Dave Davies you get the picture. Ben who is also a D.J. also referees some of the brothers slanging matches.
Rob is the person that writes most of the Eastroad material and shares the main vocals with Will. He has a degree in Electrical Engineering and is currently studying for a masters degree
Will is Robs younger Brother; he plays bass and shares the vocals with Rob. He is ambidextrous and can play guitar left or right handed.
Will is a resting actor, currently working for the London Probation Service.
Ben is the man behind the drum kit, he also provides backing vocals on a number of the Eastroad songs.
He is a former student of London's Drum Tech.College. He is a trained fitness instructor & lifeguard. Ben is a manager at a large London Lesiure Centre.
We have been having a fantastic time at Her Majesty's Prisons
with
Les Chappell
In support of
BILLY BRAGG's
" Jail Guitar Doors"
project
Looking forward to doing many more.
Having made a bit of a noise at the
Glastonbury Festival 2008 & 2009

W have also played for Alan McGee at his fantastic London Club nights.
Hey guys, well it would be just brilliant if one day you all come to Amsterdam to bring down houses here! We've got a couple of nice venues for it. So..who knows what the future will bring, eh? Have a great day too!
Hey guys! just dropping by to wish you all a great and rocking weekend !! Good to hear about Music Maker and the review. Will keep an eye out for it. Also: bring down the house on December 16. Haven't decided yet which way I go for Christmas shopping (Dusseldorf versus London), if and when..but London certainly appeals.. Greetings from Amsterdam
