Bio
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. ..GO! Single has SOLD OUT. Look out for details of our new single soon .... Signed to Halifax based Belle Records Bradford’s Hoover Dams arrived on the scene in 2005 sharing their early stages with the likes of Bad Beat Revue, The Playmates and Forward, Russia. Winners of Channel 4’s Harvey Goldsmith Presents series winning the prestigious title of Harvey Goldsmiths (Legendary Live Aid promoter) Entertainers of the Year and regular gigging up and down the country has gained Hoover Dams a reputation for blistering, unpredicatable live performances managing to blend pop songs, distorted guitars, a diy mentality and entertaining live performance to create catchy scuzzy pop tunes. 2010 has seen the release of latest single ‘Go!’ which with its accompanying animated video has seen support from the like of the late great Frank Sidebottom who featured the video on his last ever TV show Timperely TV and BBC Raw Talent in Sheffield, Leeds and Humberside. Hoover Dams have supported in the last couple of years the likes of - Pulled Apart By Horses, The Sugars, The Frank and Walters, Forward Russia, Napoleon IIIrd, The Lost Boys, Whiskycats, Luke Leighfield, Stateless. Middleman. Buen Chico… ....What they’re saying - Sheffield Unsigned Bands - 'I believe if this band dont shine by 2011 or i,ll bum the pope lol.......................................... ' Cool Noise Website - ‘Intense and claustrophobic music from Bradford. Extra proof, as if anyone needed it, of the Leeds/Bradford axis of musical accomplishment. More edge than a very edgy thing.’ ....Vibrations Magazine - ‘The Hoover Dams create refreshing indie Rock’ ....Frantic Corduroy Website - ‘What is this low-fi loud guitar love-in and where has it come from? Bradford, apparently. it’s catchy, it’s interesting, it’s a little dark and it sounds like the track was recorded on an old Memorex cassette found under the passenger seat of someone’s car - but the lo-fi feel goes well - it’s a bit dirty and you want it to be that way. Who wants to feel all shiny after some gritty loud guitars? More like you need a shower and a good scrub. But hell, you’re alive’ 9/10 .... Mono Magazine - ‘Hoover Dams swirling unison riffs engulf the whole club - its fucking loud and its fucking good … there’s depth, intrigue and more importantly DANGER here … Go and see the Hoover Dams soon.’ .. .. VISIT OUR WEBSITE ..WWW.HOOVERDAMS.COM.. .. .. Please watch the brand new Frank Sidebottom TV Show, its ace, you know it is, it really is!! Our video Go! features in this epidsode of which we are very proud. Also look out for Doug's head in the opening sequence - .. .. ......frank sidebottom.timperley tv 1...... .. .. .. .. .. ......REEMA_LEEMA.. | ..MySpace Video....
