   About MYIQ




After previous chart success, guitarist Dean Roberts had ambitions of fronting his own band. The chance meeting with ex signed drummer Andy Hawtin led to them sharing the same quest for world domination… hence the formation of MyIQ. After recruiting bass player Jim Jeffries, it soon became apparent that Dean was no superhero and second guitarist Spider was bribed into joining. After 4 months of solid writing, rehearsing and recording, the guys are eager to show their loyal fan base and, more importantly their critics, that MyIQ are a fast up and coming talented bunch of guys! With gigs under their belt at prestigious venues such as the Soho Revue Bar, The Fly, Sound and a summer of festivals being booked, MyIQ are heading out to showcase their blend of classic rock mixed with a modern day commercial edge.

Dean Roberts, formally of Freefaller fame, has worked alongside many artists in the business sharing gigs with Blue, Kelly Clarkson, Tom Jones, McFly and many others. He has performed on the biggest stages including the Brits, Party in the Park and the Smash Hits Awards. Alongside this he has had 3 top 30 singles, smashing in at number 8 with his debut, including performances on Top of the Pops, CD:UK, Popworld, T4 and MTV. The past 2 years Dean has concentrated on his writing talents working with numerous up and coming vocalists and musicians, carefully tuning his skills. At this moment in time he is putting together an album of songs that embrace rock of the last 30 years, bringing it kicking and screaming into the 21st Century.

Andy Hawtin was the power-house behind indie/rock outfit “Chasing Charlie” from 2001-2004, touring Europe and loving every minute of it! Like most musicians, he's been involved in music since the tender age of 11, being part of many school bands - mainly during detention! But since those crazy Chasing Charlie days, regular session work in London has kept him on top of his game. Random Andy fact....National Rowing trails in 1998!! Andy smacks "seven shades of s**t" out of DW drums, climbing all over their pedals and hardware; beats the living daylights out of Zildjian Cymbals and breaks enough Vic Firth sticks to re-plant a forest!

JJ is the hero, having served our great nation many times as a gunner in the Persian Gulf. He’s had the drive and passion to do something that many of us would rather the next man stepped forward for! Ambition is high on JJ’s list and the chance to play alongside his close friends is no exception. Taking his inspiration from Nikki Sixx, of Motley Crue, giving his best has made hungry for success.

Spider has always had a passion for rock, starting off life with the sounds of David Bowie, T-rex and Def Leppard. He has a great love for rock'n'roll whether its old or new skool. He started off his musical career as a drummer when only knee high to a grass hopper, but soon changed to playing guitar, which he found a greater love in. Soon after picking up the guitar he gained experience playing in various bands within Brighton and across seas, (this boy is a fast learner). Random Spider fact....He met Andy whilst serving on the Glam circuit!?!?!?! ....... and .....Spider Pig, Spider Pig.... does whatever a Spider Pig does!!!!!!


"Despite having only played seven gigs, headliners MYIQ are a tight and confident band, with strong songs and stage pressence that captivates the audience. And they can certainly play their instruments!"
~ XYZ Magazine after Brighton Coalition, April 2008 ~

"Copulating with girls & alcohol fuelled antics comes up a lot in the stories that precede this rock quartet from Brighton. I'd not met MyIQ before but with their on-line presence and reputation for wine, women and song, I knew we would get .. an eleven day, nine show tour of England and Scotland I would hear stories of other gigs, other girls and other excesses but for now, with their worn & torn image, they were ready to play. On the night MyIQ delivered a pile-driver rather than pick axe approach. The songs were well received, the crowd responding well to the mostly unknown set. There is pleasing spikiness and a melodic undertone to their driven, punk rock that was only slightly diminished by the usual sound problems of a small venue. While first impressions are that titties and beer, living the touring musician's dream & the after party are all that matters, & though run down and displaying the physical scars from their tour, MyIQ know how to blast a crowd with rock and I can’t wait to see them again!”
