   About Mr Spoon


The idea for forming the band came about around the end of 2007. Joel (the guitarist) approached Boots (the drummer) with the initial concept and he quickly agreed to come on board. A few bassists were discussed before G was asked to join and when he accepted the invitation the line up was complete. The band considered getting a second guitarist but it was quickly decided that this was not needed and could be detrimental for the sound, the band were looking to create. All three of the members had played together before as part of a larger band called Betamax so when they began to jam and write material things came together very quickly. At this point they were still without a name. Much thought was put into this and many names were suggested until a friend (mr green) of the band came up with something all the members liked. With its complete line up and a collection of original songs, Mr Spoon was born!

The band has what could be described as a contemporary alternative rock style, all though there are many retro components also. The elements consist of a heavy overdriven lead rhythm guitar style, a driving and melodic bass and a hard yet intricate style that provides pace and flow. Over the top of this of this is Joel’s highly melodic vocals which lifts the music to a new level. All in all something greater than the sum of its parts is created. The band has many influences from many different types of music. They enjoy listening to dub, jazz, dance, punk, and classical just to mention a few as well as the contemporary and classical rock which is the predominant aspect of the music. All the musicians are highly competent and experienced and have been in numerous bands previous to this one. They have played live many times and enjoy doing so immensely and are always striving to perfect their performance.

The band have now got more than an albums worth of material that is well rehearsed and ready to go and are writing new stuff all the time. If they were given the opportunity to put all their energy solely into their music they would be extremely prolific and would create many high quality tunes. They have currently been playing in Cardiff mainly at such venues as the Bar Fly and the Clwb Ifor Bach. They have also been doing a lot of home recording and have recently been into the studio(Dreamworld studios,pembrokeshire) to record a three track demo.

LIVE @ DIRTY SOUTH ,LONDON..SEPT 09

As you may or may not be aware SoundARC hold a charity gig every year at Club 85 in Hitchin in aid of the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, and this year we are going to try something a little different from previous years.

This year we are going to take over the club and host 37 acts in one weekend putting full bands upstairs and acoustic acts downstairs in an event that we are calling ARCfest!

It all starts on Friday 4th December at 7pm and then continues on through Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th from 12pm-11pm

As well as raising money for the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, ARCfest will showcase all the different genres of bands that we at SoundARC have come across over the last 4 and a half years. Over this weekend a lot of the acts that you will see don’t get a chance to play a great local venue like Club 85, So as well as hearing new music you will see all manors of genres and styles from acoustic - Metal - Indie - Rock - Punk - Electro - Ska - Funk - Hip Hop/Rap - Alternative - Rhythm & Blues - Reggae - Grunge and loads more that I cant remember!

Hello, Last night a dog by the name of Snickers was hit by a driver who drove off. He is not in the Vet signs show that anything could happen and he has improved since last night. How ever the family is up to $5,200.00 and we are trying to raise all the money that we can for this family to save Snickers. Please take a look at my home page on my website there is Snickers moms blog, her myspace link, the number to the vet for your own verification that this is not some type of scam, Snickers is really at this vet. Along with a few pictures of snickers on the website. Please if you could help in anyway weather it be 1.00 or 20.00 any little bit makes a difference. www.mydoggietreasures.com
Everyone who donates get 1/4lb of treats FREE

We would do the same for you and we hope you would do the same for us and in this case Snickers. Please send all your prayers and love

cooper and mommie
