  • Bio

    FORMED IN 1996 OUT OF FORMER MEMBERS OF "THE RINKY DINK PANTHERS" AND "VISION THING",AS ALL BANDS DO,WE STARTED PLAYING LOCAL GIGS WITH SETS OF COVER VERSIONS,AND ONE OR TWO SELF PENNED TRACKS. WON A LOCAL BATTLE OF THE BANDS COMP AND THE PRIZE WAS TO RECORD A CD,THIS BECAME OUR FIRST 4 TRACK RELEASE,RECORDED TOTALY LIVE AT THE RICHMOND HALL (NOW THE BRICKYARD) AT CARLISLE. LOCAL LABEL "KDs" JUMPED IN AND BACKED US FOR A RELEASE OF THIS E.P. THEN NEWCASTLE'S "GENERATOR" CAME ON BOARD AND HELPED US WITH PROMOTION AND LOCAL SHOWCASE GIGS INCLUDING A HEADLINE SLOT FOR "CUMBRIA CREAM",WHICH GOT US A FANTASTIC REVIEW IN NATIONAL MAG "MAKING MUSIC". THINGS STARTED GETTING SERIOUS WHEN WE WERE CHOSEN TO PLAY AS PART OF RADIO ONE SOUND CITY AT NEWCASTLE,THIS EARNED US RADIO PLAYS OF "DIVE BOMBER" FROM STEVE LAMACQ AND THE LATE,GREAT JOHN PEEL. ANOTHER 5 TRACK DEMO "LIFE" WAS RECORDED AND WE WERE FLYING! ANOTHER NATIONAL TALENT CONTEST CHOSE US TO PERFORM AT NOTTINGHAMS ROCK CITY,EARNING US A GREAT NATIONAL REVIEW IN "MELODY MAKER" WE CONTINUED DOING LOCAL VENUES "MONRO's BAR AND THE RICHMOND HALL,AND EVEN PLAYED "CAIRO JACKS" IN LONDON AS PART OF AN A&R HUNT FOR UNSIGNED BANDS,AND "THE PACK HORSE" AT LEEDS,WITH SKA PUNK NUT CASES "THE DEAD PETS". BUT THINGS STARTED SLOWING DOWN DUE TO OUR WORK AND FAMILY COMITMENTS,AFTER TWO GREAT SUPPORT SLOTS FOR "(spunge)" AND "THE JELLYS",JOSH DECIDED TO GO ABROAD TO WORK,AND OUR ENTHUSIASM SLIPPED AWAY. AFTER A BREAK OF ALMOST 7 YEARS RIGSBY RE-FORMED AND ARE NOW REHERSING AND WORKING ON NEW MATERIAL,HIGHLIGHTS OF 2009 SO FAR SINCE RE-FORMING HAVE BEEN OPENING 'SOLFEST' AND HEADLINING THE LAST DAY OF THE SILLOTH BEER FESTIVAL.KEEP AN EYE ON THIS PAGE FOR NEWS OF FUTURE GIGS. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND SEE Y'ALL SOON, CHEERS! DAN (RIGSBY)

    Hi, we’re a residential recording studio in Spain and charge £750 for 5 days in the studio with 6 nights’ accommodation for up to 6 people. Shorter / longer stays  and recording / holiday deals also available. 

    We will be putting our prices up on 30th September so anyone thinking of coming here in 2011 should book before that date to get the lower price.
