Brothers, Hoff and Paul have been playing music forever, but started performing in public together in 1999 with their acoustic covers threesome 'Hessian Drape'. They played in local pubs for a while until they were picked up by founder member of rock band 'Porcelain'. After a year or so they decided to break away and start a band using their own material, having both written songs since they were young.
Shiseido Red started life as a rock band with drums, bass, electric guitar and keyboards, but as time went on they decided their true sound was at its best acoustically, This format allows the brothers the chance to exhibit the close harmonies, rhythmic and melodic style for which they have become renowned. After a couple of years of playing their new style they came across classically trained violinist Tessa Gilles who has added her own haunting and delicate vibe to the Shiseido sound.
Singer/pianist, Paul’s lyrics are exquisitely emotive, with singer/guitarist Hoff's writing touchingly reflecting on social issues. Whilst the guys are inspired by an assortment of musicians; (including The Beatles, Tori Amos (band name chosen from a Tori lyric), PJ Harvey, Fleetwood Mac, Joni Mitchell, REM and The Smiths; to mention but a few!) when asked ‘who are they like’ it’s a tough one, for their sound is distinctively SHISEIDO RED.

Love your work-thanks for the request-ill let you know when my book is done!! To Inspire and be inspired is what Life music and art is all about!!you never know where inspiration will hit you!!Writting is like seeing butterflies over your head-you see them-try to catch them, and every once in a while you grasp one-then you watch in amazement as they spread their wings over your canvas and help you paint and color from your inner most imagination!!--afterwards you send the butterfly back in flight!! They then fly all over the universe to gather more nector of your inner most thoughts which hopefully spreads to other people who want to see them in flight-it is here that the Journey begins! All My Best!!
Thanks love. I'm a bit poorly at the moment, but hope to see you at some point...hope gigs go well. Will try and make it to one if I get better soon! xxx
