   About Texan Peacocks
"The band's stage presence has a vibrant and utterly infectious energy about it that you would be hard pressed to find in most professional bands these days. Their renditions of 'Roxanne' (by the Police) & 'You Really got Me' (by the Kinks) are almost chilling in their accuracy................................................................................................................ On a scale of one to ten, cover bands usually range from a weak three to at the most a six (if you're feeling really generous). The same cannot be said for the Texan Peacocks who will certainly get your foot tapping within seconds no matter how cynical you are................................................................................................................ Where do we begin.OH MY GOD! I was lucky enough to have seen the band at a gig before hand and I knew instantly I wanted them for our wedding, and boy we were not disappointed. If you have never heard/seen/listened to the Texan Peacocks before you need to get off your backsides now and make the effort!................................................................................................................ We rocked the night away with the superb Texan Peacocks. We could not have asked for a better bunch of people and such a fantastic sounding band that played a great mix of rock songs. We have no hesitation in recommending them for any occasion and if anyone is thinking about booking, dont ponder ... just do it!................................................................................................................ The musicianship of the band is superb and frontman Tex's vocals are quite stunning, his pitch perfect delivery enhancing every song. His range of styles from Sting to Liam Gallagher to Morrisey, and more.. is remarkable. Top solid drumming, warm driving bass, super harmonies and percussion; and rip-snorting guiter playing from the other four guys certainly complete the brilliant Peacocks sound............................................................................................................... Stratford on a damp autumn evening..long week at work... ended up in small venue with a crowd made up people of all ages moshing to one of the best cover bands Ive ever seen. Fantastic! There is something that sets Texan Peacocks aside from other cover bands. They do songs they love with passion and an uncanny precision; Rolling Stones, XTC, Blondie, The Smiths, Undertones, Kaiser Chiefs... Frontman, Tex, leads the band with tongue firmly in cheek and with a panache that makes the songs on the Texan Peacocks set list seem like their own rather than an array of covers from the last 40 years. Book em for sure!............................................................................................................... Thanks for such a great performance guys! Between rushing around organizing things I wondered into the main marquee to find 200 people jumping around to Message in a bottle! You really set the night alive and your efforts were greatly appreciated by all 1000 guests and the Ball Committee"................. /object>

May 31 2007 4:13 PM

Hey hows it going?
We reeeeeeeaaaaaallllllllyyyyyy need you!
We are aiming to get into the top 20 UK chart with the single 'Ask Away' - The single is in memory of our bassist/vocalist Tim Brown and it would be the best lasting memory we could do for him.


The single is out June 11th (Just 2 weeks away!!), and would help us so much if you picked up a copy(or 2!!!!). You will be able to order from HMV online , and most download sites from monday June 11th! There will be links from our page to all the sites so keep checking back


Would be really amazing if you bought a copy in that week, and help us make Tims dream come true


Thankyou! and keep rocking!


Pete, Nick and Jonny xx

Cheers for the add lads. How did Oxford Uni ball go? We wanted to hang around and see you, but Richard O'Brien took ages with that damn crystal dome, and we had to get moving. And sorry about playing Brightside - its one of our better ones and we just had to. All very enjoyable though. Cheers.

DO you know whats on most girl's minds but they won't tell you or will they.
I am telling you this because it is the honest truth, look I should know, they say that it is all in the way you use it, not how big it is, well I got news for you all, that is pure lies.
I know from personal experience, I will tell you about a secret that seward has made me promise to never ever tell anyone, but since he has not called me in three weeks after standing me up, I am going to break the promise and tell you how he went from having a tiny wang and in 4 months he is now about nine inches and get this, it is still getting bigger. He has been secretly taking grow pills from this site, copy and paste the address into your browser to see them. BASRIM.COM
I found out when I was at his house, three fridays ago, we were getting ready to go to the mall, so while he was in the shower, I went in his room, sneeked under his bed and found a box with pill bottles in it, there was like 9 full bottles and 4 empty ones, all ordered from BASRIM.COM I was laughing at first but then when he came in the room and caught me looking at them, he freaked out and made me sware to not ever tell anyone about them, especially girls from school or work that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the popular girls around here, when just last year he was the shyest when it came to girls.
I just never put two and two together until he explained it all to me, I did see his prick and yes, it is huge, pronostar huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering 6 bottles from the website at BASRIM.COM for you know who.. he does not have a myspace account, so he is not gonna see this.
