   About The Chairmen


The Chairmen are an energetic 5 piece hailing from the depths of the East Midlands. Leicester to be accurate. The band have built themselves a reputation as a great live band and have become one of the top acts to go and see, in a city where the number of quality bands has risen massively in recent years.

With gigs supporting the Wombats, The Rumble Strips, Kula Shaker, Good Shoes, The Young Knives and slot at last years Summer Sundae Festival, to name a few, they havent been short of some impressive stages, and with a seemingly never ending list of gigs that are constantly being thrown their way, The Chairmen never seem to stop moving.

This hairy bunch of misfits create tunes full of quirky lyrics and driving guitar riffs that seem to really hit the spot with audiences everywhere! A gang of best mates who will entertain any crowd thats put in front of them!

The bands new 4 track EP, 'The Things We Do To Pass The Time' is available to purchase for just £3 from the Bulb Promotions website, by clicking on the image of the gun below.


PRESS QUOTES....

The Chairmen are one of Leicesters outstanding rock bands. Their five band members discharge a stream of catchy and highly polished songs. They know how to work an audience and there is always a great sense of occasion when they play a gig - Arts In Leicestershire

The Chairmen oozed enthusiasm, and the crowd, some of whom I suspect were already fans of this band, were eating out of their hands - Sandman Magazine

See this band quick and get your dancing shoes on - Leicester Student Uni Reviewer

Their sound is achingly sharp and thoroughly contemporary within which they have written some exceptional material with a wide range, witty lyrics and excellent guitar work. Displaying a whole host of mish-mashed ideas within their music they bring it all together flawlessly for something unique and genuinely exciting - Surface Unsigned Festival

________________________________________________________________________

We've been working on alot of new material recently and are planning on recording again soon, but in the mean time, here's a video of one of the new songs to wet your appetite. It's called '20/20 Vision' and was recorded live at Proud Gallaries in London.......
