About The Bays

The Bays remind you that music is about experience rather than shopping
[John L. Walters Guardian]

..irresistible to hear but seeing definitely is believing
[DJ Magazine]

a band who are reinventing dance music
[Big Issue]

The Bays are Andy Gangadeen, Chris Taylor, Jamie Odell and Simon Richmond. Their manifesto of pure improvisation and raw creative synergy is causing major tremors at all levels of the music industry, challenging many of its most entrenched attitudes about bands and live performance. Through their relentless gig schedule and tireless devotion to their radical musical ethic, The Bays have ripped up the rulebook and debunk musical convention wherever they play.

What drives this band is their need to communicate with the audience in a way not possible with most live bands. There are no songs to perform, theres no album to promote and there is no hidden commercial agenda. The Bays only perform live, they never rehearse, they dont have a set-list, they dont use sequencers and they couldnt ever do the same performance twice. Its all about the moment an experience that exists between the band and the audience for only one moment in time.

John Peel, following The Bays first Maida Vale live performance:
Fantastic! Amazing!! Im about to go on holiday and about this time next week Ill either be in New Zealand or on a life raft in shark-infested waters off the Solomon Islands, well have just eaten our last stewardess and some buggerll be playing Danny Boy on the harmonica and Ill think that I havent completely wasted my time.

I made this music player at MyFlashFetish.com.

The Bays and The Heritage Orchestra play the The Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, headlining the Fresh Festival to open Liverpool's City Of Culture 2008

Soundcrash	May 1 2009 12:29 AM Videocrash 3! with Hexstatic (live AV) vs The Nextmen (live AV) plus The Anomolies + DJ Cheeba (AV) + more tbc 8 - 3 Sat 6th June '09 £15 adv www.ticketweb.co.uk For the third installment of the now legendary Videocrash, London's biggest and best dedicated Audio-Visual event, we have lined up a truly ground-breaking affair, with the undeniable kings Hexstatic and new challengers The Nextmen as well as some of the finest up-and coming talent in this, the coolest up-and-coming night-club experience. Having absolutley killed it at the previous 2 Videocrash nights Hexstatic was an obvious choice to invite back to Koko, and in looking for an act to match up to them The Nextmen were a clear option, with their live showcase and excellent turntable skills. To make it all that bit more special, and to fit in with the theme of the occasion, Hexstatic will be providing a visual accompaniment to The Nextmen's set! Awesome. Throw into the mix the fruits of our quest into the world of AV to find some of the hottest new talent in the field, and the result is an evening that will blow Koko's bass-bins and your minds with a kaleidescopic mix of sounds and sights.
