The Berettas are a four piece band from York. Very simply it's drum & bass, guitars & voice.
The Berettas came together from 3 ex bandmates (Adam, Jim, Jason) getting together to write
some tunes and by chance (or fate?) bumping into (literally bumping into) a drummer (Dan) on a
drunken night out on the mean streets of York.
The Berettas write music they like.
The Berettas are nice people (most of the time).
The Berettas are taking a short break towards the end of the year to write some more tunes and
are 'going for it' in 2008.
The Berettas would love you to listen to their music.
The Berettas would love to hear what you think.
The Berettas would love you to come to a gig.
The Berettas thank you for reading this.
The Berettas are going to stop writing ' The Berettas' before everything.

February Fuzzy Fun! Sat 28th Feb. City Screen Basment, York.
Starring: Undergrass + Helene + Sam Forrest
Undergrass will fry your brain with their dirty brand of deep fried southern skynyrd sounding bluesy swamp noise, all the way from Foss delta. Hell Yeah!
Helene are fronted by Helene and hail from London. And will be warming the fuzzy cockles of hearts with Velvet Underground esque pop and hints of Francoise Hardy. Their 3rd Album; 'Heliotrope' is out now, and has been critically loved, because, well it is mega!
Breaking you in gently for the night will be the fantastic Sam Forrest. Who will destroy your inds in a most pleasent fashion with his sublime Neil Young meets David Crosby Acousto-pop. Sublime!
Team Fuzz will, as always be your hosts for the evening! covering the basement in all manner of lights, projections, lollies, decor and serving up classic and not so classic, Blues, Soul, freakbeat, psych, northern soul, boogaloo, funk, odd bits of hiphip and whateverthehellelsetheyfancy.
Doors are at 8pm until 1am and tickets are only £4 otd or just £3 in adv or with a flyer. Be there or be a square from Delaware.
January Fuzzy Federal Fun! Sat 31st Jan. City Screen Basment, York. The Federals, The 99s + Reefus Moons What more can be said about The Federals? Other than they play crushing garage fuzz blues, sound like angry version of The Sonics, are loved by Steve Lamacq, The Times and they our favorite band, possibly ever.
The 99's are from across the Pennines, but you'll not mind once they start ripping into their Beatlesy / Byrdsy pop... and they sound a bit like The La's - which aint no bad thing.
Refus Moons is Yorks closest answer to Syd Barrett, except without the debilitating brain melting acid induced mental health problems... well, maybe...
