About the COLOURS

>John Earls, Planet of Sound, Channel 4: 'Having wowed us a year ago with the funk of their 1st demo, they return with a whole new spectrum. Some might call it post-coldplay, but big old anthems like this will never go out of fashion. Especially when unlike their peers, its got a supple rhythm section - check out the Doves-y drums. Not just better than a Morning Runner, superior to most signed acts out there'

The-Mag, Southampton: The Colours have been causing quite a stir in the press recently … Whenever I see a band for the first time, there's a little hope somewhere inside that I will be blown away and fall in love with their sound, attitude, look, everything. On this night I had that blissful experience. If this band aren't on the national consciousness by the end of the year then I'll find an old hat and eat it. For full review see thecolours.co.uk

MADE IN EUROPE	Jun 1 2009 8:41 PM hi guys.. well havent passed by for a while.. and thought i should say hi.. as its been a while.. Well we did it.. we fought to the end!! went out on a fab high with funkyDory from london.. and just like EVERY band thats been and gone.. EVERYONE fantastic, yourselves absolutely included.. AMAZING season, and it is with thanks to ALL of the bands who came over to push and support the LIVE music.. and kind of culture shock the theatre!!! Well on a good note.. we increased every show, on a down side, we are still not 'full'... but we're almost there... so, we're going again next year.. give another shot, and continue, what now, has become very very personal to both the music in general, and if every band has such high morales as everyone we have seen, then that is worth everything.. it has been refreshing, enjoyable, amazing and a real head turner to know there really is 'genuine' people left in this world, doing things from the heart, supporting each other, and WOW how good that feels, to know there is LOVE & MUSIC!!! THANKYOU ALL SO SO SO SO MUCH.. and long may Everyone continue, with success, happiness and continued support... gosh.. listen to me.. looks like one of my 'famous' emails!! and i'll end with a plug for the new one if I may!!! www.vivaossola.org !!! THANKYOU again and again..couldnt have done it without you... and please keep in touch..xxxx Abbey and the gang!! xxxx Do you wanna bit of sunshine or are u okay.. PLEASE take some from here..its HOT!
