The Electric Contrast Alex Marshall - Keys & Backing Vocals Rob – Drums Mike Bullen – Bass Gareth Murrain – Guitar & Vocals

The Electric Contrast a rock band that has such a momentous unyielding sound that will immerse you into their world, only more impressive that they can have strong, varied and original songs in their repertoire. It’s always exciting to see musicians playing with belief in their music from Rob’s strong but subtle drumming, Tom’s driving bass lines, Alex's atmospheric keyboard playing, Gareth’s catchy creative riffs and vocal delivery that can be similar to any of following depending on the song Ian Curtis(Joy Division) or David Byrne(Talking Heads) or Jimi Hendrix. All brought together by a good strong stage presence and moving rhythms. The band has performed in Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester and Solihull. The Electric Contrast has played ‘Bar Academy’ in Birmingham, ‘The Shed’ in Leicester and many other venues in the Midlands. The Electric Contrast is four different people, with different influences, all brought together by the love of the music they create together and captivating crowds everywhere they go! So as their profile says, ‘Come Feel the Electricity!’

21,343 plays when I looked! That's a wholesome amount… It's musically a similar sound to Hendrix (who's complaining there?), as far as I'm concerned.... Living Atheist (Review of 'Read Between the Lines')

Dear friends,
my elder bro Dima has made a page dedicated to our lo-fi studio “Happy Records” based in Kyiv, Ukraine, created for non-profit purposes. The focus of the studio work is producing indie artists we subjectively find interesting.

So please, find some time and listen to our friends’ music recorded by us at:

http://www. myspace. com/hepirecords

With best,
Volodia:)

Cheers Gaz! We actually played at the Station on Tuesday night. We were quite nervous so didn't tell many people, i wouldn't let my folks go. Next time though i'll let you know,it'd be good to see what you think,we could also do with guest vocals on who's got the crack by the moldy Peaches! It went pretty well,i think it was a success..even tho i fucked up the begining of Patty smith, which i can't get out of my head! Hope you guys are ok.
Peace!
