   About The Gares
We're The Gares. We've got the blues.

Formed out of a love of the music of the Delta and the Mersey we surfaced in 2008 and play stomping and howling dirty blues with a belief in simplicity. At it's root we are made up of pounding drums, driving bass, raucous guitar and growling vocals.

Keep stompin and howlin brothers & sisters - The only thing that matters is the music.

Things people say...

"Stripped down straight for the jugular with an ear for a tune on the darkside" - Evening Gazette

"Like Captain Beefheart knee deep in the Delta swamp" - popism-music.com

"The Gares have a growling, gritty blues sound that brings to mind echoes of their musical bible - Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart" - Bob Fischer, BBC Tees

"They bring Mississippi to Teesside" - Kadabra Magazine

"With a mix of loud, brash, dirty blues these lads are picking up steam on the local scene." - fringefestival.co.uk

"Stripped down dirty blues for a new generation" - Pig Pen Festival

"Fuzzbox-heavy, blues influenced shouters from the Tees delta" - NARC. Magazine

"In a relatively short space of time The Gares have really established themselves as one of the local bands you've got to see" - The Link

"One of the leading Teesside rock and rollers. Loud, brash and a fist full of bluesy songs." - Ten Feet Tall

We have put a new song up for you, it’s only a rough demo which hasn’t really been mixed well and hasn’t been produced but it will give you a taster of what may come next in our next recording sessions next year.

Enjoy! It’s called 'Stop'. Please tell us what you think.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace...
Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(see my blog for details): 
CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY

As gospellers have said,
Beneath signalling skies,
On land dusty to tread,
A trough in a stable
Was the strawy first-bed
Of a divine baby -
The forgiving Godhead.

A season for new hope -
There then and here now;
The yuletide of goodwill -
There then and here now.

In respect of this chance,
Beneath bright or dark skies,
Faith's the star that we glance
Attending Christ's churches
And trying to enhance,
With singing and ritual,
Our God-loving stance.

A...

As you may or may not be aware SoundARC hold a charity gig every year at Club 85 in Hitchin in aid of the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, and this year we are going to try something a little different from previous years.

This year we are going to take over the club and host 37 acts in one weekend putting full bands upstairs and acoustic acts downstairs in an event that we are calling ARCfest!

It all starts on Friday 4th December at 7pm and then continues on through Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th from 12pm-11pm

As well as raising money for the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, ARCfest will showcase all the different genres of bands that we at SoundARC have come across over the last 4 and a half years. Over this weekend a lot of the acts that you will see don’t get a chance to play a great local venue like Club 85, So as well as hearing new music you will see all manors of genres and styles from acoustic - Metal - Indie - Rock - Punk - Electro - Ska - Funk - Hip Hop/Rap - Alternative - Rhythm & Blues - Reggae - Grunge and loads more that I cant remember!

Hello. Please do delete this comment if you so wish.

We're just making sure that everyone knows that our debut album 'Horses For Courses' is available to buy from our little record label's online shop:

http://www.donttellclare.co.uk/shop.htm

Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.

International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.

Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.

Lots of love
Das Wanderlust
