Iain Luke: Lead vocals/Guitar///

Drums: Rich Newsome///
All current Songs are written by Iain Luke (except Forever, co written by Rich, and 'The Space song' which is the 1st song all three members of the band have written together)
Influences
Iain Luke considers Freddie Mercury to be his idol, but is also big fans of no Doubt and Bryan Adams, but doesnt really think anyone he listens to influences his songs, his songs just flow from inside and he doesnt know where they come from.
Tozz is a big fan of punk music and inparticular blink 182.
Newsome is in to all sorts of music, and is a great heavy rock drummer, but for the style of music that we play as a band he considers bands such as 'The Police' and 'U2' as his biggest influences.
Regardless of who the band members listen to or feel inspired by, the band consider themselves to be original and believe that they don't really sound like anyone else out there
Decide for yourself who you think we sound like, we believe ourselves to be as original as you can be in this day and age and try to offer something for everyone with a variety of styles used in our songs

The band-
Iain Luke: Lead Vocals, Guitar///
Bass: Tozz Casson///
Drums: Rich Newsome///
It all started in the summer of 2005 when Iain Luke decided that after 4 years of being on the scene as a solo artist the only way forward was to recruit a backing band. Finding the right people was no easy task, the only reason he had been solo for so long was because he felt no-one shared or fully understood his goals, but after a long hard think his old College buddy and former band m8 and songwriting pal from years before was brought in as the drummer. Iain Luke and Rich had lost touch after college, but bumped into each other one day and remembered how good they were when they used to play together, and even though rich used to play bass in the old band, he had since become a very accomplished drummer and offerd his services to Iain should he ever need them. As soon as Iain Luke decided to start the experience Mr Newsome was top of the list. Tozz is the younger brother of Iains best mate and is kinda like a younger brother to Iain, and allthough when Iain was getting the band together Tozz was new to the bass, Iain knew Tozz was a fan of his music and like Newsome got what he is all about and understood what direction the band wanted to go in, so with a few pointers from Iain and Newsome, Tozz was catapulted right into the heart of the band and practiced rigourously to get up to scratch on the bass and is now an acomplished bass player and integral to the band.
Thing have'nt always gone to plan for the band, alot of the time it seems like there is a greater force trying to prevent us from being together, but the band have sworn to stick together and bypass any obstacle and consider any hardship to be just another chapter in the bands future biography.
It's also worth mentioning that allthough the band was originally just going to be a backing band for Iain Luke the bond is much stronger then that and the personalities and musical ability of each member are too strong to be that of just a backing band so the band is a fully fledged band now with each member adding their own spin on things to help create the ultimate experience

The Iain Luke Experience – Release
After a few years on the solo scene, Welshman Iain Luke decided that the only way he was going to get anywhere, was to recruit a band to play with… and so the Iain Luke Experience was born. Playing an easily accessible radio pop, the band has been doing pretty well on the live circuit in the UK and releasing some of their material themselves. With a vision for the future and a commitment to the cause, the Iain Luke Experience may well be one to watch out for.

Greetings....we'd appreciate your thoughts on the latest demo track from 'The 4Sticks'....'Satellite'.....
The track is just one of a number of 'out-takes' from their recent 'debut single' sessions...as it's not being planned for general release we've listed it up on our page purely as a 'sample'...so it'd be good to get some feedback.
