john shelly and the creatures are a collection of friends all under one roof. It was started by walter and phil one day in late December 2006. They were swiftly joined in January 2007 by college friends and since have been picking up talented musicians who are nice enough to play with them for love of the music and just general goings on around. It was originally intended to be a show case for all involved and hopefully in the next few months, you, the viewers can make this come true.

Everyone involved in this project is here for love of doing something slightly different at least thats what we hope.

The band have been recording for the last few weeks now and hope to have finished their second EP in the next month or so. They released their debut EP, "Big Day Out", in August 2007 and started playing live shows as soon as they had something to sell. Hopefully they'll be playing somewhere close to you in the near future so stay tuned!   I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace) Buy our tracks from indiestore.com View John Shelly and the Creatures's Sonicbids EPK

howdy creatures, hope yis are are spiffing. I wish to say two things. 1: Angeline is a really great track 2: Do you want to do a gig together in July sometime, north or south? any suggestions? I promise to lock the audience in the room and you can go onstage first :) Played in Dublin on Mon past, 'twas class, Dubs are more attentive than Belfastians, to my mind...with this subtle flattery I leave thee/s ...slan, Joel

Hey!

You've made excellent use of that there Verbzilla- sounds cla! (as they say in Newry) Lovely tune and very catchy, like some kind of catchy disease that you can catch from listening to catchy music. A good disease.
