The Catapult Club presents So Called Enemy + The Rush Hour + Douglas Furs + Textbook Rumours
So Called Enemy are a Birmingham based band originally formed by Ryan Lowry in 2002.
As the band progressed, Matt Jones (the original guitarist) left, leaving Joe White (Drums) and Ryan (Bass & Vocals). Soon after, Fudge joined to play bass whilst Ryan took up the roll of lead guitarist and vocalist. After a few more months, Beth Elmer joined the band as the lead singer.
The Rush Hour:
Inspired by the critical acclaim of his work with Plutonik (http://www.integrityrecords.co.uk/) as founder member, producer, instrumentalist and arranger, Al Rowe embarked on a more personal songwriting project. With support from long-time friend Adam N on guitars and harmonies, Al recorded some eerie riddles. Once in demo format these tracks needed a kind of band-type thing.
Al contacted Nick H, who complied. He hooked up with Rich and Marcus. Al was having an interesting time trying to pound out bass guitar and vocals at the same time, so Nick contacted Chaz who was happy to enlist in The Rush Hour forces.
Rehearsals were productive; tunes created and crafted. First gig was February '07 at the Flapper & Firkin. It was 'fun'. Rehearsals continued. Recording of a five-track demo started with the drums in April 2007 and finished with the vocals and some nifty mastering by Nick in June. You can listen to them on this myspace.
After another spell of rehearsals, expansion and re-configuration of Rich's pedal-board, and with new songs added to the set by Rich and Nick, Al decided it was show-time! Dates were confirmed with The Catapult Club for appearances at The Jug of Ale, Hare & Hounds and Bar Academy.
Douglas Furs:
2008… Music is in trouble.
Sure “New Rave” was a nice distraction to get kids back on the dance floor, but can you really picture any of these bands making great second or third album?
The sad fact is that proper rock and roll is still lying under the Libertines’ shadow years after people should have moved on. Hell, Babyshambles don’t even sound like his former band.
Step up four lads with vastly different musical backgrounds who still understand the most important thing. Make sure there is a melody. With a tune you can hum firmly worked out they proceed to skuzz it up.
It’s not about the haircuts, the make of guitar they play or about posing to the groupies in the front row.
We are the Douglas Furs and we’d like one chance to make you think… and dance.
Textbook Rumours consists of Tom, Dave, Chris and their newest member Ben. After parting ways with their previous lead vocalist, the band is now entering an exciting new era full of drive and ambition to express their passion for music and to make their mark on the music scene.
They are also considering getting a keyboard player in so if you play keys get in touch
Venue: The Hare and Hounds, High Street, Kings Heath
