Bridgefield are a collective of quite outstanding musicians who pour heart and soul into every composition. Currently numbering three; Rob Goss on Bass; John Woods on Guitar and Martin Kent on Keyboards, the band is half way through engineering their second CD; "Take It AS Red" which is the follow up to their first offering; F1RstLY which was released in 2000. The new album is due for release in the Autumn of this year. Once finished the band plan to bring on-board a singer and drummer to take the new songs out on the road.
Why this name?
Bridgefield was where it all started....a small barn, on a small farm nestling in the Chiltern Hills, 30 miles (although it might as well be 300 miles) West of London, UK
Do you play live?
Played too many places to mention here. The most notable are: The Rock Garden, Halfmoon, and Bull and Gate all in London, The Horn in St Albans, Hampdens and The Hop Pole in Aylesbury, The White Horse in High Wycombe......and we love it.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
In theory it gives us all a chance, although I think it is like any other medium, those bands with a little industry backing have much more opportunity than the true independent bands. It is essential to have someone plugging away with the marketing on the bands behalf as none of us have the time to write and record and perform and also market the band in our spare time......WHAT SPARE TIME?
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Absolutely. They would take all the administrative/marketing/management nonesense out of everyday life
Your influences?
A whole range really. Garbage, Blondie, Muse. We cram funky, rhythms together with blues/rock guitar licks and fatten the whole thing out with rich keyboard pads/organs.
Favorite spot?
Lindos on the Island of Rhodes in Greece
