Over Me

'Over Me' is a rock-based funky bluesy band from Bangkok, Thailand.
It represents a good combination of;
- a nerdy ex-office worker, hardcore-metal-headed engineering graduate, 'Non', on drums.
- 'Pete', a freshly graduated theatrical artist with a high pitch vocal
- a political science graduate freshly out of a time machine from the 80's hair band days for a guitarist called 'Pomme'.
- 'Fai', and a full-grown out of punk-feminism-anti socialism, Paul McCartney-wannabe, law graduate as a bassist.
(That definitely sounds too hard to put a finger on what is going on with Over Me. That's why YOU MUST LISTEN for yourselves.)

Why this name?
It came to us from stereo speakers one day when we were lying around listening to The Beatles' Abbey road. After the first track, everyone said, at the same time, 'who the heck is "Over Me"?, and that's it.
Come together, right now, Over Me.... ???
Well, we still need to learn more English.

Do you play live?
We're trying to play as many live shows as possible. Playing live is the best part of this job.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
In many ways. For instance, The sale of CDs markedly drops worldwide, artists/bands show up and disappear overnight, copyright infringement, though not accepted, seems common and easily done.
Should art be free or should hard work get paid? Who are we to decide?
All we can do is keep on making music, playing the best live show and satisfying as many listeners as we possibly can.
Play live shows, selling your music on the internet. Do whatever that works for you.
-Independent artists get known easier, depending less on major labels.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
That depends on the particular label/contract.
Band History:
We're all members of the university music club called 'C.U. Band' (Chulalongkorn University Band). That's where we met and decided our future in music making together. Starting from the campus' annual battle-of-the-band, we began writing our own stuff and signed up for more band contests around Bangkok. A year after we graduated, free from textbooks, thesis and tests. We have released our first self-made E.P. album called "Sle(E.P.)ing" in November 2007. The E.P. consists of 6 tracks of music with many musical influences form each member like rock, funk, pop, soul, but mainly based on rock music with funky bluesy feelings. Later on in the late 2007, we've won the 1st prize of U Band Battle music competition and got an opportunity to make a compilation album with other 8 local indie bands who was in the final round altogether, which is called "U Band Battle: Project I". In April 2008, Over Me was nominated for "Best Newcomer" by the honorable Fat Radio, the most famous indie music radio station in Thailand.
Now, besides playing live shows, we're writing songs for our new album which is coming soon.
