Spyre
The Band
Spyre : In their quest for musical fame, all members have given up full time employment to focus all their energy into producing the unforgettable sound that is spYre. Few changes to the original line up. Spyre’s sound has grown and can now be coined as Rock,pop, melodic with an new electronic twist.They have been together for a short time and already have an impressive gig cv including Carling Academy, KingTuts.
Manchester :Retro Bar, Liverpool: The Green Apple next to cavern. London : The Red Lion. Edinburgh : Whistle binkies and soon to play the Liquid Rooms. Energetic showmanship, Magical powerful full sound but a rounded rawness which comes through the vocal and guitar riffs.
What makes spYre tighter is that they are genuine friends.
Skip :(keys and bvs) Born in Glasgow but raised in Perth,Australia. Last member of the band to join. Plays keyboard and recently added a Korg Micro Synth to his array of sounds. Brings melodic harmonies and strong backing vocals. Trade mark bowler hat. Influences : Chris Martins musicianship, Most recently been touched by Franz Ferdinand.
