Influenced by artists such as 'Brian Wilson', 'Super Furry Animals', and 'XTC', 'Battery Brides' mix a unique blend of psychedelic orchestral pop, absurd cartoon-electronica, and a surreal use of the English language to make fun and diverse music. Formed in 2004 from the remains of 3 piece rock band 'Fluronova' (who were by then a reasonably experienced gigging machine, playing at venues such as the Pressure Point and Pavilion Theatre in the Brighton/Worthing area), with Paul Steel on songwriting duties and Kelwen Cooke with some satisfyingly "phat" bass. 'Battery Brides', still in their teens, hope to become successful recording artists and aim to have thier music commercially available to share with the waiting world.Band/artist history
Paul Steel is the songwriting propeller behind the Battery Brides warship (wft?). On vocals, piano and guitar, Paul's psychadelic pop stylings are bidding for global (maybe local) domination. With plenty of live experience fronting 'Fluronova' and playing bass for Brighton band 'Distance', Paul has also produced, arranged and co-composed music for a production of MacBeth performed at the Gardner Arts Centre. Paul takes care of the arranging and producing with his reasonable PC-based recording setup. Paul very much enjoys listening to vocal harmonies and large orchestral arrangements like those of the Beach Boys and also has an secret passion for mildly amusing techno-rock.
Sir Kelwen of Cooke may never have picked up the bass had it not been for his unashamed love of those much ignored frequencies between 30Hz to 100Hz. When he's hung up his axe he often listens to obscure and experimental artists such as Orchestral Manouvres in the Dark, Brian Wilson and quirky rock bands such as Crackout. For anyone who saw the 'Fluronova' shows they will tell you Kelwen truly puts the "'n'" in "Rock'n'Roll"... this being a very serious responsibility for someone of his modest height, but when it all boils down, Kelwen justs wants to play silly music and have fun.Have you performed in front of an audience?Worthing/Brighton venues such as Concorde 2, Pressure Point, Freebutt, Worthing Assembly Halls, Pavilion Theatre, Waterfront etc etc. Playing live can be alot of fun. Every Battery Brides moment is a beautiful one.
