Silvertone
Silvertone were locally famous for a year. We split in Ju8ne. Should we reform.......?
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Started in Jan 2004, under the name "The Illusions", the original line-up was Mike Moran (Guitar/Vocals), Dan Newton (Lead Guitar), Alex Lewis (Bass) and Matty Lemmon (Drums). Al moved away, and was replaced by Phil Turner, then by Kris "Nando" Cullum-Fernandez. Matty was eventually replaced Ben "Bambi" Patterson. After practising solid over summer 2004, Silvertone started gigging, and managed 30 gigs by the following summer. They split in June after fallouts between the bassist and the rest of the band. Now.......Dan and Mike want to start again with a new rhythmn section.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We used to play a lot at the Duke Hotel, The Strawberry Hotel, and the the Cross Bar. Best gig ever was our headlining a big gig at the Cross Bar in February 2005!Amazing atmosphere,great fans.
