Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Starbleed formed in early 2003 with the line up of:
Aled Evans - Vocals
Mark Ives - Bass
Francis Roberts - Guitar
Garry Beaton - Drums
James Coles - Guitars
James Coles left the band and was replaced with Josh Hartshorne for a short while before he returned. After playing covers Starbleed soon started work on their own origional pieces and recorded a demo in late 2003 which included the songs:
Far
Killing Me
The Liars Chair
A few months later and James was fired from the band over unknown reasons and Bryn Richards was brought in to fill the gap of the second guitarist and to help with the writing. And that is the story to this present day, the band has played 4 gigs around Gwynedd and have earned new fans along the way. At this moment Starbleed are writing new material for a new demo which we will start recording 6th of December this year and hopefully finish in early by early January next year. Keep checking the site for updates and join the mailing list (it's on it's way) to recieve your free copy of the demo!
Recently Mark (bass) has decided to leave the band for personal reasons, Aled will now take over from him to play bass and sing.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Starbleed have played a total of 5 gigs, which doesn't seem much but where we are it's as much as we can get!
