The Silouhettes
We like to make instrumental dance/rock type songs that people can listen to and enjoy. None of us can sing either, so that's one reason why...
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We're a band that set-up after deciding we wanted in on the vibrant music scene in the North-East. We currently have 6 official memebers, but many of our musical friends from other bands contribute to the music we make - especially The Catweasels.
We're basically a mergance of different bands and like to sway away from the stuff we usually do.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not really, we just make mp3's and play them to our friends. We'd like to play live - but members of our band have other commitments.
