Wales

Alright peeps

We're heading across to Wales between the 17th and 25th of January next year to do a few shows and some recording.

We're confirming the details of the shows as we speak. The first show I can officially announce is:

Tuesday 20th January - The Saphire, Bridgend, Wales CF31 1EH

So if you're in the area... Check us out. If not... Come and check us out.

On this mini-tour not only will we be playing the songs from the myspace, but debuting a bunch of new ones too! So if you want to be among the first to hear them come and see us!

I'll be doing some music reviews next week, so you can get an idea what I'm listening to and what inspires me.
The rest of the guys will do their own at some point

Welcome!

So here we are, the very fist article on this: The Official Torque Blog!

Welcome one and all!

My name is Gavin and I'm taking up the role of communications manager for the band. Actually, that's a lie. There is no such title, however I do have the honour of writing the first blog!
I supply Torque with the low-end rumblings and can usually be seen on stage just nodding my head to the rhythm keeping the Torque train running.

The Band

Torque is the brainchild of Michael and Gary. In the early days the music was written and recorded in Mike's bedroom studio, knowing they were on to something good they started looking to complete the band and get out on the road. So after months of auditions I introduce to you:

Michael Sylvester - Vocals and Samples

Gary Baldwin - Guitar

Gavin Jefferson - Bass

Chris Lewis - Guitar

Jarome Maree - Drums

I'll try and get everyone to give themselves a proper introduction over the coming weeks.

You'll no doubt have either come from the Myspace or Facebook page. If you've just stumbled onto this blog by chance, have a listen here:
Myspace

We've also set up a Youtube channel too! Here It's empty at the minute but over the coming months expect to see both rehearsal footage and video-blogs of our travels!
Eventually I'll create some funky graphics and create buttons for all three so you can easily find them!

So what's the purpose of this blog?!

Well, unlike some of the big bands who cut themselves off from their fans we've decided to use this medium as a way of bridging the gap. To keep us in touch with our fans, share ideas and build the Torque family. Here we'll be feeding you tid-bits of information, announcements for upcoming shows amongst general band news.
Not only will we be hosting in regular Q+A sessions, we'll be doing many other events, so keep em peeled to this site. The official source of Torque news
