Le Shed - Local Band Bio By Deano

When we started Le Shed three years ago. I played guitar and Dale Bottomley (Dalos) was the vocalist as well as the bassist. This was when we were a four piece and doing cover songs and a few of our own but things soon changed.

Dale stopped singing and I started, leaving us with just one guitarist (Dean Worswick, Machine). This changed our sound and we turned into more of a funk band than metal, which was fun. My voice started to adapt to new styles and this encouraged me to try different things and push myself in different directions.

I hated the fact that I was the front man in the band at first as I have never been the most confident person in front of a lot of people but I realised as soon as we did our first gig that if I concentrated on what we were trying to achieve, nothing could faze me because we had done it so many times before in the shed.

When Sam joined the band we knew things were going to change a lot. He brought a lot of metal riffs and recorded songs for us to listen to and write on to. As well as playing the metal riffs, Machine and Dalos kept the funky parts going with Slap lines and funky solo's. That's how we came to the style Heavy Funkin' Metal!

Wild Bill: In the pub we spotted a guy that Dale had seen drumming once before, and from what Dale had seen he was pretty good. We asked him to join and the next day Rob (or Bobby Love as he's now known) bought a drum kit and we started jamming in the Shed! Le Shed is: Wild Bill (Will) - Vocals Dalos - Bass Guitar Deano - Guitars (Clean) T-Bone - Guitars (Dirty) Bobby Lurve - Drums + Percussion

Band Reviews - Killer of Saints - Local Band Bio
	It's summer, 2002 and two dissatisfied rockers have stepped out of the ashes of their previous outfit, disillusioned and yearning for something more substantial. Ultimately they just wanted to rock, but this time they vowed to do it in style. Vocalist Chris and guitarist Adam then Read more...

Band Reviews - Shindigg By Elsie Creek
	Shindigg are the most original band you are likely to come across in Hull. With their incomparable style and funky time signatures, they are truly unique. Though I have been accused of sycophantically using superfluous superlatives in my time, in this case the praise is unarguably deserved. It is a predicament when, having awarded Read more...

	We found out some time ago that we would be playing Queens Gardens in the Stop Out Festival and from the outset were very very excited about it.

Music Reviews - Disarm at The Ringside - Wednesday 22nd May By Dick Spring.
	Reading the Day-Glo listing flyer with the line up for June, it seems as though there is some seriously good shit happening here, but there was an enforced change to tonights bill, in the form of Disarm from Mexborough in South Yorkshire. Describing themselves as Post Hardcore, for which I generally read Screamo, a genre that is Read more...

Music Reviews - La Femme Feste - Under the Influence at The Adelphi Saturday 29th May 04 By Neil Jacklin
	Having spied the poster for Dean Shakespeare's latest offering in my local boutique, I decided on a whim to check out what was being hailed as a major local event in female-led rock. Getting into the Adelphi at about 9 o'clock, I was a little disappointed to be actually able to get a decent seat, but there was enough of a buzz around to Read more...

Music Reviews - Blue Lamp Wednesday 19th May By Michelle Dee
	I went to this gig with a writer friend of mine. I was on a promise. Well, he said he'd buy me drinks all night. On arrival your friends and mine, CrackTown were sound checking so we moseyed along to the bar, as you do. He bought the drinks; me a pint, him a coffee. Hmmm ..He's not drinking I thought, Read more...

Music Reviews - Headup and Pitiful Reign at The Ringside - Wednesday 19th May By Dick Spring
	Goddamn! Has Wednesday come round again? Where do the days go? At least I have The Ringside to give me a good midweek blast of quality music and environment. I feel I must say that having been to many of the other pubs that have recently been trying their hand at masquerading as venues Read more...

	Wednesday night has come flying round again, and I find myself sashaying along to check out what's on this week at Ringside. Down to play tonight is a Hull band Infobia and what's this? An audience?
