Title: Local music thread
Post by: Bogus Dave on Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 21:01:08
Will it work? Will it not? Probably not. But listen to this band, because they are actually a local band that do something other than play shite lad rock covers and are actually good. Hot Chip vibe going on, lots of beeps, blurs and bass lines.

Nudy Bronque - An amazing live act from Bassett/Swindon - Just recently been signed up to a label, now playing shows in London, Liverpool etc, but still play a lot of headline gigs around the local area (Riffs, 12 Bar, Vic etc)

Good shout, I know Gaz very well and he works his socks off playing gigs in pubs all over the country. He deserves a bit of a break through.

they may be, but any discussion on swindon music is always dominated by them. Lets change it up a bit, give the newer / less heard stuff some love.

Liking Nudy Bronque. I know you've put them up before, but first time i've ever really listened to them

Agreed. He writes quality songs. Good peformer live as well. Went down to watch his gig at The Running Horse last week. Was great entertainment.

Check out the TEF's own MarkyTee as well. Also does accoustic stuff and writes good songs.

Not bad at all that. Surprised I haven't heard of these guys but i'm way out of touch with the local scene these days.

Gaz Brookfield is fucking brilliant. Natural and a born entertainer. Kova Me Badd are the best covers band around, featuring the TEF's very own MarkyTee.

Here's one of mine :)

LIES!!! They are fucking awful!!!

Gaz is ace though, always comes up with the goods whatever band he is in. Matt Killford is very good as well in the acoustic stylee.

Judging by what weve been upto recently, Kova Me Badd is only going to get worse. :)

Matt Kilford is certainly a talented fella also check out Charlie Bath if you can. 
I havent been blown aqway by a decent rock band for a while tho.

My stepmum's sister's son is in a band from Swindon.

Think they are called Goldman? Not sure of the type of music but think they have had a few songs played on local radio before.

Charred Hearts are the best Swindon band by miles,and have been for years.

Some good up and coming bands are about for sure.
