More on Fans Of Kate:
Everyone's a fan; fans of films, fans of art, fans of some dodgy local football team who never make it past the Sunday league. But there are some new fans coming your way this year: Fans Of Kate.
Fans Of Kate are a rousing and rowdy five piece currently based in London. They all clubbed together when they were at university and it was there they begun to hatch their plans for a full on musical assault. And what an assault it has become.
They combine punky vigour and near apocalyptic fervour to produce a songbook bursting with exhilarating melodies that strut forth like a proud peacock on heat. Even in their most poignant moments (see song A Pattern) they create solid soundscapes which tug at heart strings but keep hands still firmly placed on your balls.
They released their self-titled debut EP in November 2004 to a rapturous response. From the frantic opener of 'Tape 23' with its rousing melody, the EP hurtles into 'A Pattern', a song to melt the hardest of indie hearts and on into the already live favourite 'Keep Warm.'
This band know how to craft songs at full tilt that will tug at your 'strings' whilst keeping a hand firmly placed on your balls. Fans Of Kate have been together for just under a year and were brought together by a common need to make music which matters, heart and soul.
Based now in various parts of London town the line up is: Jez Dixon - Keys,
Lead Vocals Steve Hurdle - Guitar, Backing Vocals
Jamie Brown - Guitar, Drum Machine, Effects
Raphael Knapp - Bass
Nick Eburah - Drums
