......today is easter sunday! so first off, "HAPPY EASTER!"
The 'boys' and I first met in June of 2005. I was introduced to Jack and Dave at a band rehersal for the band 'Dr!ven'. It was a sweaty afternoon at Music Tek studios [Dagenham East] and I was trying out as the fifth member, rhythm and backing vocalist. only problem was, the rest of the band bar the lead singer was actually aware of my reasons for being there!
...4 hours past and 'Driven' and I had began to learn alot about eachother. I could already see that Dave was a strong weight in the balance of the band, very talkative, organised, funny, and he knew his way around a bass fretboard. Jack was silent. He just played his part and smiled. But there was something that could be said for him......he knew how to BEAT THE HELL OUTTA THE DRUMS! The singer was female and the other guitarist was loud!....but nevertheless i cant say he couldnt play!
After that introduction back in June, i met with the band on various occasions and got to know them a little better. Im guessing that the band liked what the saw because in August i was officially made the fifth member of "DRIVEN". With only 3 days to learn their origional set things started to kick off.
Following my first gig the band gigged regularly and began writing new material. Soon the band began laying their differences on the stage.....or line if you prefere. Different members had different ideas with the future of the band. Not with regards to dedication but with musical ideas.
Band meetings were becomming more frequent than gigs or rehersals and arguments were becomming the only form of communication. Members were posing threats to leave and start other projects. After months of continuous decay and delay, Jack stepped forward and spoke, taking the threats up, and telling two/fifths of the band they were no longer needed.
25th february 2006, a new band was in the making. I recieved a call from jack telling me we on our own. We wasted no time getting to rehersal and forming new ideas, songs, sets and a stronger firendships. Things were looking up. We were having fun for once and making better music and with only 3 weeks to produce a brand new set in a new style and new band with only 3 of us, we began spending a lot more time with each other....only in the company of our instruments.
Our songs were ready and so were we as we played our first gig as a 3-piece in March at 'The Dome' in London. We recieved the best applause we had ever encountered. The crowd were great and the fun we experienced was mind blowing. This was proof that we had taken the first step in the right direction for our new band...."engelBengel".
We have recently recorded a 3 track demo and are writing new material as well as performing.
