The KOO

Sometimes after the splits of several bands, some members decide to reunite to create a new band! That's what happened to FC-20  and KAROVA .
In The Koo, you can find members of those bands and others. Most of them are from Camden (London), one is from Syston and another from Lincolnshire.

The Koo's members are : 

Arnold who tells the tales 

Paul who says how it is

Scotty who has and give the beats

Al on guitar

George on Bass 

Asa behind the keys.

They created this band cos they were not going in the direction they wanted with the old bands, now they're all thinking the same and want the same in music. The band already played several gigs to introduce themselves to the british audience before getting their first big appearance on the main stage at The Strawberry Fields Festival on the sunday evening. 

The band is currently in studio with Steve Proctor and a song will be released very soon from this session. 

If you love the Stone Roses then you should have a listen to this band.

FC-20

I heard about FC-20 around February of this year when they were playing the same night as MovE in Leicester. Then my Leicesterian's friends told me about them again and told me about their kind of sound and said I should have a listen, etc... And to be honest, I absolutely not a fan of the band where there is a singer and a rapper!!! So I, a little bit, ignore their advice even if in that band, there was now a guy I "know"! Yeah I know, if I write about the band now is that because, well let's be honest, I was wrong!!!! 

I finally saw the band, LIVE, at the end of April when I went back to Leicester (again and again) to see Modern Faces's gig. FC-20 was one of the support band with The Vanishing Point. And yup, I was blown away!!!

This band found the perfect combination between rap and singing! I was with a friend and her husband and when we talked after the gig, they told me that they were usually like me with the "rap and singing's bands" but they also totally fell in love with FC-20 so they confirmed me in my opinion: FC-20 have something special!

FC-20 is a band from the famous Camden in the North of London. Formed in 2009, they completed the formation this year and came back in action at the same time, they're now gigging the most they can in London and the Leicester area. They're gonna be playing every last saturday of the month at their own party with differents unsigned bands (some of those bands are in my blog ;) ) and they're trying to export their music to play gigs outside UK.

The band is:

Simon Webb at the Vocals (singing)
Arnold Priddie at the Vocals (Rap)
George Dean at the bass
Scottie Stewart at the Drums
Asa Brown at the keyboard
Jean-Paul Reilly at the Guitar

I would describe their music as alternative electro indie rock! I really think this is a band who have everything to show you live and I swear you won't be disappointed.

FC-20 is what we called in french "un groupe en devenir"
