We’ve got a major rock and roll event happening at 17 Shaw Rd this Friday (7th March) RIDING THE LOW are rolling into town and it is quite likely that things will never be the same!
Riding The Low are a five piece twin guitar indie/rock outfit hailing from Burton-On-Trent, Staffordshire featuring actor PADDY CONSIDINE, (Dead Man’s Shoes, 24 Hour Party People, A Room for Romeo Brass etc.) on vocals.
Since forming, the band have played several ‘local’ gigs and a London date at the Carling Academy in Islington drawing sighs and gasps and chants of “MORE MORE MORE!!”
Their lo-fi rock sound is influenced by Robert Pollard’s Guided by Voices who just happen to be Paddy’s all time favourite band. The band also cite The Smiths, Sparklehorse, Radiohead, The Pixies and The Smashing Pumpkins among their influences.
An eight track EP entitled ‘They Will Rob You of Your Gifts’ was released last October and was distributed at the gigs played around that time. Two more EP’s are scheduled for release in 2008.
