In
the long, luke warm, partially showery summer of 2005, God created
Chevrons, a band made up of a butcher, a sign-maker and two men
called Chris.
By
day, Chris H answers 999 calls, but by night he’s on an
emergency vocal hotline of his own whilst blending his trumpet
with percussiony things.
Mystery
surrounds Chris McK’s arena of work (best not to ask). This
said, he can crack off a groovy bass line without needing to be
asked. We still don’t know what surrounds Chris's social life
(best not to ask). But, he was once spotted signing for a large
delivery of rubber sheets (nuff said).
John,
whose drum kit is becoming self-aware (it grows bigger with each
gig), enjoys fine wines, Belgian chocolates, and scooping the
innards out of large dead poultry.
Stuart,
the one with the diggers, (the sidiest sideburns of them all)
enjoys Russian literature, synchronised swimming and crown green
bowling. He’s been playing guitar ever since he had to. It’s
also fair to say that he’s the third tallest member of the
group!
Stuarts
flat above the meat shop in Longridge has become the
epicentre of all things chevronational. A creative lair where
songs are sung, drums are drummed and brews are many.
Previously
known as 'one eye open', past gigs in Preston, Lancaster,
Morecambe, Blackpool, Bolton, supported bands such as the
Bluetones. Chevrons tight arrangement seems to develop an indie sound
that can only be described as having a punchy soulful mix
spread thickly across the top!
