The Gasolineros
As the Eurotunnel project chased North London musicians out of their rehearsal rooms with a wrecking ball, Mark Sinton (singer from Carbine), Ray Williams (bass player from The Pooh Sticks) and Alan Beck (multi-instrumentalist and professional speller) found themselves huddled around their amps in the damp of an oil-stained railway arch behind St Pancras. So they lit the gas heaters, wiped the mould off their instruments and The Gasolineros were born. The band set to work and out of the fretboard fur and signal box hum came a four-track demo, which was played on Xfm and BBC 6 Music. Following successful shows at the Water Rats Theatre, Queen Bitch Records, formerly Che Trading (The Lilys, Urusei Yatsura) signed the band for their first release. The e.p. 'The Day I Ran Away' was produced by Robin Proper-Sheppard (Sophia and The God Machine) and released throughout Europe in May 2003. After further shows at The Garage and a successful launch in the UK, the band recorded their first album, “Nash Point”, produced by Charlie Francis (REM, Turin Brakes, The Crocketts, High Llamas, Minus 5 and Wilco), which will be released in early 2004. Oh, and don't bother looking for the arch. It's not there anymore.   http://www.thegasolineros.com

ReviewsThe first single is currently getting high rotation in Italy and Germany.Monster in my lungs will soon be used as the soundtrack for a film by a reknowned Italian movie director. Did you know that Ray has a credit in the Darkness's new album? Without ray and his amazing Bass the record would never have been made. Small world eh? Releases |
