‘The Marksmen!’
Not known as the creative centre of Norwich, with one pub, a
convenience store and one hundred yards between them, Silver Hill is
home to The Marksmen. Reputations from former bands led them to meet
and in 2004 their individual styles and sounds came together and
ideas and songs weren't far behind. What they produce is a
combination of powerful vocals, frenetic organ playing, smooth funky
bass lines and emphatic drumming, which is all brought together by
perfectly timed guitar riffs. What will strike you is that all five
elements of the band have equal importance in creating the music.
The band's effort, enthusiasm and obvious enjoyment of playing live,
creates an infectious party atmosphere. This has deservedly led to
an ever-increasing loyal and passionate following! In January 2005,
they completed their first set of recordings at Toerag Studios in
London .
The Marksmen have got an exciting summer ahead, which sees the
release of this debut EP on Biff Bang Pow Records. The band are also
looking forward to their heavy schedule of gigs, which will see them
playing to many new audiences in venues around the country.
The band line up is as follows:
Graeme Hewitt - Lead Vocals
Marcus Nunn - Guitar
Dan Woodcock - Bass Guitar
Ade Lee - Drums
Giles Hewitt - Hammond
