The story starts at Leeds biggest underground gay night 'Feline Groovy', where the nine members of DeLorean Drivers met and bonded over games of naked Connect 4 set to chemical disco beats.
During early rehearsals the band decided to plot their ideal tour after realising that many of the venues they wanted to play no longer exist. The itinerary included shows at Studio 54, CBGBS, The "F" Club, Batley Variety Club, The Roxy in LA and The Paradise Garage; legendary venues that helped shape music, culture, and perhaps more importantly, people. Grand designs indeed but the identity of these places and the sounds played within influenced the music the band wanted to hear and make themselves, and it was from this musical time travel concept that the name 'DeLorean Drivers' was derived.
A chance encounter with one of the leading club promoters of Leeds led to the Drivers getting access to a long-disused nightclub complete with dance floor, glitter balls and lights. The band moved in and started rehearsing three nights a week to an empty club, developing their songs and stage show. A loyal army of followers drawn from Leeds' theatre, art college and dance school started to come down to watch the Drivers perform, even helping out by building the stage set for their first live shows.
Travelling forward in time to it's release in May 2011, the band's debut self-titled album takes elements from disco, glam, dance and pop and re-casts them as the soundtrack to a fourth-dimensional journey through musical space and time. The album crystallises the band's euphoric, hands-in-the-air live show and delivers moments of dance-floor glitter alongside songs that twist storiesthe ordinary and mundane into something magical. That rousing chorus, that hook you can't quite shake, that song you'll be crying into your beer, look and you should find them here.
The Complete Short Stories are a London-based cast of seven that have been charming and blazing their way through a string of dates at some of the capital's legendary indie venues. Led by singer Kerry Adamson, the group has made an art of weaving ribbons of colour and sound into a spectral, other-worldly means of escape from the monotonous daily grind.
We could list their influences in their entirety but you'd only go blind. Satisfy yourselves with the knowledge that between them The Complete Short Stories name check Kate Bush, Orange Juice, Radiohead, Trojan Records, Sonic Youth, Swervedriver and Pink Floyd, and then feel relieved that rather than sounding like a demented combination of the above, the seven piece make fragrantly melodic, disarming music with crunchy sub-orchestral undertones. The band's sound merges infectious female harmonies, driving beats and bass lines with overlapping arrangements of guitars, piano and synth, producing a sound that is at once kaleidoscopically textured yet beautifully simple.
2010 was chock full of shows at venues including ICA (supporting The Clientele),The Borderline, The Lexington, The Wilmington Arms and Madame JoJo's. With a rising reputation for engrossing live performances and a knack for pulling you headfirst into their songs, The Complete Short Stories are set for a big year in 2011! On the back of launching their first single "One Blank Channel" at The Borderline with Label Fandango, the band have recorded their album "Perfectly Still" which is to be released late in April 2011 following the release of the single "Burn" in early April.
Recorded over the space of a year in late night studio sessions, "Perfectly Still" represents the coming together of seven individuals' creativity and devotion. The band members are from differing backgrounds, but have corresponding influences and ambitions distilled in their debut album which crosses numerous genres and styles. "Perfectly Still" is making sense of the everyday on a grand scale...
The group came together as five childhood friends who loved music and called ourselves "Element". All this came together in a little town called Lancing where we formed the band because we thought we were incapable of much else. Josh, Kane and Scott grew up to discover their increasing love of music. Kane first started learning guitar at the age of 14. Thinking he couldn't get far without the companionship and talent of his friends he decided it best to form a band.
A bit of trivia... through later years realising that Josh could sing, Kane bullied him into also learning bass guitar. After a year of Scott hiding his talent of 'scratching' and our increasingly serious attitude we began to have about our music. He took a liking to the idea of joining us on their quest to form the band which was renamed 'The Consoles'.
After countless attempts of finding a suitable drummer Kane stumbled across Nathan, who seemed to be a small boy hiding behind a pair of drum sticks. Kane quickly scooped him up and took him to Josh's house where he was let free on a drum kit. Nathan's keen enthusiasm and energy brought the final missing piece to the band which created a spark and the fire began!
The new band, 'The Consoles', was finally complete on the 25th of April 2008.
Band Members: Josh Ryall - Lead Vocals / Bass; Kane Heaton - Guitar / Vocals; Nathan Brown - Drums / Backing Vocals; Scott Vine - Keyboards / Decks
