The Fevers [+]

£4 Entry

The Fevers were formed in 2006 as a four piece – vocals, 2 guitars, bass and drums. All of us had previously formed a part of various bands within the Sheffield area. Three years of gigs in Sheffield proved fruitful in creating a sound where punk harshness meets a melange of spacious guitars, underpinned by a blues-funk rhythm section. After a gig free spell towards the end of 2008, we began 2009 with a busy schedule including the release of the single “Alright”, followed by a number of live dates in the UK. During the subsequent tour, we lost our bass player due to “musical differences”!?! However this has not deterred us from continuing our musical tradition and Kev, our singer and rhythm guitarist, has simply switched to playing bass and singing in our new 3 piece line up. We are embracing the new and interesting possibilities of the dynamic created by this new lineup as we search for anyone that would like to join us in our quest!
