Not Amused
'We're a young, alternative, 5 piece band just trying to make it big like any other teenage group. Based in one room in the drummer's house were we write, practice and record our songs. We get lots of small gigs around our area which we love doing. We chose our name because then we can say "We are not amused," at the beginning of gigs. We all have different tastes of music which we try to use to our advantage and combine the lot into one tasty package in the form of music.
The question we hate most is "what genre are you?" Because we don't know our selves. We like to think we're unique as far as genres go.'
Vocals - Charlie Raine | Guitar - Gareth Coleman | Bass - Kieran Clifford | Drums - Charlie Ratcliffe | Sax - Jake Steels
Some of us have been involved with BlueJam since we learnt to play music and they have really helped us all get to where we are now by building up our confidence and experience from writing the songs to performing onstage. They've helped us to know what to and where to go just by watching and performing in other BlueJam bands and concerts.
