THE CHAIRMEN & THE ARCADIAN KICKS

The Chairmen

THE CHAIRMEN are one of Leicesters outstanding rock bands. Their five band members discharge a stream of catchy and highly polished songs. They know how to work an audience and there is always a great sense of occasion when they play a gig - (Arts In Leicestershire)

THE ARCADIAN KICKS are the result of five different elements and characters colliding to create a soulful and upbeat sound. The Band came together during their school years, and after ploughing through the Birmingham scene moved out and hit London, Manchester, Scotland and Liverpool. Which attracted the attention of Charlatans drummer Jon Brookes...after seeing the band live he decided to set up a management company with Ian Light (ex - Virgin records) and to guide the band to stardom

Birmingham Band City Hero are one of the most exciting Midlands bands we have found in a long time. Their spine tingling songs make their appearance at the Shed a must for lovers of sizzling hard rock, nu metal. Some of the best vocals I have heard for a long time and the arrangements are top quality. You just got to hear these guys play live.
