Trailer
Trailer officially started in July 2004 and started
gigging in September 2004. The band members are Myke
Grimes, 21 (Guitar/Vocals/Programming), Patrick King,
21 (Bass Guitar) and Phil Aston, 23 (Drums/Percussion/Drum
Machine).
The band was started by Myke and Phil and Paddy was
drafted in on bass by Myke. For a brief time Trailer
had a 2nd guitarist but it didn't work out so that
was the end of that chapter. As a three piece Trailer
came into its own, all three members are hard-working,
dedicated and ambitious for the future ahead. Despite
Myke studying a Music Tech degree in London and Patrick
a Biology degree in Nottingham the band get together
where possible to practice or play gigs with the target
of playing 60 gigs this year.
The stratergy Trailer adapted to was to start in
Coventry playing as often as possible and then eventually
branch out further to visit as many places in the
UK as possible. Holding Trailer back was not having
a CD to be proud of to send to venues in the UK, having
quickly established themselves as a passionate and
exciting live band to watch getting it on record was
not so easy as the first EP showed. With the Chaos
Theory EP the lads should be visiting the four corners
of the country ASAP.
The music is a mixture of everything each other listen
to. Trailer is a rock band inspired by dance music,
atmospherics and great tunes. Live Trailer leave people
wondering how the 'wall of sound' is created with
only 3 members in the band. The music is hard to describe
so have a listen or even better come to a gig and
witness a gig for yourself, you will not be left disapointed.
PRESS:
"ONE OF THE BEST STUDENT BANDS IN THE COUNTRY"
- MEAN FIDDLER IN RELATION TO A STUDENT XMAS SHOWCASE
AT THE GARAGE DEC 04
"This young band opened our STUDENT night at
Christmas and we are delighted to welcome them back
to downstairs for this MONDAY special event. Cool
riffs and excellent musicianship mark out this band
for great things." - MEAN FIDDLER, June 05
"And with local music fans abandoning Radio
One in droves to listen to Kerrang FM, it's perhaps
appropriate that The Phoenix, in Gosford Street, hosts
a Kerrang sponsored night this Monday.
Headlining are energetic, melodic grungesters Keiko,
supported by the intense screamo metal of Montana
and Trailer, the new kids on the block giving Hobo
Exile Hotel and Jesus Deluxe a nudge and telling them
they're not going to get it all their own way in the
world of atmospheric delay." - THE LIMIT (DAYLE
CRUTCHLOW) FOR THE COVENTRY EVENING TELEGRAPH
