THE BERRIEZ

The Berriez met at Taylor High School where all five members tried hard to attend. They formed just after leaving and have been writing, recording and gigging ever since, packing out every new music venue in and around central Scotland on their merry way. Singing in their own accents and putting it together with great melodies and stories, the band has a snowballing fan base throughout Scotland (as well as the internet!). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



With a tribe of local supporters firmly established in Motherwell’s Starka Bar in 2005 (cue Berriez! Berriez! Berriez! chant), 2006 saw XFM hop on the Berriez bandwagon also, as well as phenomenal headline shows in King Tut’s, Barfly and The Renfrew Ferry to name a few. 2007 saw the boys step up another level to play a T-Break showcase gig in Edinburgh’s Liquid Rooms in association with T in the Park and Radio 1 as well as gain more support from radio and the press. Currently previewing new live songs, recording an EP and embarking on another gigging schedule, the boys are still hard at work.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



With an enigmatic guitarist, a rhythm section who are as mad as each other and even a pair of bickering siblings thrown in, The Berriez not only tick all your favourite indie boxes but offer you an honest freshness through their sizeable catalogue of poetic and melodic pop songs. Songs brought to you by a band which boasts 3 composers, 4 lyricists, 2 vocalists and the best young drummer you’re likely to see. Never a band short of ideas or the willingness to entertain, don’t be surprised if you’re chanting Berriez! Berriez! Berriez! before long.
