alllies

Ok, ok so Alllies has evolved. What started as the writing project of Mark Aston with contributions coming from KT Tunstall, Luke Bullen, Jack savoretti and others has now officially become a full blown rock band. And we have to say we are quite liking it so far. As the new tracks demonstrate we are now out to provide a good old punch up the rock brackett. So what the f**k happened?? Well in April 2007 and under some duress Mark went into a rehearsal room with long time friend Adam King on drums and then complete stranger Alex Searle on bass. As a consequence of this musical knock about they immediately booked a day in the studio with legendary record producer and all round good egg Cameron Craig. A day or so before the recording session Mark was given the number of this "blinding" guitar player Simon Johnson who after a little gentle persuasion agreed to pop along and ave a little play. And play they did. A little over 3 hours later and the basic tracks for Belly Up, No Angel and The Rest Will Come were completed. With a tiny bit of extra tinkering and some sterling keyboard parts from Tom Bailey.voila! Alllies the rock band.get in. With a grand total of 2 rehearsals and five songs under their collective belts they played their first gig in London Village to a full and contented house in May. With a few more rehearsals another four tracks were recorded with even better results. After a break for various summer commitments the boys are back to work in the rehearsal room ready for a string of London dates in November.watch this space.
