drinkme are fast earning a reputation as one of London’s most dynamic, innovative and exciting new live bands, riding the Permanent Wave with influences as diverse as 80s electronica, 70s punk and ska and 90s Britpop.
The single “manifesto" is already getting props from Xfm and Radio 1. "manifesto" was released on 4th July 2005, and comes backed with a remix by enfant terrible Whitey on the 7" vinyl.
The band formed when guitarist / singer Julian (Whitey, Siobhan Fahey) and bassist / vocalist Ru (Echobelly) began writing tracks together, melding their individual tastes into a tapestry of polished melodies and biting lyrics.
Since then, drinkme have been widely lauded for their powerful live performances, headlining shows at Alan McGee’s Death Disco and The Queen Is Dead clubnights, as well as Sean Mclusky’s Sonic Mook Experiment and Return To New York. They have played gigs alongside The Libertines, The Others and Client to name just a few. They've amassed an impressive fanbase… including MTV2, MTV in Europe and a Japanese distributor.
Hype aside, drinkme have the credentials and more importantly, the class, to make a big impact in 2005. Get on the bandwagon now, and watch them kickstart something special.
