The Band - The Good Ship Band
The Band
The Good Ship Band is a rock pop four piece from Tonbridge, Kent, UK. Formed in March 2009, the band have sold over 1000 copies of their debut album, released 6 singles, supported Keane, and have received 11 record deal offers to date; testimony to their relentless gigging throughout the South East and two irresistibly melodic albums. Propelled by the songsmithery of frontman Jez Harley and guitarist/signed songwriter Ed Bingham (NorthStar Music), the band's recent airplay has drawn comparisons with Fleet Floxes, Paolo Nutini and Kings of Leon.
"So damn good it hurts"
"Music for the modern man"
"Do people faint when you tell them you're in The Good Ship Band?"
"Commit and move on"
" Two albums inside a year. So when's Part 3 coming out?" (Soon!)
Simon: It's on the 3 of 4 Ed: What does that mean? Jim: It's gotta groove more Jez: Anyone for tea?
"Nothing gets more hits than t*ts!"
With top bassist James Elliott and session drummer Simon Whiting completing the line-up, the band’s live reputation has resulted in the act being sought out by all corners of the industry. Following a flood of offers, TGSB were approached by film-makers Blindeye Films (Sigur Ros, Bryan Ferry, Eliza Doolittle) and the two parties collaborated to produce a stunning video for live favourite ‘Hometown’. With such momentum, the band released 'Boomerang Girl' followed shortly by the eagerly anticipated second album, 'The Good Ship Band - Part 2’. Part 3 is already on the way...
THE GOOD SHIP BAND - MOST LIKELY TO SAY Simon: "Guys, I've got us a gig - I just don't know when or where it is." Ed: "Why does no-one else want to practise for eight hours straight?" Jim: "I'm not being funny but I've been in this band six years now." Jez: ''Why's my keyboard not working?"
