Introducing: The Nightswimmers

Leeds quartet set sights on the stars…

YOUR NAME: Jamie, James, Ammaron, Christian.
BAND NAME: The Nightswimmers.
WHAT DO YOU DO/PLAY? Vocal (Jamie), Guitar (Jamie, Ammaron), Bass, (Christian) Keys (James).
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TOGETHER AS A BAND? 2 Years.

GIVE US 3 REASONS WHY WE SHOULD TRACK DOWN, LISTEN AND DISCOVER YOUR MUSIC?
1. No one else is doing it like this.
2. We’re selling out shows around Yorkshire.
3. Because we want to know what you think!

WHERE DO YOU SOUND BEST – FESTIVAL, CLUB, BEDROOM – OR SOMEWHERE ELSE?
On a stage with the volume cranked to 10!

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST MUSIC PURCHASE?
Probably the Hercules soundtrack.

SO, WHEN IT ALL GOES RIGHT AND YOU’VE GOT A HUGE QUEUE OF HANGERS-ON AND A RIDICULOUS MANSION, WHAT WILL BE YOUR BIGGEST INDULGENCE, MUSICAL OR OTHERWISE?
An unlimited supply of Yorkshire tea! Maybe buy a lake or something too.

SO, WHEN IT ALL GOES WRONG AND YOU’VE ACRIMONIOUSLY BROKEN UP CITING HUGE MUSICAL DIFFERENCES, WHAT DO YOU FALL BACK ON?
Netflix. And when the boredom sets in, inevitably another band…

CITE SOME INTER-BAND MUSICAL DIFFERENCES…
Jamie loves Rock, James loves Pop. Christian and Jamie Love Pop-Punk. Ammaron and James prefer older stuff. We love the tension though.

WHO ARE YORKSHIRE’S FINEST IN CULTURE, SPORT AND MUSIC?
The puddings are definitely our finest export! Otherwise for Jamie, it’s got to be Leeds United.

NAME YOUR SUPERGROUP – WHO’S PLAYING WHAT, WHO’S ON VOCALS AND WHO’S YOUR BEZ?
To quote Peep Show “Blair on Guitar, Bono on Vocals, Clinton on Sax”… but seriously that’s a tough one. Maybe Elton John on Piano, Brian May on Guitar and Phil Collins on drums. An all GB supergroup!

GO SEE THIS FILM: The Matrix.
GO READ THIS BOOK: Brave New World.
GREAT LOST BAND/ARTIST: We’d be here all day… we’ve lost so many talents over the years.
WOULDN’T BE CAUGHT DEAD SUPPORTING: We can’t be hating on other bands!
LONDON, L.A OR LEEDS?: LEEDS LEEDS LEEDS (or maybe L.A), actually, definitely L.A.

AND FINALLY… AS YOU LEAVE THE STAGE, WHAT ARE YOUR PARTING WORDS?
To the crowd: “Thank you and good night”
To each other: “Great gig guys, next ones got to be better though…” then the surgical analysis sets in.
