Player 1 are a recently surfaced band from York, England. Formed in the spring of 2005, they have had to suffer a string of bad luck when it came to bass players, preventing them from gigging until fairly recently. The two guitarists (David and Charlie) and the drummer at the time (Jim) persevered through this difficult period though, and as well as increasing their collection of material, they really got to grips with their unique sound… With the recent recording of their demo, the band hopes to start pushing their live performances, when the true magic of what they’re about comes to light.

9Stone Roses BarFri,2nd May
Its been a while since I've seen player1 live, and what better opportunity than the free gig at the stone roses. Always a top place to head for on a Friday night - York's dedicated Indie bar is now open every night until 2am and have DJs following the live bands on Fridays and Saturdays,with a vibrant youthful crowd always on show. Player1 are perfectly suited to the stone roses bar - in an Indie sense they are what Uri gelar is to Michael Jackson - one conjures up Indie magic, the other is a kiddie fiddler... After a couple of worthy support acts, Player1 kicked off about 10.30. Particular tracks that stood out were surrender, rain cloud, vampire and the wonderful instrumental which is such a trademark of Player1 live. Also there must be mention of the best sounding drum kit this side of Stewart Copeland's basement. All in all a set which is hard to fault - great material , tight performing and energetic delivery, Player1 are a guaranteed crowd pleaser - check them out soon you won't be disappointed.. - yorknights
