The Knott

OK, so here’s our blog. This is the place to find out what we’re doing, how we’re feeling and what’s going on inside those twisted muso minds of ours…

So who are The Knott? The Knott are a band, based in Swindon, Wiltshire in the UK and we play ROCK! Heard it all before? Not like this you haven’t!

We’ve been a band for oooh, 4 weeks now and on Friday 21st (yes, this Friday) we have our first gig. Going on with 13 original songs under our belts (haven’t we been working hard?!) and one cover that I used to do with my previous band.

The Knott are made up of:

• Lee Knott - Vox, guitars, harmonica, penny whistle (yes… penny whistle!) and percussion (well… tambourine really, but it all counts)
• Andy Dickinson - Lead/Rhythm guitars
• Sam Bailey - Drums
• Matt Keeble (me) - Bass/Vox

As I mentioned, we’ve been rehearsing together for about 4 weeks now and we’ve been working HARD. We’ve got one more rehearsal on Thursday before the big night but I think, apart from a few (healthy) first night nerves, we’re all there, we’re all fired up and we’re all gonna kick some proverbial arse!

If you’re in the area and you fancy coming to hear us (and see us) then we’re playing at the Royal Oak in Old Town, Swindon. It’s on the corner of Nelson St & Devizes Road and get there early - it’s going to be RAMMED! It’s free to get in and there’s a ?Ǭ£2 per pint night on too - so, cheap booze, some great new music and your night is sorted my son!!

If you’re not in the area, no worries. We intend to keep this blog going with all of our progress and we’ll post some pictures and sounds (demos mainly) here as we go so you can see and hear what we’re doing.

Once we’ve got some decent recordings, keep an eye out for our Weed tracks on Listen To This! too. In fact, why not head over there now as you’ve done reading this - they’ve got some equally cool stuff. Especially recommended are The Paper Trail and Kashmir.

Anyway - that’s it for now - come back soon and we’ll keep you posted (excuse the pun!)
