The Van Dams (l-r): Arran (vocals), Luc (bass/vocals), Paul (guitar/vocals), Liam (guitar/vocals).
Tonight I was joined in the studio by The Van Dams. The fivesome (also featuring drummer Alex) formed late last year and are planning to release their first recordings in September. They can next be seen live at the Railway Hotel in Southend this Friday (27th), followed by a set at Nambucca on Holloway Road on Saturday (28th). The band can be found on Facebook and Twitter.

We also heard the Creative Session from our good buddies My Heroine, recorded at the Brentwood centre back in May. The band are playing Bristol and Wales next week, and can next be seen locally when they play the Inflamed Stage at the Uproar Mega Festival in Upminster on September 2nd. Keep up with them at www.myheroineofficial.com.
