About Me |
|
| the blueskies are mike fawcett, kelwen cooke, darius alexander and ben chandler. formed in late 2006 and based in brighton, we make upbeat electropop/indie type stuff.
we do remixes and club tracks under the name blueskies at night. "Brighton based The Blueskies have put together a demo EP so skillfully produced it puts many an acts finished products to shame...Each track is instantly affecting, irresistably catchy and oddly uplifting despite the sometimes dark lyrical content." Latest 7 Magazine, 2008 "The Blueskies' blend of upbeat electro-driven indie-pop jumped out at us on first listen of this track...This hints at a band with a knack for sharp songwriting and an ear for a catchy tune, so it's little wonder that label interest is building nicely."
