Spring in the Step

2012-02-28T01:26:00.000-08:00

I thought I'd post a photo I took the other day walking back from our new rehearsal space in Lichtenburg. Which, apart from the death metal bands next door, is totally awesome. Spring is on its way, which means new demos....new videos >> new jazzy shirts to play in at concerts >>> and more tours. All coming soon to ease you all in to the summer sun. Will keep you updated with all our adventures and antics. peace .x.

'The Glow'

2012-02-20T03:44:00.000-08:00

Here is the 2nd of many basment demos that we will be spreading across the internet like butter. We recorded this one last week, in the final days of our basment rehearsal room in Mitte. Leaving behind a collection of ash and epmty bottles we've now found a brand new rehearsal space to call our Great White Shark home. We're off to record a brand new demo there now, but while that ferments, here is 'The Glow'. Hope you enjoy...

Laissez Fair PLay

2012-02-18T07:49:00.000-08:00

Woke up this morning to a pug sitting on my head, and a hangover big enough to sink a battleship...but more importantly I woke up to some kind words written by London label and music party promters Laissez Faire. An old friend from back in the day had this to say about Great White Shark:

"The idea of packing your bags and upping sticks to a foreign city is always an appealing one. If the city in question is Berlin, what with its reputation as a haven for the arts and an embracer of hedonistic creativity, it becomes even more so.

Great White Shark are the product of such a shift – three of its members moved over from London a little while back (“to escape their frustrating and repetitive lives”, no less) after dissolving (or putting on hiatus) their previous musical commitments, one of which included the relatively successful indie rock outfit Eight Legs. Whilst there, they met a locally based radio DJ cum drummer, and completed the GWS lineup.

Their music, particularly on their 4-track “Bring Us Back Together” EP (released through Berlin’s Snowhite label back in September) harks back to the mid to late eighties / early nineties, with bands like The Smiths, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Stone Roses and The Brian Jonestown Massacre coming across as potential founding fathers of their neo-psychedelic based sound.

Of course, they put their own spin on things by adding a current indie-pop sensibility to the songs (see the uplifting EP title track in particular, with its Johnny Marr-esque riff) which make Great White Shark a very interesting prospect for 2012. Below is a new ‘basement demo’ of a track called “Forever Cool”, which didn’t appear on the aforementioned EP."

As well as having the privalage of going to one the best festivals in the world this year, we also had the privalage of playing it. On thursday Great White Shark took to the Tripod stage at Glastobury, located between the dragon field and the sacred circle, to perform their latest hits of atmos pop with honorary member Johnny "the tambo man" Chantarasak. We discovered Johnnys talents on wednesday morning outside the ice cream van. He was flying higher than the main stage flags and was playing tamborine like no mans played it before...so we snapped him up, there and then. Heres a pic from the gig:

thanks to the people who made the effort to come all the way over to watch a man in a dress and a hippie on tambo, we appreciate it. Untill next time!...when the stage will be bigger and the dress will be longer.

So...wandering along the street the other day, Vincent Wager was dodging the paparazi. And as his head turned, skipping past the flash of the camera's, he noticed this chikolata donning a home made "fallen in the wrong crowd" GREAT WHITE SHARK bag. He managed to steal away a photo of her chilling on the sidealk as he ducked down the nearest alley.

We all think this is pretty damn cool! Keep making the homemade bags...we love em'.

Great White Shark have some exciting new news...we completed the 3 shows with the magnanimous Art Brut on Saturday, finishing it up at Molotow bar in Hamburg (capital of the mexicana/pizza in a shot glass). And we had an amazing time...hopefully we will re visist the punksters on tour again soon, and maybe find Jasper on a nice bit of comfy pavement.

After the shows we got a couple of good write ups...one from Killing Moon Blog (giving us track of the day!) and the other from an Irish Muic Magazine. Follow the links below to see what people are saying about the great white shark splash:

2011-05-03T08:20:00.000-07:00

Born in Berlin in 2011 Great White Shark was formed when Brit Indie/Punksters Adam Neal, Jim Cubitt and Jack Wharton fled London, sacrificing everything to escape their frustrating and repetitive lives with a unified passion and desire to start something new, beautiful and amazing! Thousands of miles from home in the freezing Berlin winter a bond was formed; an "all for one and one for all" mentality, and it is this trust that inspires and forms the cornerstone and ethos of the band. Jack and Adam (members of the band Eight Legs) instantly set about in recruiting the services of Black Metal Guru and Motor FM DJ Vincent Wager on drums. Believing that people must hear their music the band hit the ground running recording their debut EP @ Berlin's infamous Funkhaus (a former DDR building) with Ed East of Chikinki fame! Great White Shark can be seen on the road in May with none other than cult band "Art Brut"... Eddie Argos (also a new addition to the city) has been quick to jump on the bandwagon declaring Great White Shark as "more than a fish out of cold water"
