Outsider
are a three piece Heavy Rock band based near Bristol.
Andy
Sayers Lead Guitar & Vocals
Neil
Phillips Drums
Alex
Price Bass Guitar
Outsider are comfortable playing a complete set of their own material at show
case gigs such as the Fleece and Firkin or Louisiana, but can also play a
full set of covers for pub gigs. More
often than not, however, the set is made up of a mixture of both covers and
originals.
Covers
played include songs by Black Sabbath, Metallica, Diamond Head, Iron Maiden,
Megadeath, Ozzy Ozbourne, Jimi Hendrix, Thin Lizzy, UFO, ZZ Top, Motorhead,
Free, Alice in Chains, Cream, etc
.
The bands
set can therefore be varied to suit the venue/audience.
The band was formed in January 1998.
The original line up included Andy Sayers (Lead Guitar & Vocals),
Keith Townsend (Drums) and fellow founder member Andy (Jock) Jamieson (Lead
Guitar). Andys previous bands
included Traitors Gate
and Zenith. Outsider was joined by
Dave Williams on Bass Guitar in September 1998, some 4 weeks before their
first gig.
Various changes were made to the line up of the band throughout the period
from 2000 to 2002 with both Terry Anderson (Guitar) and Pete Brierton (Bass)
helping to keep the band going. In
March 2002 Neil Phillips (Drums) and Dan Cable (Guitar) joined the band. Dave Werrett (Bass Guitar) joined in May
2003, just two weeks before his debut gig.
Early in
2007 the current line up of the band got together.
The band
are looking forward to what looks like another very busy period of gigging
throughout the rest of 2008 and the recording of a new album is about to
start.
