Outsider is 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, Alice in Chains, Ozzy Ozbourne, Jimi Hendrix, Thin Lizzy, UFO, ZZ Top, Motorhead, Free, 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). Andy’s 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 2009 having just released their new album “Three”.
