Seeing as this seems to be a discussion point on Devoted thought I'd start a thread on here.

 

Personally having listened to a few clips this morning I think they give Will a more edgier sound & I've not seen him so energised performing in a long time. :dance: :D :cheer:

 

Interesting post from valr on Devoted.

 

I don't know if anyone recognized Wills new drummer as being Ash Soan.

He plays with "The Producers" who I've seen a few times. He's very well known in the music indusry.

 

 

"Ash Soan is probably the most in demand touring drummer in the country. Formerly of Del Amitri, Ash has roamed the country and rocked arenas all over the world with a clientele that lists like a who’s who of contempory pop music including Sheryl Crow, Blondie, Tom Jones, Lisa Stansfield, Tom McRea to name a few."

Thanks TT, I have to say that I thought the new band were very tuned in to Will on thursday and the guitarist on Will's left was awesome. :D

Thanks for bringing that over TT, especially the info on the new drummer To be honest I think it was about time for a change. I'm not saying anything about Will's past band - they've been with him from the word go, and have been great, but I really think it was becoming stale, and with Will moving to a different level it needed a new band. I haven't heard them yet, apart from snippets on YouTube, but very good reports have been offered up about them.

Thanks TT very interesting info

And a bit more I found about him - be interesting to find out more about the others:

Thanks munchkin. He's no novice is he. :) That's an impressive list this guy has played with, may being international stars.

 

Should be at home this afternoon having played with Oasis there.

I liked them, gave him a fresh new look and somehow I thought they looked 'a bit more Will'

 

I'm rather hoping that they are actually Wills band, its nice to see a rapport build with people you're comfortable with

I've not seen or heard any clips really so can't comment, but I trust Will's judgement

If what I've seen and heard so far is anything to go by, Will is looking very happy and the new band seem to know exactly what Will wants, I also think Will has a lot more control over what he wants to do musically with this band.
