About Me |
|
| ORDER THE ALBUM FROM AMAZON OR PLAY OR HMV Formed autumn 2002 in London. Seamus and Reverend Al had played together in various bands since 1994. The last of these, Evil Knievel, fell apart but not before heavy hitting Barrow-in-Furness born drummer Klaus Von Liksmeinschaft" (Suthy to his mates) was recruited. South African born singer Warren had moved to the UK originally with the aim of doing something with his then band Blind. It didn't go to plan but then, thanks to a mutual friend, he met the Reverend and thus the Blood Island Raiders were born. ORDER THE ALBUM FROM AMAZON OR PLAY OR HMV Since debuting in December '02 the band have played with the cream of heavy music, including; Alabama Thunderpussy, Cathedral, Brant Bjork and Nick Oliveiri, Grand Magus, Electric Wizard, High On Fire, Orange Goblin, Dukes of Nothing, GWAR, Bongzilla, Witchcraft, Volition, Mastodon... to name but a few. ORDER THE ALBUM FROM AMAZON OR PLAY OR HMV To date they have released a self produced EP "For the Sake of Clarity"; A limited edition split 12" with Among The Missing titled "Blessed are the Dead" (only 300 on red vinyl) ; A CD re-issue of "Blessed are the Dead" with extra live tracks from both bands. They also had an exclusive track featured on the cover mounted CD of the Xmas 2005 edition of Terrorizer Magazine (No. 139). ORDER THE ALBUM FROM AMAZON OR PLAY OR HMV In 2006 the band were approached by Bristol based indie label Invada Records, and they are in the process of completing their first full length for them, due summer 2007. ORDER THE ALBUM FROM AMAZON OR PLAY OR HMV In late February 2007 Seamus decided to pursue other avenues, and the Raiders, after much hit and miss, finally found a full time replacement in the shape of Tjay. By all accounts he is the perfect man for the job. ORDER THE ALBUM FROM AMAZON OR PLAY OR HMV ====================================== Special Request: Please do not use the comments section to post your gig info, that is what your page and the bulletin section is for. Gig postings will be removed, but the band will still be your friend... Maybe! N.S.F.L.T.M. |
