Bare Threads was born in August 2007 out of a love of music, djing, dancing and festivals, with the band wanting to create music that prolonged the dancing and festival spirit long after the Summer was over. Making the most of their musical education provided by years of digging in the crates (two of the group are djs) and listening to all sorts the band holed up in the studio in a rewarding collaboration. REVIEWS: "just back from the studio with three new recordings. Most promising is the rather fine 'Paint A Smile', with its St Etienne recalling pop snap" Venue Magazine, July 2008 "Bare Threads magically mixed a bucketful of...influences. Jo... impressed me throughout with her presence" Bristol Uploaded Session Thekla 25th June "Extremely proficient soulful blues with funk and jazz influences. Definitely a band you can shake your... well, whatever... to. Sassy vocals and itchy-fingered bass weave in and out of choppy guitars and shuffling drums" Bandman 2008 "Bare Threads...delighted all with their clean hustle and bustle. In fact, within the first few seconds the band had a real sharp togetherness that, among their contemporaries is somewhat rare." Sam Bonham,Epigram "Bare Threads are currently rising up at a stupendous pace. Two of the group are certified crate diggers and the love of good music through the years shines through with a sound that draws from the past and the present. I'm seriously expecting big things from this band." Junior Earfuzz blog http://www.earfuzz.com/archive/2008_01_01_archive.html
