The SEVENTEENTH

BIOGRAPHY:

Formed in 2000 by ex-Weird musicians Greg McSorley (bass), Derek Menmuir (drums) & Paul Smith (vocals / guitar) along with new guitarist Jon Shaw. The Seventeenth recorded three EP singles, and played dates across central Scotland. When Menmuir went off to the United States for a year, Kevin Byrne (drums, ex-ChiliRyder) filled in. Menmuir's visa ran out and he returned just in time for a support slot to Razorlight in Glasgow, before Weird reformed early in 2004. Byrne later went solo. Shaw may later have been the same person who played bass for Las Tuesday.
