The VALENTINES
BIOGRAPHY:
Local
act formed in February 2007 by Brian Sharp (vocals / guitar), Andrew Dixon (vocals
/ guitar, also with Lost & Found),
Scott McGregor (bass / vocals, also with Strawberry
Fields) & Ross Kerry (drums / vocals). Within a month they had played
their first date at Grubowskis in Larbert. McGregor suffered from a perforated
ear drum and was soon replaced by Craig Turnbull (bass / guitar / vocals,
also with Lost & Found
& Sentinal). They were soon also
joined by another ex-Lost & Found
/ Sentinal member, Craig Alston (guitar).
In early 2008 they reached the final of the Council run Battle Of The Bands, which
they won after a gig at the Glasgow Barrowlands. Kerry & McGregor also formed
Domestic Supermen in 2008.
Alston then left the band, forming King
Crazy, with whom Turnbull also played. The band split up in Spring 2009, with
Dixon forming an acoustic outfit with Andrew Sayers (vocals / guitar) and Kerry
joining Casino.
2010 saw the band get back together, with a line-up of Dixon, Kerry, Turnbull & Brian Sharp (vocals / bass). This line-up recorded three songs in Cumbernauld in April, before Turnbull formed Unit 7.
