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.
