Chewy in action at the Suffolk Sessions

Kerbslider

Kerbslider follow up a momentous first year of internationally lauded gigs in the UK and the USA and winning BBC Suffolk Album of the Year with an intimate acoustic set in the BBC Suffolk studios.

With core band influences from the Beatles and Hendrix to the Foo Fighters and Audioslave, Kerbslider came together after the four musicians had been knocking around on the Ipswich music scene for a number of years, eventually forming Kerbslider as a "fresh new project" in 2005.

Bod, Chewy, Ian and Garfy - Kerbslider

The name came from one of lead singer Chewy's "random moments" and has paid off with many American radio and podcasting networks getting involved with the band, so much so that their first tour out there in the summer of 2007 is already all set up.

They hope to pick up on the interest generated by being playlisted on over 60 radio station in the States.

This acoustic set enables the band to essentially become their own support band, giving them a chance to explore different styles and songs that might not be suited to a heavier, electric sound.

With new recordings due in the next couple of months, an American tour and a brand new acoustic set, the future certainly looks bright for Kerbslider. Enjoy this intimate performance, recorded for Stephen Foster's Drivetime show, before Chewy, Ian, Bod and Garfy leave Suffolk for the lure of America.
