Tamworth Herald – 19/08/83
MANY Tamworth bands seem content to stay in the area plugging away at their music in the hope of being ‘noticed’.
But not Bambu Curtain.
Because here is a Tamworth band who have set their aims on the top – and intend to get there.
“We have given ourselves three years to become famous, and we think we can do it,” declares vocalist Rob Bowker.
And as if to prove their serious intentions, Bambu Curtain have already built up a staggering total of 60 songs.
“WE take the whole group very seriously,” said Rob. “We like to practice four times a week and we are waiting until we are really ready before gigging.”
The band, who have been in their present formation for 12 months, categorise themselves as a ‘new’ band and they feel their sound should particularly appeal to fans of Japan and Tears for Fears.
Diverse
But the band are not content just to be labelled as a ‘new romantic’ group.
“Our influences are very diverse and I want our sound to constantly change and be adventurous,” said Rob.
And one of Rob’s own big influences is Tamworth front-man Julian Cope, who he says, he admires greatly.
All the band are aged between 15-18 and the full line-up is: Rob Bowker, vocals; Simon Mills, bass; Anthony Mear, Ray Heath and Daz Boyce, synths and Sam Master, backing vocals.
Tamworth people will get a chance to see this exciting new combo later in the year when they put on a special concert which will include a fashion show and disco.
Fame is the aim for these three members of Bambu Curtain. From left: Rob Bowker, Ray Heath and Simon Mills.
