We have been reviewed by the fantastic Frantic Corduroy website (www.franticcorduroy.com)awarding us a
9/10 for the track Get Busy Living (Or Get Busy Dying)...
'...it's catchy, it's interesting, it's a little dark and sounds like the track was recorded on an old memorex
cassette found under the passenger seat of someone's car... if there was only more of this getting airplay
we'd all have a reason to get out of bed'
Shortly you should also be able to find an interview with the dams on the site too.
Check it out, they are passionate about the local music scene

successful in identifying some good talent and already some of these are in advanced talks with people in the industry.

We promised some big news and it doesn't get much bigger than this for the Dams at the moment.
We have spent this last week filming for a documentary that will be broadcast on Channel 4 at 9pm on a Tuesday
night sometime in April (you can be guaranteed we will keep you updated).
The programme is provisionally called 'Get Your Act Togther' with Hasrvey Goldsmith -
'Think of Kitchen Nightmares; swap food for entertainment, Gordon Ramsey for Harvey Goldsmith and that's "Get
Your Act Together". Harvey Goldsmith has promoted many of the biggest names in music from Pavarotti to the
Rolling Stones. He's also been the mastermind behind global music events like Live Aid and Live 8. He is now
offering his enormous experience and no-nonsense advice to once-successful recording artists whose careers are
in freefall and entertainment businesses whose finances are in serious strife. Harvey will advise on all aspects of
their work including their music, live performance, image and marketing'
We will be appearing in the episode about Deighton's Working Mens Club in Huddersfield and the competition that
We entered called 'Harvey Goldsmith's Club Entertainer of the Year 2007'
To see how we faired in the comp you'll have to watch, we'll let you know exactly when a bit closer to the time
If your in Bradford and want to make it an occassion, Deano at the Delius Pub has already sounded us out about
putting it on the big screen in Delius so hopefully we'll be heading down there, again we'll keep you updated.

TEA TIME SHUFFLE REVIEW - MUSIC GURU SITE
And so another year begins, and another Teatime Shuffle!
Bradford based band Hooverdams opened the first Tea Time Shuffle of this year in style, with afros, cow bells and tweed suits galore. The lead singer
exuded charisma as his legs bounced up and down the stage, almost as if they were made of elastic and not human flesh like the rest of us.
Their sound merged a kind of Franz-Ferdinand-Hives collaboration. Loud, abrasive vocals that were glorified by the demanding mega phone attached
to the singers lips. I got a strong sense that these guys looked the business, everything about their performance, image and stage presence defiantly
screamed ‘record label’! Yet musically it just was not there. Not in their first few songs anyway, it seemed a fun, quirky take on image over
substance, a theme that often runs too strongly.
My somewhat sharp opinion of them changed swiftly after the first few songs. The lead singer’s voice grew that much stronger, having a huge
soulful impact on the band as a whole. The song was mellow (they had thankfully laid the misused cowbell to rest) and displayed levels of creativity
and fresh, funky ideas.
As the bass player jerked his way around the stage, quirkily leaping into the crowd I noticed a tired, grey Hoover perched at the front stage. This I
have to add amused a fair amount of people. The lead singer then announced the final track as ‘Coked up Beauty Queen,’ as he playfully
inserted a drumstick into his afro…
