Derby's only rock, metal, indie, porn funk band. As each member of the band has widely different influences, we've been compared to Iron Maiden, Joy Division, Nick Cave, Bootsy Collins, The Doors etc. There's a few tracks that can be heard on myspace recorded at Dub:Rek Studios last year. www.myspace.com/menynegategive us a listen feel free to leave any comments

oh we do sound awesome no doubt, but we have a very self indulgent guitarist, who needs no further encouragment!

After playing at The Bell last Wednesday, we've been asked back to play on the 30th April, (always nice to be asked back), not sure who else we're on with.

Just been told we've got a song featured on the Derby Telegraph's website, there's about 6 bands on there from Derbyshire. You can vote for your favourite. Menyne Gate would appreciate your support. It's about half way down the page. Cheers for voting www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/entertainment

i dig both of them...
bring it back.. i think being critical, the tremolo picking gets a bit much, perhaps use of a digital delay(clean repeats) to do the work would smooth things out?.. about 6 repeats.. set with the level high... i thought it was good though!
stairing back at the sun - the cheeky wah'd intro.. AWESOME!.. the singers goin for it more in this 1.. sounding pretty awesome.. nice use of wah on the solo too!... what wah is it?.. guitar and amp?.. on 4 mins and 3... cos of the highs boosted by the wah... it starts to feed back....
i thought maybe go with the feedback, and big up that breakdown riff after it.. then kick in more lead.. then end like that.. rather than end slow and quiet..
but thats just my oppinion!..
how did you record too?.. quite a nice sound!

cheers for giving em a listen, they were just recorded straight off the desk, when we did a gig at the bell last month, our lead guitar plays a michael kelly patriot guitar, out of a peavey valveking. we'll be doing a studio version of bring it back later this year. appreciate the feedback, it's always good to get some constructive criticism

To fill in the blanks I use a Jim Dunlop Crybaby wah as well as the above Michael Kelly / Peavey Valveking setup. Still tweaking the setup and tone for live performances as it's a pretty new amp.
Cheers for giving the tunes a listen. Always nice to hear people's views.
Check us out in June at the Vic Inn as per above.

Cheers to all who came to The Vic the other week, we've just been given a gig at "Out of Town" in Ripley, so if anyone lives out that way your support would be most welcome. We're on with 3 other bands, I haven't got their details as yet.
