Seems So Simple (Acoustic)

Excitement is brewing in The 633 camp with numerous festival dates booked, a charity event at Colchester Arts Centre and the new EP now fully mastered.

Plans are underway for the as yet 'untitled' EP to be release at the start of September 2011. With the summer out of the way we will be able to concentrate on putting maximum effort into promoting the EP and playing plenty of gigs in support of it, we may be coming to a town near you.

Just to whet your appetite and purely because we were bored last night, we decided to do an impromptu stripped down version of Seems So Simple. It's a relatively new song to our live set and has shone as one of the highlights on the EP, we hope you enjoy this version.

Metro Launch Video

If you have not seen the Metro Clothing Launch Video yet, then you can see it here.

The video contains a rough mix of a track called 'My Brothers Keeper'. The track will feature on our eagerly anticipated and as yet unnamed EP, due for release in July 2011.

The Event was great fun and we were really surprised at the great turn out, so thanks to everyone that came down to support us. We followed this with a performance on Friday at The Raging Bull supporting Chris Helme, ex-frontman with The Seahorses.

May's Raging Bull Event

It's that time of the month again (No not 'that' time), it's the second Friday of the month which can only mean one thing... The Raging Bull Club Night.

We have had a busy month which has entailed the mixing of the new EP, as well as a brilliant gig at the launch of Metro Clothing. 120 Scooters turned up for the launch and the whole day has been captured on film.

May's Raging Bull Event is definitely one not to be missed. Headlining the night will be Chris Helme, the voice of popular 90's band The Seahorses. Chris will be playing material from his latest solo album, alongside material from his back catalogue.


Supporting will be Ady Johnson who played the BBC 6 Music Festival last year and who's debut album has received some very shining reviews. We will be completing the line up, with a brand new set to showcase.

The 633 recommends...

And so it arrives, May's installment of 'The 633 recommends...' and this month we have chosen an absolute classic.

The Who - Who’s Next

Try it. Just try not to air drum to this landmark drum filled guitar killing tune monster, that captures the Who at their most fierce and vital peak.

The singles that were released set the blueprint for The Who’s LP, which was their next release after the legendary Live at Leeds album.

Stand out tracks are Won’t Get Fooled Again, a guitar smashing tune with Townsend leaps and exploding drums. Behind Blue Eyes is Pure Magic, There has never been a cover version that highlighted how great the original is… until Limp Bizkit's cover was released. Baba O'Riley is one of those tracks you're not so sure who the track is by at first, until the drums kick in and the chords get a spanking.

The album started life as Townsends rock opera project Life house, the projects failure led him to the point of a suicidal nervous breakdown.

Who’s next was then recorded with a hand full of the abandoned project songs featuring on the album. Townsends has described the track Pure and Easy, which was featured on the 15 track 1995 reissued album, as “the central pivot of Life house”.

Produced by Glyn Johns and the band themselves, Who’s Next charts the bands completion of a journey from a young pop group into rock legends.

If you not tapping your foot, banging on the table or annoying someone in your general vicinity with your outrageous air drum fills by the end of track two Bargain, then make sure your listening to the right album.

The 633 Spotify Playlist

As well as 'The 633 recommends...' we will also be featuring a 3-part Spotify playlist on our blog.


As a band we could easily fill 50 playlists full of The Beatles, Oasis, Led Zep and other well known and classic bands. If you want to listen to that i'm sure you'd rather fetch it out of the CD rack or whack the iPod on. We hope our playlist will give you that feeling you get when you hear a great song for the first time or maybe just one you haven't heard for a while.

We enjoy people talking about music so why not let us know what you think. Tell us if you think it's absolute tripe but also tell us if it has opened your eyes to some new music. Maybe do a track by track critique or even just listen away as you have a BBQ with mates. Whatever you do, we hope you enjoy it!!!
