Eliza and the Bear promote brand new album ahead of Birmingham show
They took their name from a poem written by Eleanor Rees - Eliza and the Bear formed in London in 2011 and are on the road to promote their debut, self-titled album.
The five bandmembers are James Kellegher (lead vocals, guitar), Martin Dukelow (guitar), Chris Brand (bass guitar), Paul Kevin Jackson (drums) and Callie Noakes (keyboards) and they're getting used to life in a rock'n'roll band.
"You're tired 24/7 except when you play a show and you're on a massive adrenaline high at 11pm and party till 1 but then you're up at 8 again. The best part is playing shows now they're all picking up and going wild," James said.
Callie added: "Our favourite thing to do is university summer balls. We get paid and to turn up and drink beer and play a half an hour set to a room full of people who probably don't know you but are up for a good time and go wild anyway. We sometimes do Oxford and Cambridge and they turn up in top hats and seeing them lose it and go wild is quality."
