The October Game

Hello, we are The October Game, welcome to our page. We put an album out in July 2006 called Box Of A Billion Lights, the album was predominantly performed and recorded by us at our homes in Bedfordshire, with our friends lending a hand with some additional performances. Here are some things people have said about the album: "Magnificent - A Joy From Start To Finish" - Cool Noise Fanzine "Subtle and slow burning, a great chillout with a dark edge" - Bubblegum Slut Fanzine “The music is complex and rife with delicious subtleties, bittersweet melodies and enticing, almost tidal atmospheres. I immediately fell in love with it” – DR Fanzine "Box of a Billion Lights?" - That's a f**king big box that!" - Noel Gallagher, Oasis “What stands out about Box of a Billion Lights is how well arranged it is. Upon a dark and expansive sound the vocals are strong and measured with image evoking lyrics” – Tasty Fanzine Without a permanent live drummer we played many gigs with a session player following the release of the album. At the beginning of 2007 we embarked on a tour without live drums, instead using drum loops, samples and keyboards to recreate many of the drum and percussion tracks, which were the foundation of the songs from our debut album. This jaunt saw us tour extensively throughout the UK as well as make short trips to both Iceland and Czech Republic, where we were thrilled to see our music received so well. In May 2007 Ollie Taylor joined us, filling that ever-vacant drum seat. It had taken us nearly two years of searching to find Ollie but even in such a short space of time he’s made a huge impact on the band. We’ve been busy working on new material as well as gigging locally over the summer. Here are a couple of snippets from recent live reviews: “Totally absorbing and always compelling. It is beautifully understated and utterly mesmerising. The musicianship allied to some thought-provoking lyrics make it so addictive” – Martin Stapleton, Bedford Esquires “The October Game are one of this areas most enigmatic bands. You'll never forget these huge melodies and the subtle arrangements that are simple perfection. A set by The October Game is a very rewarding experience for audience and band alike, pure and solid passion.” – Bob Mardon, Club85 We are very soon to be releasing our forthcoming single "Concrete (When we were invincible) on iTunes in summer 2008, keep your eyes peeled for more details. Take care Luke, Nick, Ollie and Owen The October Game
