Our James Bond Tribute Band – “The Name Is Band” have been in the recording studio recently laying down a few Bond themes. It has been some four/five years since we last uploaded the band performing the Bond Themes on our website and our sound and performances have improved so much we wanted to record some more to show clients how we sound live now! Whilst there, we were talked into doing a promotional DVD to show our clients what we look like as well as how we sound when we perform at their events. Because we only ever perform as a 10-piece band, with the same band members each time, and ONLY totally live with no backing tracks EVER, we can assure our clients that we sound as good as the recordings each and every time we perform!
The promotional DVD was supposed to be a simple affair and we were expecting them to look like other band promotional DVD recordings we’ve all seen before – good quality, entertaining and showing the band off well. However…… what we got was more! Much, much more! Seeing as Skyfall received an Oscar this year it seems our sound engineer, recording guru, film-maker and lecturer, and his students studying music, film and drama at Weston Sixth Form College, decided between them that our DVD should also look like a Bond Film and equally be deserving of an Oscar!
We can tell you that they did indeed “do what it says on the tin” and have done THE most amazing job! If they are still looking for a director for the next Bond film, seeing as Sam Mendes has stepped aside, then we think we’ve found the perfect candidates for the job! The new promotional James Bond Tribute Band Videos– and the MP3s will be uploaded soon, so watch this space!
