Bauer on BBC radio

Submitted by admin on February 29, 2008 – 10:32 amOne Comment

Manchester’s Bauer just finished up a live session on BBC radio with lead vocalist Greg Matthews and guitarist Mike Reed doing the dirty work in reaction to the release of their single “Starting Again”, which released January 20.

Matthews said,

“I guess the last couple of years we’ve gotten better. Changed the drummer, got a bit bettter. We’ve also really been pushing the melody. Trying to be more melodic.”

And no, there is no connection to Jack Bauer, bauer the German word for farmer or any other variation of the word. Just a name.

They started off the session by talking a bit then playing “Starting Again” off of a studio recording and then they played a live acoustic set of “Connected”, which was from their Bauer EP (not sure where to find this- please comment if you know).

From what I heard, Matthews brought a terrific vocal range and soft delivery across the speakers while Reed didn’t mix things up terribly. Nonetheless, the duo performed without flaw and that can be attributed to a clean sound that doesn’t need much tweaking when recording. Below is the “Starting Again” video.

Bauer has previously played with Snow Patrol, The Ordinary Boys and Stephen Fretwell to name a few groups. Also, check out the “Connected” video or all their stuff on myspace. A good song to get into your head.

    http://www.roughtrade.com/
    though i think it’s out of stock at the moment.
    the new single ‘Starting Again’ can be bought from there as well.
    both worth every penny – these boys are special.
