Artist Biography

Shed Seven were a Britpop band from the UK city York, North Yorkshire who formed in 1990. They were famed for their no nonsense good time tunes and great live shows. Their most popular songs included Chasing Rainbows, Going For Gold and Disco Down.

The band split in December 2003, but not before a farewell tour which culminated in a final show in their hometown of York. The split was amicable and came about due to disagreements with their current record company about the direction they wanted them to take musically. They released a posthumous collection of demos for what would have been their fifth studio album in 2005, which were critically acclaimed.

Frontman Rick Witter has gone on to form 'Rick Witter and The Dukes' (album due in late 2006). Former keyboardist/guitar player Paul Banks is currently writing and recording with his new band Albion, with the remaining members of the band maintaining a very low profile.
