ABOUT THE BAND

Mellow Rebellion formed in December 06 by two friends James Charlesworth and Nick Gibbons known better to others as Charlie and Gibbo of the extremely successful Lucky Bullet. Following the split from Lucky Bullet, the idea of starting a new venture would fear too hard of a task to compete against the Lucky bullet sound. However, Charlie and Gibbo incidentally fell into writing songs just for fun but to their surprise the response of the public was immense, enough to encourage starting a band. During this period, Charlie was studying a Music course were he came good friends with fellow colleague and drummer Ben Cooper. Ben was asked to play the drums bearing in mind they still needed another member. It wasn’t till a month later when Ben mentioned that he a had an old school mate who was looking for a band. After a little research, the boys agreed that Luke Whittemore was the right man for job with his ability to undertake a lot of vital roles within the band. With the collection of around 20 songs between Charlie and Gibbo and the additional solo ideas by Luke, the band hit the rehearsals immediately with hope of being ready early 07. 3 months into the new year the band come to a halt with the replacements of a new drummer and Bass player. Due to transport issues and work commitments, Ben and Gibbo sadly departed from line up but still remain good friends and are remembered for their antics. During this time where time itself seemed endless, Charlie had been recommended on numerous occasions to check a young drummer going by the name of Ben Haynes. Ben was invited to a rehearsal where he shown great aspiration and his abilities where exactly as his counterparts had alleged. Still in the search for a Bass player, Charlie spotted a likely candidate from his college who was by trade a singer/songwriter/guitarist however; Charlie presented the position to Dan Bodsworth who was more than happy to take up the offer.
