Eureka Machines

Eureka Machines formed in late 2007 and feature guitars and drums and voices playing songs with verses, choruses and middle 8s.

Singer/guitarist Chris Catalyst writes the tunes, then whistles them to the others. Chris has played in various bands, from rock overlords The Sisters Of Mercy, to Leeds punk'n'roll legends The Dead Pets, to glam metal kings AntiProduct (featuring Alex Kane out of Life, Sex And Death and Clam Abuse) to new-wave oddballs The God Damn Whores (featuring Jon Poole of Cardiacs and the Wildhearts, and Jase Edwards of Wolfsbane and Ginger and the Sonic Circus). He's also played alongside Ginger of the Wildhearts, Willie Dowling of Jackdaw4/Honeycrack/Duran Duran (!), various members of Kaiser Chiefs, Forward Russia, Mr Shiraz and Napoleon IIIrd. Bobby Ball of 'comedy' duo Cannon And Ball once called him 'last of the mohicans'. And Crispian Frigging Mills out of Kula Frigging Shaker once accused him of stealing his minidisc player.

'I once saw the original Eureka Machine at a museum; a 19th century invention capable of composing random verse, music and an 'abstract visual display'. I've got a feeling that behind this knowing nod to randomness, these boys have a far clearer idea of what they're doing. And in fact, if someone had slipped Archimedes this disc back in the day then he'd probably have given the bath a miss, only to later be found screaming Eureka back at the speakers instead.' - Alexander Rennie, www.leedsmusicscene.co.uk
