iiNET BANDS FEATURE - THE BAYS

Over the next few weeks we will be featuring different bands that are playing as part of iiNet Films Afloat at Darling Harbour. This is a series of free events where you can watch cult-classic films on an open-air screen whilst highly acclaimed musicians play live soundtracks.


This week we will be putting the spotlight on UK band The Bays, who will be performing a live improvised soundtrack of Tom Twyker's iconic 1998 film Run Lola Run.


Here are a few facts you may not know about The Bays:
- The band is renowned for improvising every performance and will play different styles of music depending on what they feel fits the atmosphere and the mood - you never know what you're going to get!
- The band first came together for a one-off gig in London in November 1999 - this was a great success and they were booked for more shows immediately.
- A typical set will include several different genres which will meld into each other as a continuous piece of music.
- The Bays have headlined several popular festivals including The Big Chill Festival and the dance tent at the Glastonbury Festival.
- The Bays have no intention of releasing any material in the immediate future, as what they do live is so unique and extraordinary, often feeding off the vibes given from the crowd
- Following on from the success of their sellout one month residency at The Jazz Café in Autumn 2005, The Bays have planned to establish rotating residencies across the UK, running the whole night with their live performances, Bays Soundsystem DJs and special guests.
