The Bordellos

The Bordellos

The Bordellos are an English band based in Merseyside. When they first formed in 2004, they were:

Vinny Oates - Keyboards / Guitar

Jeff Parr - Guitar / Vocals

Antony Shea - Percussion / Vocals

Brian Shea - Guitar / Vocals

Mike Simm - Drums

Gary Storey - Bass

The core of the songs were written by Brian Shea with contributions musically from Parr, Oates and Storey. In 2005, Oates and Parr left around the time their first releases were made, with Prince Of Discontent featured on an Upcoming Bands compilation and their debut single Scream released in a download only format. Mike Simm left the band in December of the same year to pursue ska.

In April 2006, Arthur Lee (a tribute to Love frontman of the same name) was released with a spilt single with Perfect Blue later on in the year (November). This was released around the same time as their debut album, Songs For Swinging Stalkers, at first a download only LP but later released in March of this year on CD from Brutarian Records.

In April 2007, their second album Meet The Bordellos was released, formed from material recorded with the original core lineup and also as a three piece on four tracks. Around this time Brian's son Dan joined the band on keyboards and additional percussion. The Glorybound EP was released on Northern Star in November 2007. The band's lineup as of 2008 is:

"'Antony Shea - Percussion / Vocals / Harmonica

Brian Shea - Guitar / Vocals

Daniel Shea - Keyboards / Vocals

Gary Storey - Bass / Additional Guitar"'

The band's three singers are all related, with Antony the brother of Brian and also Dan's uncle. They are certainly an unusual band, with Dan Shea being 16 at time of writing and the youngest with Antony Shea 30 years older. At time of writing they are believed to be working on a third album, and are amassing quite a cult following with radio play on underground and college American radio. However, in their country of birth they are sadly overlooked.
