About
Concrete Spirit are a three piece band from the picturesque South Wales valleys. We use a range of electronic and real instruments to create and produce original songs, often with deep and emotional lyrics.
Steve Pappa Bear
|
Musical genius in residence....Steve Pappa Bear has the incredibly annoying ability of being able to play pretty much any instrument that you put in front of him. If he can't already play it, give him a few minutes and he'll figure out how to.
And he will also do it sickeningly well. While musically Country is his first love (check out his hard rocking Country band The Crippled Hillbillies) this six foot six, grizzly old hillbilly, can and will turn his hand to any style of music. |
Kie
|
Vocals, lyrics, occasional 'guitar twanger', dragon tamer and kettle operator...Kie has a penchant for reptiles and is owned by a Bearded Dragon, a Corn Snake, a Blue Tongue Skink, a Royal Python, a Central American Boa and a Common Boa. If James’s guitar collection didn’t take up so much room, she would definitely have more scaley babies.
Kie likes anything creative, and particularly enjoys sculpting, drawing and pyrography (various examples of her art work can be found here). She REALLY likes to sing - and also does vocals and lyrics for The After (which incidentally has a totally different vibe from Concrete Spirit). She also makes great coffee and even better cakes. |
James
|
Sound 'Fiddler' and occasional bassist...Computer programmer by day and innovative sound technician by night... James is in his element mixing tracks together that no one else particularly thought would work. Smug should probably be his middle name....
He has an ever growing collection of musical paraphernalia which seems to have a direct correlation with his ever dwindling bank account... He’s currently also working on a number of other interesting projects. Oh, and he plays bass guitar too. |
