Eureka Machines are a British pop-rock band based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, who formed in 2007.〔Vibrations Magazine Interview, March 2008〕 The band consists of Chris Catalyst (also of The Sisters of Mercy〔(Sisters of Mercy Website ) official biography〕 and The God Damn Whores) on lead vocals & guitar, Davros (aka Dave) on guitar & backing vocals, Pete Human on bass guitar & backing vocals and Wayne Insane on drums.〔(Leeds Music Scene ) review, January 2008〕 Described as "power pop" by The Sun〔The Sun, album review 16 August 2008〕 and Classic Rock magazine,〔(Classic Rock Website ) Track of the day〕 they are something of a cottage industry, putting out their own records and being self-managing and self-promoting〔Screaming Tarts interview, 8 May 2009〕 while also touring and gaining press coverage and airplay at a national level.〔(BBC artist profile )〕 ==Formation and origins== Eureka Machines began with Chris asking Wayne to join but since Wayne was still committed to his previous band,〔 Chris had to wait for him to become available before they could start working together in 2007 on early tracks.〔Leeds Guide, August 2008〕 Some of these tracks then appeared on MySpace in August 2007.〔Eureka Machines Myspace, first blog entry regarding demos 12 August 2007〕 Dave/Davros and then Steve Morricone (also of The Scaramanga Six) were invited to join the band.〔Sandman Magazine, May 2008〕 All 4 members had previously been in other local, and in some cases more well-known acts. Chris Catalyst is a current member of The Sisters of Mercy,〔The Sun, album review of Do or Die, August 2008〕 The God Damn Whores and was previously in AntiProduct, The Scaramanga Six, The Dead Pets, Catylyst (with 2 'y's)〔 and used to do a solo act as Robochrist which he has described as being currently on indefinite hold.〔Sphere Magazine Interview, 15 January 2010〕 Steve Morricone is a founding member of The Scaramanga Six and also plays with Kava Kava and Being 747. Wayne Insane had previously been in Vatican Jet and Orka.〔No Title Magazine, March 2009〕 Dave had previously played alongside Chris in Catylyst〔 but had then taken a break from music before being invited back to join Eureka Machines. The band played their debut gig supporting Forward Russia at the Brudenell Social Club on 14 December 2007 (a line-up which also included The Scaramanga Six).〔(Leeds Music Scene ) Gig listing for 14/12/07〕 Further local gigs followed, with 3-track demo CDs being sold at the shows.〔(Leeds Music Scene ) demo review, 6 January 2008〕 From the start they had a uniform appearance onstage, wearing black suits with white ties and matching T.U.K. shoes. Chris has described this as being part of the act: "so many bands nowadays look the same. I wanted to stand out from that."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eureka Machines」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
