"April 2001 saw the formation of Spree who
soon began to cause a storm. Even on paper,
Spree seem like a good proposition." Taken from Knowledge Magazine (Dec 2002).
Spree are a three
piece drum and bass band consisting of Simon Sheldon, Antoine Revoire
and Suzanne Savage. Spree were formed from the ashes of Solarise, who
as a prolific live
act played as far a field as the first ever Drum and Bass festival,
France.
The three came together purely by chance, a meeting of like minded
souls on a musical journey
merging the open endedness and beauty of Jazz with the new beat
patterns of drum and bass
to create their own unique laid back yet powerful energising sound.
In a short amount of time Spree have established themselves as rising
players within the local
club and music scene and March 2002 saw them make their first visit
stateside performing at
the prestigious SXSW festival Austin, Texas.
2003 also saw Spree
nominated 'Best Live Act' at the presitgous Knowledge Awards.
