Artist History
You Are Here were formed on New Years Day 2000 by Tim Owen (guitars) and Mark Hawkins (vocals). Coupling Tims experiences from his previous band (including support slots with Girls Against Boys, Carter USM and Brainiac) and the fresh ideas of Mark, the band started work on writing their set and building a strong following through their website (which receives over 2000 hits a month).
You Are Here quickly made their mark with a string of exciting live shows (including Londons Bull & Gate, Upstairs at the Garage, Bristols Fleece and Falmouths Pirate) and a stunning 3-track CD single, Not a Summer Song, which kept them at No.1 on the ContactaBand.com website for about 3 months. Tracks from this release were used in two films and the title track is to be released on a compilation album in early 2002.
The tracks from this CD single now pale in comparison to You Are Heres ever improving live set. Winter 2001 has seen the band working on new material and studio time is booked for early 2002 for the recording of a second 3-track CD single. The release of this CD will coincide with a number of live shows (both electric and acoustic) in the UK, and possibly further afield.
