Artist History Founder members of "Alter Ego":Philip, Jonathan and Markwere joined by Paul two years ago.Initially we performed together covering classic 70's music(Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie etc.)and some of our own compositionsWe all share a common interest in modern bands, for exampleRadiohead, Mansun and Suede.We quickly realised our future was not performing as a cover band and concentrated on writing and performing our own material.Our performances in many venues in the Leeds areahave developed our live sound. We have successfulysupported and headlined at The Dutchess, The Cockpitand The Josephs Well-all major venues for new bands.In October, we changed our name to Beat Route 62as we felt it better reflected our style of music.Our first demo. C.D. was recorded in January 1999,and quickly sold out. Our second C.D. was recordedin August 1999, and is recieving interest from fansand Radio stations(it was aired in November1999 on Radio Aire F.M)Unfortunately in January 2000,Mark left the band due to his inability to meet the comittment and we welcomed 18 year old Ben to our band.Ben is a very talented drummer, and we are all very pleased and excited about our progress so far!
