International One Review
10/11/2008

Gold Soul / International One / Abduction Of Margaret

@ Doncaster Leopard
We have three very different bands this evening, with different styles of music guaranteed to hit the spot. We welcome to the stage four piece punk band, Abduction of Margaret first tonight. The Newcastle band proved a real hit with the audience, managing to keep people's attention throughout. Energetic with a good sense of humour (as you can tell from their name) seems to do them a lot of favours, and have really catchy and well written songs. They all play well together and are so much fun to watch. One band member was just doing the sound effects, which might not sound like much but it really added that extra cool touch to their songs. Definitely ones to watch.
Up next we have a slightly chilled out sound in the name of International One. This five piece from Manchester were definitely the best band of the evening, which included a saxophone player adding originality and a wonderful melodic sound. 'Daggers' was one that the audience loved which had a mellow sound when the acoustic guitar was used. One of the guitarists also used a delay pedal making some songs sound even better and obviously this band have a lot of talent. A great live band to go and see.
Now, I'm not sure if it was simply the fact that people were getting tired by the time Gold Soul performed, but they seemed to lack something. Four piece Indie band from Barnsley sounded very similar to Oasis, maybe it's just their influences, but I get the feeling they need to develop their own style somehow. Although, saying that, 'Hit The Ground Running' was a really cool and catchy song with a great rhythm section, and they have the potential to be a fantastic live band. Maybe the singer needs to look a little less bored and get into it a bit more, or maybe they just need a few more vocal harmonies, I can't put my finger on one particular thing. Constructive criticism aside, all the band members seem really nice guys and could do very well in the future. Go and see them and judge for yourselves.

International One are 'TunATheDay'
01/09/08

Following the single 'Bulletproof' being made free for download on myspace (visit www.myspace.com/ionetheband ), it has been featured on www.TunaTheDay.com

Big Ade says,

"Today's TunA is a bit of indie guitar pop from International One. I think the vocals are reminiscent of Get Cape.Wear Cape.Fly"

There is also a space to leave your comments, so let everyone know what you think


Live Recording
27/08/08

We are recording a new live demo today! 5 new songs for the album that are TOP! Soon as we have a working demo we will upload it here. We will let you know. Don't forget to keep checking the MySpace for updates. Speak soon. The Band.


Today & Tomorrow from Deano
19/08/08

Today, the band realised all matter was merely energy condensed to a slow vibration and that we are all one consciousness exploring itself subjectively, life is a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves. 

We also spent time writing and performing new tracks at our rehearsal room, which we are looking forward to unveiling at the next gig @ "Night and Day" on Saturday 23rd of this month.
 
The Band have high expectations for one track in particular and believe we are fast becoming the band, that the critics and our contemporaries have described us as since we produced Bulletproof with Kasabian producer Dan Swift earlier this year.
 
Furthermore the Band would like to thank everyone who has checked out the MySpace and left so much positive feedback.
 
Our live shows are vastly different now, yet remain true to the core harmony and togetherness supplied on the tracks currently on MySpace.
 
We are writing and producing the best music we have since being signed to Daddy Records in March this year, keep an eye out and check the upcoming gigs and come down and see what we have to offer.
 
Thankyou
 
Deano

Saturday Britannia Stadium with Archbishop Tutu
14/07/08

What a day! Two performances in the stadium and the music video for Inyaniso was played whilst we weren't on stage... during the first performance of Inyaniso to the crowd Archbishop Tutu stood up to watch us from his box with Pele and started to dance! At the end of the song both the Archbishop and Don Mullan punched the air and waved at the band - astounding.

Later in the day the band and the choir met with the Archbishop and Don Mullan privately - exclusive footage of this meeting will be live here on Wednesday (16/07/08) so check back to see it. It's not what you might expect.

In the evening the band played accoustically for a celebrity audience of over 650 and rocked! From Pele, Jimmy Nesbit, Ralf Little to old time footballers and even the unlikely Shayne Ward praised the band.

More footage coming soon... Inyaniso is out to download on 18th July 2008... take part. Watch the official music video www.InternationalOne.co.uk/inyaniso.asp

Spielberg Protégée Phil Hawkins agrees to do the video
20/06/08

Spielberg said of Phil Hawkins, “one of the best up and coming directors” and now he has agreed to work with International One on the promotional video for the forthcoming charity single Inyaniso. The video is being shot in early July in an urban location and has a powerful reveal.


Back in the studio with Dan Swift to record Inyaniso for Archbishop Tutu
14/06/08 - 16/06/08

InyanisoA quick break from the tour while the lads went into a studio in London with producer Dan Swift to record the charity single; motor home parked on the street outside the studio must have looked a strange site for some of the other artists coming and going as it was there 3 days. But who passes up free parking!

You will get to hear the fruits of their labour in mid-July on Mandela’s birthday (18th).


UK Tour
04/06/08 – 26/06/08

Armed with a six berth motor home, some vinyl’s with their logo on and their kick ass new instruments the band headed out to London (ALL OVER), Preston, Birmingham, Cambridge, Sheffield, Leeds and a load of other cities to spread the good word and importantly their awesome new sounds!!!

Well they had a wicked time! Check out the videos and gallery for loads of great stuff!!!
In summary; they met Chris Moyles and cooked him breakfast got called “scallies” and made him laugh, the police turned up at an impromptu performance in Leicester Square, they entertained the massive at an early morning (4am) gig in Soho Square and much more!!!!!


The day the letter came
26/05/08

And what a letter they received.... the lads were inspired by his words and when parts of his letter read “what makes me truly happy is that you are young, an entirely new generation of musicians, who recognise the power of music and song to be a catalyst for good and create necessary change in our world of too much suffering for the poor and weak. Thank you!” You may be able to begin to understand some of the honour they felt to have been given such a momentous opportunity from a amazing man.

In the letter the Archbishop also invited the band to perform on July 12th at the Britannia stadium at an event that both he and Don Mullan will be attending along with legendary footballer Pele to honour goal keeper Gordon Banks’ 70th birthday. The performance is expected to take place to over 10,000 people.


The Showcase
21/05/08

The day of the Champions League Final and Manchester came out top (good for some) but just before that all happened in the Comedy Store in Manchester, International One were setting up for the showcase that would decide if their song Inyaniso (which means “the truth”) would impress the Archbishop’s people and importantly Don Mullan who had also flown in for the day.

Well................................. the lads delivered and all at the showcase were really impressed, loved the lyrics to the song, the sound and Don Mullan loved it so much at the end of their 30 minute set he asked for Inyaniso to be played again – and so the band obliged gracefully.
 


A call from the office of His Grace Archbishop Desmond Tutu
09/05/08

It seems that Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Bloody Sunday author and film producer have been getting into their music as they decided to ask an artist to write, perform and release a single. The Archbishop wants to gift the single and all proceeds to Nelson Mandela and his charity as Archbishop Tutu’s 90th birthday present to his friend. They called Daddy Records about International One and asked if the band would write this song.

The lads were amazed by this opportunity and set about writing a song that they were asked to perform for representatives of the Archbishop at a private showcase in Manchester on the 21st May where if the song was right they would be formally asked to release the song by Archbishop Tutu.
