The Band Waken were formed
in Blackpool in September 2002 by original band member Daz and former band
member Oggie. They advertised for other band members in Tower
Music and Paul joined the band. Swiftly other band members joined Dave in
October 2002 and Jay in early 2003. They began writing their own material
straight away, and managed to land their first gig a few months later
in April 2003 with the group Perfect Riot at local club Jenx. Sadly
due to other commitments Oggie had to leave the band in May 2003 so the race
was on to replace their vocalist. After auditioning many singers they
finally realised that the cutting edge talented singer that they had been
looking for was right under their noses and guitarist Dave took over the
vocals in July 2003. Since their first gig in 2003 the band have gone
from strength to strength and have played many gigs in and around Blackpool,
most notably at The Grand Theatre Studio with Lotus Circle (with the record
for the highest bar takings) and at The Winter Gardens Pavilion Theatre the
gig was for charity and was aptly named Tsunamaid. Waken produced
their first live CD and DVD at The Grand Theatre Studio in June 2004 and
'Not Alone' their EP will be available in April/May of this year. Now, Waken have a good following around Blackpool Here is a little more insight into each of the band members . . . . .
