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.
