Colvex are a 3 piece
band who tirelessly churn out punchy melodic rock with
twists of trad jazz and rockabilly thrown in for added
thrills.
It all started back in 2001 when singer/ songwriter and
guitarist Simon Herriott asked drummer Gavin
Richardson, his old
bandmate from The Secrets (a Watford based band, locally
popular in the 90s) to join him in his new project
...Colvex. The lineup was completed by South African
bassist Scott Bremner and the three formed a close
bond as not only impactful musicians, but also as firm
friends.
Colvex quickly became one of the hottest draws on
the London live circuit, turning in some sensational
live shows and instantly recognisable from their
sharp-dressed 'Three Guys In Ties' look. Venues on
the Colvex itinerary included The
Cobden Club, The
Borderline and WestOneFour. In 2004, the band were
a main attraction at the City Showcase event in the
West End, turning in a memorable acoustic set on
Carnaby Street.
2005 saw Colvex expand as they took
on the services of keyboardist Adam
Rackham for their
concerts which were by now attracting much attention.
