  • About:
    The Gadsdens are Jody (vocals), Simon (piano/ keyboards), Barney (guitar), David (drums) and Jihea (Bass).  Jody and Simon formed the band in 2007 after a chance meeting at a friend’s party in Hackney. After discovering similar musical tastes they decided to work together on the score for an independent film that Simon was working on at the time. Their cover of Bronski Beat’s “Small Town Boy” was born and the future of The Gadsdens was cemented.


The band’s efforts have not gone unnoticed. In a short span of time they have  been featured in The Guardian’s essential downloads, picked by the NME as one of the best unsigned acts of 2007, and accepted the invitation to play an acoustic set on one of the BBC’s “Introducing” shows. In August 2009, they were voted winners of ASOS.com’s Unsigned Band competition. Furthermore, one of America’s most popular bloggers, Arjanwrites.com, brought them to the attention of US audiences describing The Sailor Song as " ...An epic slice of wistful Brit pop with its sweeping piano riff, glowing strings and Jody's emotive, vibrato vocals".
