Sound

Bootstrap is primarily a live band. Taking there notes from the old rock n roll and garage bands, when it was all about the live show. They aim to put on that gig you want a live band to do. It's about getting a beat, a rhythm, building it up, up, up and taking it down, down, down. Its about not forgetting the audience. Its not often you can dance to band with a lap steel slide or watch a bassist playing lead lines, but with Bootstrap this logic is just fitted as standard.

Line-up

Ambitions of World Domination?

No, not really. Bootstrap is made up of four guys who've already gigged the usual old haunts. It's the weirder gigs that get them out of bed. Whether its playing live on the radio in the Scilly Isles, 500 people in a 17th Century barn, a funeral wake, an open mike in New York, maybe three gigs in a night. This is what turns them on. âWe don't do an exterme amount of gigs,â ponders the lead singer. âIt kinda takes a lot out of us. We prefer playing to a rabid audience occasionally or the strange gig no-one else would. Find an audience, shake em up and spin em about. Thats kinda what we're in it for.â

Bootstrap is also part of the successful Subsiren club night, bringing bizarre and strangely beautiful bands to Aylesbury that you just can't see anywhere else.

Cecille is released on Bootstrap's own label Viva Dang.
