Men in Caves are a Leamington/Coventry based band featuring Pete Canning (Drums, Vocals), Ross More (Bass, Vocals) and Tom Brindle (Vocals, Guitars). As a 3-piece, their stripped down sound allows the strength of the songs to shine. With influences embracing a spectrum of genres; powerful, chunky, melodic sounds led by distinctive vocals are what Men in Caves are about.
Band titbits:
Tom is currently an archaeologist. He likes muddy holes and hidden temples. Tom also likes to mimic 1960s rock icons in front of mirrors. Parts of his face do not reflect. It is rumoured that Tom can shatter street lamps with his stare.
His dislikes include spiders, wearing suits and Ross phoning him up pretending to be important members of the Record Industry. An interesting fact: Brindle is a place in Lancashire, a colour, and is also a type of Indian Aubergine.
Ross currently enjoys a low profile job within the music industry (aside from his role in Men in Caves). He dislikes sobriety. He likes drinking games, elaborate birthday celebrations and phoning Tom up pretending to be important members of the Record Industry.
An interesting fact: Whilst travelling in Laos Ross mistakenly got onto a bus driven by local drugs and weapons smugglers, thinking it was his coach. This is true. Luckily for Men in Caves he lived to tell the tale. (Some of the drug dealers are now on the mailing list).
Pete is currently a molecular biologist, or a nuclear physicist or some other sort of scientist so important and top secret that Tom and Ross aren’t quite sure what he does. Despite such elevations, it is his life ambition to own a teashop and some cats. An interesting fact: Pete is by far the tallest member of the band, a giant at 6 ft 7½. There was talk of lowering him into a trench before each gig to create the illusion that he is the same height as the others. However, EU health & safety laws currently prohibit this.
