Tiny Blue Children

Tiny Blue Children have been playing the live circuit for a couple of years now, building up a large loyal Birmingham following, original members Rob Houghton and Gareth Jones, are joined by guitarist Ben Alexander, drummer Dean Cook & bassist Nick Smith.
The core of the band met through school, some of the band have also had success.

Before joining tinybluechildren, Dean Cook was in an 80s rock band BRIAR who were signed to various major labels including CBS/Columbia, Epic and A&M.

The band have so far put out 2 EP's plus a full album titled "The Blue Room" thru their MP3 website www.mp3.com/tinybluechildren "The Blue Room" is packed full of great power pop songs such as "Stronger" & "Wish".

The band have recently been turning the heads of various major & indie labels.

The last 12 months have been taken up demo'ing & showcasing brand new tracks for various labels, standout tracks at the moment seem to be the acoustic rocker "Blind" & and (with a slight departure for TBC) the awesome new piano based track "Dissolve".
2003 is going to be tinybluechildren's biggest year yet.
The band also have a FREE internet only EP available to download from WWW.TINYBLUECHILDREN.COM
including "61533" & "Smells Like TV".

The bands newest release is thru Birmingham indie The Shotgun Charlie Label and is a 6 track ep called "Wide Eyed Ideas".

Latest Press...

"Sometimes you hear a band that you can imagine playing
the main stage at the likes of Glastonbury they make
that big a sound...one of those type bands is Tinybluechildren.
Gareth Jones vocal power is obvious and it would come as no suprise if this band was staring out from the magazines by the end of 2004...mixing the best of Travis, REM, Stereophonics with a blend of powerful rock Tinybluechildren create a hybrid of
stunning quality.

TBC will surely break into the national scene within a matter of time.
On the night they attracted the attention of a few management
companies who are desperate to hear more of their unique edge
to pleasing the public.
Fantastic musicianship and excellent songwriting ability are just
two of many credits aimed at TBC.

"Without being extreme tinybluechildren are fast and energetic or slow and mournful, it is all on this CD. There isn’t one on this six track EP that I do not like".
(EP Review, Neil A. Bromley @ NEILS GIG GUIDE 2003)

Here's a positive ep review @ LOGO MAGAZINE !

"At last a band that could and should go all the way, yes they are that good".
"This ep has left me confused, why are these lads still knocking around in pubs when at the very least they should be supporting some of the so-called bigger bands on the national circuit".
(EP review, Xposed Magazine 2003).

"Energising yet embittered, 'Wide Eyed Ideas' shows great promise should the band stick it out long enough to acquire a following to sing along to every word. Once that happens Tiny Blue Children could be chosen by many more as their catharsis of choice".
(EP review, Drowned In Sound.com 2003).

"TBC vocals as always are impeccable and become stronger each time I hear them. The Pearl Jam reference before is a good one and if you like the style, you will love TINY BLUE CHILDREN".
