After the idea was bounced around for a while, Tales of George officially formed in September 2009 in the sleepy seaside resort of Bognor Regis on the south coast. Long time friends Dan Simons and Terence Wing met bass player James Langridge through mutual friends, and ...after a trip to Bennicassim festival in 2009 it was decided that the trio would set about writing their own songs and start gigging.Recording their first demo within a month, the band started building up a good local following at their gigs. After footage from these local gigs was pieced together and stuck on youtube the lads realised they were building up a good internet following, Playing for about a year as a 3 piece, Dan Simons moved onto lead guitar, and local drummer, Joss Love was recruited, taking the band up to a 4 piece, developing the sound you hear today. With a string of gigs under their belt including a 350 strong crowd packing out the Mud Club, a 4,000 strong crowd supporting bands such as the Automatic and Original bass player Bruce Foxton with his band "From The Jam", followed by local radio plays and a more demos recorded, TOG have found their feet in a punkier style. From Bognor, the band are now looking to hopefully be heard nationwide and hope many will enjoy what they hear ! T.O.G x
