Citizens of the World, welcome to Jono not Bono!

Southern Big Man has had a name change to Jono not Bono! Currently producing a debut album and so excited about finally getting it out into the world!

Formed around Old Swan in Liverpool, The Varese's music has an edge that reflects the tough, gritty streets from which they came and yet they still deliver great, heartfelt songs, with irritatingly catchy, almost addictive, hook lines. Powerful guitar riffs and punchy bass lines from Hayden, Tallant and Murray provide a solid platform for Andrew's hard hitting vocal style and the chemistry between these Liverpool lad's is clear to see. With a strong and loyal following in their hometown, every Varese's gig is guaranteed to have you rocking, and singing, from the opening riff well into the night!

FORKSTER MUSIC/BAND REVIEW SAYS: "Catchy guitar hooks with beautiful, soulful vocals by Jonny Andrews had me thoroughly enjoying The Varese’s music as well as a total band sound. This was very impressive indie pop music and FORKSTER sees a very bright future for The Varese’s!"

Beer Supply rolled outta the brewery for the first time in 1987. Kept the idea of an original maximum rock'n'roll band alive by recycling some spent grain and growin' some more hops! Now Beer Supply is BACK!! Finally, the first Beer Supply single "Cruisin'" is out now!! Debut album in the works for 2015! Recording at Barrell House Sound in Vancouver....
The band had re-incarnated for some great gigs in 2004-05 (Fairview Pub, Cottage Bistro, Backstage Lounge) and 2006 (West Creek Barn Dance). The Fairview gig on Jan 7, 2012 was a great launch for the latest line-up! Thanks to all that showed up for the party. Now in 2015, we have duo, trio, quartet and six-piece versions of the band! ﻿
