Brandon says that firstly he is a SILK PIG..
One of the hardest working bands to emerge from the UK. The Silk Pigs blend passionate lyrics with rock and roll and come out smelling of bacon. We love them and think you will to. Check out their classic track "In Tents Humming". We guarantee you'll be singing it for the rest of the year...Available to buy on itunes.
The band has been together since October 2007 and hail from Halsall, Wigan and Widnes.
They play their own material and have recorded a demo EP which is online on the band's Myspace site. Check out there myspace site below..

The Silk Pigs have been slinging their bacon all over the north west, Channel M live show on Breakfast TV in Machester on Jan 5th, THREE once a month residencies confirmed (Fluid Live Lounge - St Helens, The Boulevard in Wigan and Bumper - Liverpool) A deal offer from Bizarre Artists that we turned down for reasons of our own, SJP promotions have offered to get our album done and packaged for free, we got a top man in Frank Hedges helping us get out there giggin ( we love u frank!!!) and of course, more and more people joining in with the fun every gig....and have a possible tour of Europe looming with the Frank Zappa Foundation.
Thursday we recorded a documentary on the pigs for the national French Channel 5. The show filmed us in an apartment in Liverpool then during a recording session at Igloo studios featuring interviews with the band and our thoughts on the Liverpool scene, The obligatory Beatles question and of course our history and aspirations. The show will be going out sometime over the next two weeks on French National TV to millions and we will be sent links to the show online soon, when we have it, you have it. Unbelievable eh?
To add to this beautiful time in the pigs life, Rash Records of Liverpool have recently been working with us through promotion and publicity, as well as giving us nice large slots at the beautiful Pilgrim (last night was a corker, thanks guys!). Rash Records have managed to secure some radio play for the pigs. After many emails and calls, Rash managed to get Steve Lamacq to listen to In Tents Humming. After hearing the track, Steve agreed to play it on his show 'In New Music We Trust' on BBC Radio One on Monday 18th May, Sometime between 21.00 and 22.00. Obviously, this is a big deal for the pigs, coming at a perfect time too given that our gig list is quite full and meaty and that, after many Sunday / week night gigs in London, Powers bar In London have finally given us a Saturday night (May 23rd). This could hopefully be something to write home about. We know we love what we do and have found some quality people come out and support us. We have also now confirmed Frank Hedges as the band's manager. Frank has been working tirelessly getting the pigs known. He secured us our first taste of Live TV on Channel M in January, He secured the French National TV stuff and studio recording paid for by the French, he also managed to help us get 3 residencies and countless other things. We just want to say thanks to Frank and everyone for their love and appreciation, it's mutual baby!
