PART-TIME HEROES

The Part Time Heroes are two undisclosed young musicians currently residing in the leafy suburbs of Southampton. As this part-time shop assistant and part-time sandwich deliveryman, plan to convert their part-time music careers into full-time employment. Both heroes have a deep history in a variety of genres, sharing influences from Miles Davis to John Martyn to The Clash, and both now share the same landlord. Their eclectic and fresh journey over different tempos, incorporating live instrumentation, deep jazz roots and organic soul nourishing goodness. Having held their music down, working away juggling day jobs, they've managed to remix the likes of Wallis Bird (Island/Universal) Monday Michiru (ArtistShare) Citizen Cope (Wah Wah), Fried (RCA), Jamie Finlay (Wah Wah), Baker Brothers, Up Hygh (Tru Thoughts), MJ Cole (Prolific) and Instrumental (Big Chill Recordings). The Double award winning BBC Jazz Artist of The Year 2005 Liane Carroll has also contributed her jaw dropping vocals to their recordings and Radio 1s worldwide tastemaker Gilles Peterson who's heavily supported them on his show, recently described them as a "Jazzier Zero 7" and went on to say "I highly rate them, watch out for them". Having performed live on the main stage at this year's BIG CHILL festival, rocked London's Cargo and YoYo, Jazz Cafe and KoKo venue's with their 7 piece band, they’ve also DJ'd at selected spots through Europe and recently turned out a superb BBC Maida Vale live session on Gilles 'Worldwide show', earning them TWO nominations at the 2006 GP Worldwide Awards.Current fans and supporters include Gilles Peterson, Zane Lowe, Benji B, Mr. Scruff, Ras Kwame (1Xtra), Nightmares On Wax, The Unabomber’s, Patrick Forge, Michael Stukes (NYC), Michael Ruetten (Compost), Kev Beadle and top taste-maker DJ Junior (Philly, USA). With recent rotation on Radio 1, 1Xtra, Kiss 101, Kiss 100, Smooth FM and XFM... All I know is after hearing their music and meeting them in person these Heroes won’t stop till their work is done.

Colin says, 'To be releasing tracks on the same label that Justin Robertson and FC Kahuna are on is a dream in the present'. We should think so too!
