The Story...

In 2006 Charles (Bass and Lead Vocals), Trevor (Lead Guitar and Backing Vocals) and Wesley (Drums and Percussion) got together and started making music that they really enjoyed. Inevetably they wanted to express themselves and share their ideas with other people through the music and decided rather than just sitting around, waiting for the right gig to come along, that they'd put out their own brand of "Drink and Dance" parties, and play shows for pals and pals of pals, staged in odd hotel bars and dodgy sports clubs.

TwoYears later they have already brought out an album, split up, got back together again and are now gapping for more fun party jive times than ever before. These dapper young carnivores of fine music eat up the stage, drawing inspiration from a wide range of diverse musical genres. Sound wise it is hard to pin these guys down, due to their bohemian repertoire of varying music styles that swings from strong Spanish rock to superhero themed disco, to a bit of ska, some honest punk, a bit of funk and good ol' cheesy lounge. For want of a simpler description they have labeled their eclectic musical style as Cocktail Punk.



One thing is for sure though, if you do get to one of their shows you'll be drunk and dancing with their sarcasm and groovability before you've even hit your 10th martini. Hear things! See things! Feel feelings! See THE PRIVATES "international band" live. You won't be disappointed.

To get taste of what they're about, download a song or 2 off their self-titled debut album (THE PRIVATES international band)
