Reading Roars!

“Every night and every day it’s alright and it’s ok” goes the chorus in the Anydays‘ new single Rollercoaster, and it looks as if every night and every day it will be ok for the band too, who are steadily attracting attention on their space on, well, MySpace. Well, it worked for the Arctic Monkeys, didn’t it?

Bassist Niall Jeger, a Reading worker and Royals fan, forms one-third of the Oxford-based band (alongside vocalist Drew Atkins and Alex Bridge on the drums), who cite The Kinks, Beatles and La’s as their musical heroes. They played at the Jericho Tavern in Oxford last Saturday and Niall tells me they will soon be entertaining in Jersey. But we want to see them perform in Reading (and later at Reading), don’t we?

Maybe, just maybe, the Anydays will be following other Oxford successes Radiohead and Supergrass on the road to glory.
