Che share their passion in Stourbridge


INDIE pop band Che say they aim to share their passion for making music with fans from around the UK.

The five-piece Worcester band have already caught the attention of industry insiders after reaching the last 14 of last year’s Surface Unsigned event before returning to the studio to record their debut LP.

Successful gigs in 2009 have helped the band scoop a slot on the main stage at Cheltenham’s 2000 Trees festival playing alongside artists including Fightstar and Rolo Tomassi.

To prepare for their big day out, Che are playing at the Base Studios in Stourbridge on Saturday June 27 and Birmingham’s O2 Academy 3 on Wednesday July 1.
