Biography : Sheeduz

Sheeduz was born through a special meeting between three girls - all named Audrey - creating rock music in which spontaneity, rage and softness are mixed.
Sweet and violent melodies illustrate bitter-sweet lyrics, reflecting dark atmospheres, or everyday feelings, taken from dreams or reality.
Musically, drums and guitar (and/or piano) complement and support each other perfectly with heavy guitar riffs, hypnotic or jazzy melodies and strong percussive rhythms.)
Sheeduz has been influenced by bands like Jeff Buckley, PJ Harvey, Queen Adreena, Silverchair, The Dresden Dolls…

February 2004: After a few months, Sheeduz start to play their own songs in bars and small venues in and around Paris.

Summer 2004: They meet Freddy Martineau (Feist, Orishas...) who becomes their Sound Engineer and with whom they record their first 5 track demo: The Barefoot Fairies.
Over 1,000 copies are circulated, broadcast on local and national radios, sold over the Internet and at gigs, giving the band important exposure on the road to becoming known on the rock music scene.

Sheeduz even performs for the first time on French television \'France 3 Région Centre\'.

2005/2006: Live shows are the motor of the band. They play a few important gigs supporting French bands ETHS, Wünjo, or Syd Matters and lots of shows and festivals throughout France.

Sheeduz is selected for ‘Le Printemps de Bourges new talent act 2005', and played the festival ‘La Fête de l'Humanité', thanks to the “Grand Zebrock 2006”. In August, French radio France Culture gives forty minutes to the band in the \'Fuzz\' broadcast.

The band then records its first album \'A frozen moment\' with their sound engineer in Paris. The album is mastered at Studio La Source in Paris.

2007: Sheeduz performs abroad: first in Belgium, then in Spain (Bilbao) for the Bilborock contest. In April, they win the “Rock en Stock” contest, so are going on to play in the festival of the same name with famous French artists like Superbus and Jacques Higelin in July 2007.

Music industry press gets interested: French magazine Rock One writes an article in April.
France 3 Région Centre TV invites them on again for another programme named \'Actuelles\'.

Thanks to their independent approach, the three Audreys have built themselves a good ‘on stage' reputation with around 80 gigs. They are now going to play their first album both in France and around Europe.
