Profile

Formed in 1999, Stereotonics have now built up a reputation as the leading Stereophonics tribute throughout the UK. Just recently, the real band even heard the boys performing and gave them the official seal of approval. This was during a pre-recorded interview on Virgin Radio with Ben Jones. The band were asked about tribute bands and the first name that was mentioned was Stereotonics and when they heard one of their mp3’s they were really surprised and even admitted that it sounded just like them!

Paul, the lead singer even got to meet his heroes at a secret gig that Stereophonics played in London in January 2005. When approached and told that Paul was the lead singer from Stereotonics, Kelly Jones knew exactly who he was and they even had a chat about the new songs and gigs they had both done at the same venue’s throughout the UK.

In addition to this, Stereotonics have also been featured on Radio 1 and were given a title of “one of the best tribute bands in the UK today…” This just about sums up all the hard work and effort the band have put in over the years and is probably testament to one of the hardest working tribute bands in the country.
Language, Sex, Violence, Other? Is the brand new number 1 selling album by Stereophonics and since the bands first number 1 single in February 2005 with Dakota, our phone hasn’t stopped ringing with gigs coming in thick and fast from as far off as Belfast and even a show in Amsterdam.

The Band.
On lead vocals is Paul Higginson, the driving force behind the band. Paul has over the years appeared on several TV and Radio shows playing both his own material and Stereophonics songs. As a performer you will be hard pressed to find anyone as dedicated as Paul when it comes to copying almost every single move that Kelly Jones makes on stage from the way he sways is body to the all out foot stomping which has become a trademark at gigs. Paul has performed at many big festivals and has appeared in front of crowds of no less than 20,000 at a time in recent years and this looks set to be the same as more and more gigs are booked with the new album making huge sales week by week.

On drums is Jodie Hawkes, younger brother of Chesney Hawkes. Jodie has been playing in bands with his big brother since the age of 12. Jodie at present still tours with Chesney and can be seen at every show he does to this day. Jodie is a seasoned professional that has played alongside the likes of Pete Townsend (The Who), Ricky Ross (Deacon Blue), Francis Dunnery (It Bites) to name but a few and has appeared on Top of The Pops on no less than 7 occasions. Obviously Jodie’s C.V. speaks for itself and coming from a musical background – his father is Len “chip” Hawkes of 1960’s super group, The Tremolo’s – he is destined for even greater success in the future.
