Suzerain Win Best Alternative Act at the Indy Awards!

Thank you...

To Jeremy and everyone at the Indy Awards for having us and promoting the bands who work so hard to get heard... You guys organised a great night!!

To Kirk and the gang at the Half Moon in Putney for putting us forward and being a generally fantastic place for live music...

And of course to the wonderful, beautiful, talented and s3xy people who voted for us and who keep coming to our gigs!

We had a great night and the Suzerettes and Suzeroids could be heard cheering us on throughout the night at the Clapham Grand. Then we got hammered and spent the rest of the night watching the bands and playing with the large perspex block that is the Indy Award for Best Alternative Act 2006.

There's lots of photos around our myspace profile here: www.myspace.com/suzerainmusic.

Here's a video of us receiving the award and playing Life on Film...

Thanks again to everyone who came along on the night and cheered the roof down!!!

Hmmm...?

If the price is right you can share a drink with a devil and dance a tango with a god, or a goddess, the best that London has to offer!!!

The drinks are on them...

Happy Christmas From Suzerain!!

Well, it's been an eventful year for Suzerain. This is just a small note of thanks to all of you, who make everything we do worthwhile. Without you guys coming to gigs, downloading our songs and giving us your support - we couldn't do what we do.

Because of you guys we've had an AMAZING 2006! From the great gigs down at Madame JoJos - right up to our first festival appearance at the O2 Festival in Hyde Park. It's been a year to remember...

We've made some fantastic new friends along the way and said goodbye to some brothers who couldn't tread the entire journey with us. No matter what has happened though, you've made us feel welcome and been the best fans and crowds a band could ask for.

2007 sees the dawn of new horizons for Suzerain, taking new steps into new, uncharted territory. We won't, and cannot, stop marching forward, and with your support, we'll march on.

Tom, Rich, Mike, Ben & Matt

SUZERAIN - FREE GIG & AWESOME ARTROCKER REVIEW!!

Hey peeps,

Just a quick one to say we're stepping in to do a last minute gig tonight in Lewisham, at Dirty South (162 Lee High Rd, Lewisham, London, SE13 5PR).

It's an indie/rock night, also playing are Under The Thumb, who are indie/funk/rock. ENTRANCE IS FREE!! Doors open at 7pm, we're on stage at 9pm. Yes we did say it - entrance is free!! So if you're around there tonight you've got no excuse!!

Also, we just got a very cool review in London's Artrocker Mag (Issue 41), below is an excerpt, it's from our last gig at The Underworld with Battlekat and Protocol...

"...I have written here before about Suzerain and I will not dwell further apart from to say that their recent performance as the only unsigned band to play at the Wireless festival has energised them and that they are now so powerful that they make your teeth shake. This is pop that is as hard as Nine Inch Nails. Tremendous!..."

Nice - cheers Artrocker! X

Cool, hope to see some of you swingers in Lewisham tonight!
