The Band was formed in 2003 under the name Bank Holiday . It was your standard four-piece and included one more guitarist than the current line-up. At the time, the music played was inspired by Oasis, Blur, the Verve, Supergrass and other bands of the so-called Brit-Pop genre. They played several gigs in Perm City , Russia , and became very popular with a youth that were disillusioned with Russian music. After cutting their first demo, The Band s handiwork was featured on compilation albums released by Matchbox Recordings and the Bliss/Aquamarine Indie Fanzine. In 2004, The Band relocated to London and successfully broke up there for more than a year. After returning to Perm they started gigging regularly again and recording new material. They soon realised that their sound and tastes had moved on from Brit-Pop, and they decided to pare down their line-up to include just one guitar. The remaining band members began to follow the growing influence of bands like the Jam, the Clash, the Kinks, the Libertines, the Who, Small Faces, the Specials, Madness, etc. They also had a great interest in modern Indie-Rock . The Band was renamed the White Trainers Community and changed its course from Brit-Pop to something that could best be described as a mixture of Indie and Mod Revival. The White Trainers Community split their time between London and Perm now, and will be performing a UK Tour in Summer 2007. Read more on Last.fm.
