Music Pages

I am a musician from Reading in England: I am the lead singer of the band Static Rain and you might also find me playing acoustically around Reading and its surrounding towns. These pages are here to give you information about gigs, albums and all of the joys of rock and roll.

After years of denial I have eventually manifested myself on MySpace (thanks to Marc Weide for starting me there). If you want to listen to a couple of my songs, find out when I am gigging or delve into my network of friends, you can find me at myspace.com/chrisbeales.

If you have just arrived from MySpace, follow the links at the top of the page to read about aspects of my music. Notice that this is part of my wider website: if you go to my Home page you can get to information about Climate Change and the music night I run at the Corn Stores.

Ragged Valentine and the Album Launch

I am still coming down after the fantastic launch gig for my new album "Ragged Valentine". The gig was amazing! I am so pleased with the way we all played and the wonderful audience who came down to see it. It was an ambitious thing to put together but it worked really well! :o)

My review of the night is up now (follow the Launch Gig link), which has links to video. There are more pictures on the way.

News - 3rd August 2008

Since the launch gig I have been doing a lot of work with Static Rain. The new website is up and running now and our band MySpace is being dusted-off. Oh, and our nice new album is just being reproduced. These are really exciting times.

Next on the list is to arrange a launch gig for Brittle Sky. When this is in the diary, I'll get some more acoustic gigs sorted out.
