About

What is Hyde and what is Beast? Hyde is Dave Hyde (Futureheads drummer) and Beast is Neil Bassett (ex-Golden Virgins drummer).

What do Hyde and Beast do? Hyde and Beast record an album. Hyde sing well. Album sound good. Beast happy.

How did Hyde and Beast? Neither of them are sure, but the two drummers recorded the album at Neil's Sunderland-based recording studio at the rate of one song per day, and they managed to produce, record and mix it all by themselves.

David Brewis of Field Music and solo artist Lucas Renney provided some beautiful bass and guitar parts to two of songs on the album and for this Hyde And Beast are forever in their debt.
When playing live, Hyde and Beast become a six-person entity with some very familiar faces from the north east music scene joining them for live excursions.

The album ‘Slow Down’ is a sprawling, gentle psychedelic mess and is due to be released on Tail Feather Records in 15th August 2011.
