Check out a review of our performance in the Croydon Advertiser :0)


Friday, November 26, 2010, 08:00


X Marks The Spot As Music Makers Await The Lights


Croydon talent proved it had the 'X'mas Factor on Thursday, November 18, when loc
al stars took to the stage for an afternoon of free, family entertainment in the run-up to the switch-on of Croydon's Town Centre's new Christmas Lights.
More than 15 different acts wowed the crowds visiting Croydon Town Centre for their Christmas shopping. They all performed from a giant stage erected between the Whitgift and Centrale Shopping Centres, provided by Croydon Town Centre Business Improvement District (BID), the company which represents, and is funded by, the town centre's businesses.
Local hero Mikel brought his raw energy to the event with some early lunchtime excitement, and the crowds steadily grew throughout the day; RnB brothers 308, described as 'the next JLS' were mobbed by fans on leaving the stage, where they performed their hits Superhero and All On You, and stayed to sign autographs

Hey peeps just checking in to let you know what we've been up to lately!

On November 18th we performed at Croydon's Christmas Lights Switch On event and had a BLAST! It was absolutely chappin but we made some new 308 fans while we were there so it was all worthwhile :0) It was a bit difficult getting off stage and to the car in one piece though cos we got mobbed afterwards lol! But we love our fans so much so staying behind for pictures and autographs is the least we can do ;0) Check out some of the pics from the event below xx

A couple of days later, we spoke with the delicious Tracy Clark of Venture Radio (http://www.ventureradio.co.uk/ or email tracyclark@ventureradio.co.uk).  She is a really cool lady and it was a good chatting with her.

Even if you missed the interviews, you can still request 'Superhero' or 'Song for Love' with any of the presenters we have had interviews with over the past few months.

Talented 308 Fan :)

                          

The other day, a 308 fan called Annabel asked us to check out her vids on youtube and we were really impressed so we thought we'd post one! This is her singing Amy Winehouse's classic 'Valerie'- check it out xx

This is a TRUE 308 fan right here :)

                                   

We just thought we'd post this vid because it's one of the sweetest things that any fan has ever done for us! & in return we're sending BIG kisses from us both to our girl Emma Shannon ;0) xx

If anybody else wants to do any video tributes or anything- we'll post those too. Love you ALL :0)

Tuesday's radio interview in Little Hampton

So on Tuesday we were back on the motorway- this time for an interview with Steve Flynn for Venture Radio in Little Hampton! It was the funniest interview we've had for a while- he's a proper joker lol & a cool guy :0) Make sure you guys tune into that interview! Normally we try not to let our Saaaaaaf Laaaandaaan accents come out too much so people out of town understand what we're saying but because Steve's a bit of a geezer too it just slipped out! The word 'think' became 'fink', and the word 'something' turned into 'sumink' HILARIOUS looool. We got shoutouts done as well for all the peeps who asked on Twitter ;0) Check out some pics below:


Deore (Left), Steve Flynn (centre) & Shay (right)

Oh & make sure you tune into that interview on September 4th at http://www.ventureradio.co.uk/

Monday in Melton Mowbray!

We kicked off our week with a radio interview at 103 The Eye FM in Melton Mowbray! It went really well & Dennis Harby (the presenter) was a cool guy so we thought we'd sing a little accapella while we there too. Oh ye, we each got to pick a song to be played live on air & Shay picked wait for it... yep you guessed it Craig David 'Fill Me In' & Deore picked Usher 'Pop Ya colla'... TUUUNAGE! We could so be Djs- don't ya think? lol!

Someone told us that Melton Mowbray is famous for its pies but we still just ate McDonalds when we got there... STANDARD lol!  We're so cultured lol. It was a nice little town though. It defo made a change to drive past cows in fields rather than drunkards sat on the pavement- which we see everyday in London lol. So all in all well worth the journey ;0)

If you missed the interview then make sure you catch it again on www.103theeye.co.uk/index/htm on the VoxRox show

DOPE NEWS!! :)

We kicked off our Friday with a lil Reya Sunshine!!

Yo what's good peeps?!


Just checking in! We kicked off our weekend with an interview with the lovely Reya Sunshine on Westside Radio (89.6FM) on Friday as part of her weekly show on inspirational people. Did you guys manage to tune in? It was a DOPE interview! Westside's listeners loved Superhero & we really appreciate the support!


This interview was defo an eye-opener though too, because we've never really thought of ourselves as being inspirational to anyone before so it was cool to be seen in that light :) It made us aware of the fact that if other young people or up and coming artists view us in this way, then we can being do a lot more! So thanks to Reya, we're looking into ways of giving back; maybe as mentors or through charity work- that sort of thing. What do you guys think?


Oh yeah, make sure you catch our girl Reya presenting on West London's Westside Radio every Thursday and Friday from 2pm. She's also a published writer with The Guardian and RWD Magazine and the Editor of a youth arts and culture magazine, so make sure you look out for her work peeps ;-)
