From: Leeds, West Yorkshire

Parva are...

Ricky - singer
Simon - bass
Whitey - guitar
Peanut - keyboards/guitar
Whitey - guitar
Nick - drums

Parva started in the summer of 2000, we quickly got interest from a publishing company, the A&R man from there helped us get a deal. We'd only done about 5 gigs when we were offered a deal by Mantra/Beggars Banquet. We signed in the summer of 2001 and since then we've been recording and touring. We've released 3 things so far: a limited edition 7" - 'Heavy', 'Good Bad Right Wrong' (which has had lots of airplay, especially in Germany?!?) and Hessles. Hessles is the current single, released 28/10/02

Influences

Nirvana, Sex Pistols, Blur(before Graham left), Sonic Youth, Pixies, Beatles. All those exciting bands!

Future Plans

More touring because we love it! Bigger audiences! Sold out venues! Lots of cheering!
