About Me

Keep on Rocking out Forever!!!!!!
Me, Myself, and I
Eightball is

Paul Loughran – Keyboards/Vocals
Ritchie Streng – Lead Guitar/Vocals
Andy Mushet – Bass Guitar/Vocals
Tony McCauley – Drums/Percussion

Hamilton based Eightball were formed in 2005 by Paul, Andy and Ritchie. The band had many drummers but none really suited the bands unique style of music. In 2007, when Andy began a music course at college, he met drummer Tony McCauley. After introducing Tony to the rest of the band and after a jamming session, it was obvious Tony was ideal for the role as drummer. Eightball was finally complete.

With a now complete line up, Eightball began writing together as a band as well as practising the material that was already written. Working together the band produced a collection of diverse material. . Promotion company Original Fires describe Eightball as “dense psychedelic funk, they manage to maintain your curiosity throughout their eclectic set”.

  • The Following Months!!

    Yo Guys

    We will start with, We hope you all had a kickass festive period and Santa was good to you all!!!

    Its been a rather busy festive period for us. We have recently started working alongside Indi Label Subscene Records who have really gave us a kick up the ass and a big shove in the right direction. Our music has recently recieved its first national airplay on radio

    We have also recently been confirmed to play at The O2 Academy on February 20th as part of "The Next Big Thing Competition" and also been confirmed to play at The Biggest Charity Festival of the Year, "Oxjam" which will be the weekend of the 24th of Aug in Wales, so a lot to look foward to.

    As well as these massive gigs on the run up to April, we will also have gigs in Ivory Blacks, and Capitol.

    Apart from Gigs, We will also be making a Video in the coming months as well as uploading our back catalogue on I-tunes,Hmv online and other services, but in the next few weeks we will be returning to the studio to record and you may also shorly see us in The Sun newspaper!!!

    All we can say at the mo is, Look out April, and the charts!!!

    Keep on Rocking guys and thank you all for the support!!

    Eightball, live at Cosmopol, Glasgow - 7 August 2009

    So you get this idea in your head. You've got to find out what's happening in Glasgow. Find out what's new, that sort of thing. Six bands on the bill at Cosmopol. That'll do nicely. Get the old head count up. Only three of them have pulled...
