Kodeta is an up-and-coming rock and dance band from a small town in Norfolk, England. The band started when lead singer and guitarist Jace Gilkes and drummer Andrew Todd were 15 years old, joining with bassist Jack Teare. Though from a small musical town, the band has worked their way up from small venues to bigger stages. The members are excited for an upcoming show at Norwich UEA, their biggest venue yet, hoping fans beyond just their mothers will attend.

1. Kodeta is an all rock and dance band on their way back from
a bad start. This allowed them to do nothing but move
forward with their music playing at small venues each time
taking a step up the ladder to become harder and better of
which I and all their fans would call the under dogs. Kodeta
lead singer and guitarist Jace Gilkes started the band when
he and his two best friends, Andrew Todd the drummer,
were only fifteen with, bass guitarist Jack Teare. They came
from a small town in the corner of Norfolk called Dereham;
it’s not the biggest music venue in the world for the band but
they have made something from it.

2. Jace, aged 22, is what the guys call the lady’s man of the
band he constantly going home with new women. The girls
say it’s not his looks so I’ll let you ponder on what it could
be? He can definatly sing with the high guys such as Patrick
Monahan, from the American band train, Kelly Jones, from
the brilliant welsh band stereophonics. Andrew Todd the
youngest of three and probably the smartest of his band
mates left school with 10 GCSE none lower than B’s what
does that tell you? He also left college with four A Levels and
should have gone to university but took a chance on the
band and what a chance he took.

3. Jack the base guitarists and backing vocalist and the quietest
of the four can also play the drums and keyboard and wants
to learn to play the saxophone his mousey brown hair and
gorgeous but good luck if you want him? This guy can play
the guitar like no other and has had offers from other bands
for his mad skills and ability but he stayed and thank god for
it. He has easily got the rhythm but what you don’t know is
he used to play for less than sixteen’s for Norwich City but
left to find out why go to the Interviews.
The mischievous bunch is constantly pulling the pranks on
each other but the victims are always the guys who are
helping them weather it is the backstage guys or their
manager. When I interviewed them this is what they said.

4. “Kodeta how are you guys feeling towards the show you will
be playing this week end”
Jack – “wild we can’t wait for the this show which is Norwich
UEA but it will be wild we don’t know what to expect”
Andrew – “I think we will play a great show for the fans were
feeling great and really hope someone comes to it instead of
just are mums (sniggering)” Jace – “We are excited its going
be a big venue our biggest I think”
“What are your plans after Leeds are you going to finally
release that new
single”
Jace – “Well usually
you release the single
and then the album
but due to some
problems with our
record producers. So
we decided to do the
tour anyway and
release after. Jason –
“Yes at least I hope
we will all find out
soon enough”
