Shading Light (Band)


Shading Light is a school band formed in Mid 2011. Consisting of three members, Jade Gordon Vocals, Jamie Platts Guitar, Gregor Milligan Piano. The band is an inner school band, the band is from Outwood Academy Valley.

The band was formed after Platts' previous band "Shoot 2 Kill" broke up after a disagreement between to founders Platts and Alexander Storey. The band held auditions for Bass, Drums, Piano and Vocals, after the auditions Storey and Platts agreed on having Milligan on piano, but an argument evolved after a disagreement on the singer, Storey wanted close friend Callum Whitehouse to sing, but Platts wanted Jade Gordon on the mic, after the founders couldn't agree on a singer and Whitehouse refused to sing alongside Gordon, the band broke up, Storey continues studying music but does not have a band, Platts, Gordon and Milligan stayed as a band, naming them selves "The Scene" but when they discovered the band "Selena Gomez and the Scene" they changed the name to "Deep Purpl3". After a few months of being Deep Purpl3, the three returned to school after the summer holidays they had a rehearsal as a band. In early october Platts and Gordon where discussing song options when Platts had an Idea and said "HEY LIGHTBULB!". Gordon now uses Lightbulb as her nickname. Jade replied "I'm not a lightbulb, lampshade" (Lampshade is now Platts' nickname), the next day when Gordon asked Platts what he was up to, Platts replied "Nothing Much, just shading light, hbu?", they then decided to name the band "Shading Light". The group covers three songs, The Script - For The First Time, Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars and Toby Keith - Made In America.
