Centeenials are an indie rock and post-punk revival band from Huddersfield, United Kingdom. They have been active from 2006, releasing two CDs, a 3-track demo entitled 'Wake Up Call' and a 5-track EP, 'Disorder'.
Contrary to popular belief, their name does not include 'The'; they are simply known as Centeenials.
The band have recently been confirmed to appear at the 2007 Huddstock Festival in June.
The Dream
The band formed 15 months ago after a strange "dream" each of the five members had on the 3rd November 2006. The dream, they say, is what first brought them together. However, a pact each band member made means that none of them are allowed to discuss the dream with "outsiders" or something rather dreadful will happen. Front man Luke Granata and bassist Thomas Wigley have spoken of the dream in an interview with a local paper, without going into too much detail:
"'Yeah, it was a dream that brought us together' said Luke. Thomas Wigley also added, 'Yes...a dream...I remember that', whilst looking around in confusion." The Huddersfield Daily Examiner 2006
Dream experts believe that Bob Marley spoke to them in the dream and told them to create the band. They also believe James Watson, in the dream, had a "jamming" session with Bob Marley which inspired their first single, "Stay Here" (2006).
The band members remain tight-lipped on "the dream" phenomenon and it is likely that the true contents of the dream the band members all shared on the 3rd November 2006 will never be known to those outside the band.
