Allo, Darlin' is the music of Elizabeth Darling, with a little help from her friends. The first EP, The Photos EP, was released on WeePop Records under the name The Darlings in November 2007, and sold out not long after that. After a spooky email from another band called The Darlings, Elizabeth changed the name to Allo, Darlin'. In 2008 Elizabeth played lots of places, including a very memorable set at the Indietracks festival, and much to her delight joined Darren Hanlon during his set at the End of the Road festival. In December 2008, Allo, Darlin' released another limited edition lo-fi EP but with a Christmas theme, to accompany her first tour around the UK. In June 2009 Allo, Darlin' will be releasing the follow-up to the Photo EP, Henry Rollins Don't Dance, on orange 7 inch vinyl with WeePop again. In July 2009 Allo, Darlin' will be going into the studio to record her debut album for the London indie label Fortuna Pop. In the meantime, Elizabeth regularly posts (very!) rough free bedroom demos of new songs on her website. She also can be seen around the traps playing punk guitar with the reformed Tender Trap, and also writing songs with Paul Rains and Simon Trought for an a capella harmony group called The Beach People.

It was lovely to meet you and thanks for the hug in consolation for my rash behaviour. I do hope we can play together again soon! Though perhaps it would be best for there to be no fat misogynists in the crowd... xxx
