   About Assistant
Assistant are a five piece pop group from Brighton who play offbeat, odd and tuneful pop music. They're not sure who they sound like, but are big fans of early Blur, Pulp, Low and the Pixies, amongst other things. Most of their songs are about feeling foolish or lonely, or lazy or drunk. They've played a bunch of gigs in London and Brighton and recorded lots of songs, some of which you can listen to here. If you like them then do get in touch and they'll send you a CD, or ply you with alcohol, or say nice things if you would prefer. The band also run an award winning blog, which you may like.

Ta.

Assistant consists of Pete, Andy, Jonathan, Ali and Anne-Sophie.

Jonathan from Assistant edited this page with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6!
