tigs, will & james formed CHEW LiPS in london in early 2008.
they wrote ten songs in the first rehearsal & played their first gig at a new cross house party. they have now done 15 'proper' shows & can be found playing their 8-bit drone disco / space synth pop at hipster nights in london, paris & beyond.
the first gigs & home demos have earned CHEW LiPS rave reviews from blogs, artrocker, a times online track of the day feature, loads of radio play, a steve lamacq radio 1 session, a place in the bbc electric proms & a prime slot at huw stevens' swn festival...
tigs sings & stalks the stage, while will and james wrestle casiotone beats from a drum machine & make a joyful racket on pretty much any instruments they can lay their hands on.
A sign at the pub said Please Respect Our Neighbours And Leave Quietly. I was noisily humming your song Salt Air when I left, and I suddenly got clonked on the head by an old shoe.
