Crossfader were born of ingenuity. It was a risk; take six minds with a taste for clubbing and very different musical backgrounds, lock in a room with a variety of instruments, rigorously heat over several months and await the outcome. The formula worked and by the beginning of 2007 "good noises" were being produced. And so, with begged and borrowed recording gear, work on The Teacake Sessions began....
The fruit of these sessions are here for you to enjoy. Three tracks recorded to represent the spectrum of music the band create. The live show goes beyond the EP, a rock/pop/clubbing experience all in one. Crossfader are many things, pigeon-hole shaped isn't one of them.
