The guts of two young owls caught in a cheap office fan.
D'Silva have been together three years and have changed a lot in that time. They are currently recording an album of material both old and new and will be returning to the toilets of London in summer 2008. They have played many of the venues which are the lifeblood of the capital’s live music scene including The Borderline, ULU, Madame JoJo’s, Notting Hill Arts Club (Death Disco), Rhythm Factory, The Enterprise and 12 Bar Club.
Music
In their own words:
“As a band we all have very different influences. Ruth’s background is classical and her idols are David Bowie, Jarvis Cocker and Debbie Harry. Her songs are about love, life, the usual stuff – but spoken with unusual clarity and boldness. Jonny's bass and Will’s guitar tread the fertile lands of pop and new wave while Max's classic piano and keys have finished our sound with an anthemic touch. People find it very difficult to compare us to other known artists which is undoubtedly a good thing.”
PINK 2008 is taking place on Saturday 30th August at Cherry Hinton Hall Cambridge! We're now looking for bands, artists, comedians and more! Email all performance enquiries to acousticstage@hotmail.com all other enquires email info@pinkfestival.com
