Influences
The last "gigs" Mike attended were mostly at the Royal Opera House. Andy says something like "Steve copied me a cd of Upper Room b-sides" and Mike looks at him funny. The next day Mike walks in waving the Long Blondes album, proclaiming it's the best thing ever. Andy looks at Mike funny. Andy retires to his room to play Brahms at the piano.
Martin enters the room, sweaty and delicious from a long day at the construction site, wanting to know where his dinner is. Broadsheets come down and the rest of the band look up, over their spectacles*, and one of them ventures to say "sorry mate; we were busy. The good news is we solved the punctuation debate". A weary Martin proceeds to heat himself a tin of tomato soup. Broadsheets rise, remorselessly. Eventually compassion sets in and someone puts on Biffy Clyro. A serene smile creeps over Martin's face.
The band are woken at 4am by text messages from Andy, informing them that he has written the best song of all time; a ballad, this time NOT inspired by Lil' Kim. Jonathan turns over, thinking "a ballad, eh? We'll see about that" and resumes his dream in binary code. Weeks later eddyfink unleash another upbeat pop masterpiece on the world. Andy retires to his room to listen to Billie Holiday.

Interpol being barebacked by Erasure.

Pillow talk between Sylvia Plath and King Henry VIII.
In 2001, meeting through a love for bright, sparkling, and slightly sinister indie guitar pop, three music graduates and one younger brother formed the greatest band of all time, eddyfink (sorry Coldplay). Come and join us for lessons in genital navigation.

'It is easy to imagine their epic quality ascending above any arena. These are genuinely well crafted songs that grabbed the crowd by the lapels; compelling them to dance and more importantly to listen. Eddyfink have quality written through them. Listen or be damned. LIBERATION FREQUENCY

Don't know if you still visit the place, but just wanted to let you know that your music is always in my ipod (have also found an ADVANCE 2007 PROMO- ALBUM SAMPLER in Camden!)and I can't believe that I actually was at you last gig :-( Well, Marca (the guy you met from the Milan group Ayuhara!) is creating a new group in London, feel free to join in if ever fancy to play a bit! Your influence is upon us! Great band and great Michael who is the most friendly musician ever!! ciao ragazzi!

sorry to hear the bad news, sorry you never toured the states especially California..I was one of the first on your page, at least glad you guys got out there and made a difference...good luck and take care!!!
Truly sorry to hear that Mike, admittedly utterly meaningless coming from a [not so] perfect stranger but heartfelt all the same. Will miss hearing from you, in fact only yesterday I was on the train and sweartogod the Spainish toddler opposite me was including 'fakhin' ell' amongst her babblings having recovered from the initial [and rather poorly disguised] horror on my behalf I started chuckling as the image of a battered Watford FC mug sprung to mind..
Wish you all well, lyk totz OMG lOLZ!!! *Cough* Suspect you'll be glad to see the back of that! x
Hey Guys, Having made the fatal mistake of logging on this morning and reading the bulletin, The news has finally sunk in. Thank you for sharing your music with us all and best of luck with your chosen career paths. *wipes away tears*
OoOOooooCH!...that is really sad news, almost like a bereavement! (gut wrenches!)
Was really looking forward to more tunes, and to attend a gig!
....on a less selfish 'note'...Thanks for the music you gave us, the effort and hours you have all put in, and good luck with everything you all do next!
