"Faulkner just fucking do it and do it better than anyone you might care to think of or mention. They play their version of epic so tightly it's like bark on a tree, the sole on a shoe."

"Nowhere you would have heard of": it's an apparently innocuous answer to the simple question of where Faulkner are from. A lack of place, however, is a defining theme in the band's work and one about which they are keenly aware.
"I think if where you're from has no particular identity, then that nothingness defines you - it's a part of you", says Chambers. "We're all from places which are barely on the map, and you either accept it or you harbour a desire to fill that space".
This sense of lack is one which unites the four members of Faulkner, who formed in 2005 and have since relocated to London - "the natural destination, for now", notes Weeks - to record and perform new material.
The city has provided impetus for the band to challenge what frontman Rollins calls the "vacuum of ambition" of a nowhere town. Their work is littered with evidence that "music which inspires us comes from bands and musicians who are searching for something rather than the ones relying on their lifestyle or location to succeed".

Mama Shamone http://www. myspace. com/mamashamone “Put Mama Shamone on at any venue and they are likely to take the roof off, this was one of the best live shows I’ve seen in years - certainly one of the best in London. In my opinion these guys are destined for greatness, it felt like I was witnessing history being shaped-something was just so right about what they were doing up there.” Vibe Bar

Come join us! Lets ply ourselves with enough alcohol to sink a small Oliver Reed.
Hello there,
We're playing this Friday, February 8th, at Christchurch & Upton chapel, 1A Kennington Road, London, SE1 7QP. The nearest tube is Lambeth north.
Doors open at 8pm, also on the bill are Paperplain and the wonderful Sandra and the Memory Machine.
And as if it couldn't get any better, it's only 2 quid to get in!
Hope to see you there...
