Washing dishes is tedious so we formed a band: an indie quartet with an eye for the dancefloor and an ear for, erm, the pleasure of other people's ears.
Since pulling our boots on in December 2006, we've played shows with the likes of Young Knives, Bloc Party, Belle and Sebastian and Alabama 3. They were all fun.
We've gigged up and down this sceptred isle in clubs, cafes, house parties and even in a mucky squat full of dogs on string. They were all fun too, even if some were less hygienic than others.
We've released two singles and quite a few covers on various labels. Take a look to your left to find out what, with who and where you can have a listen.
Lots of people have written nice words about us along the way. Read them all here.
Watch our very first video '2.4'
The song is a 'cheerfully illicit romp' according to BBC 6Music's Tom Robinson. The video is a homage to the works of Bergman, Kurosawa and the Carry On films.

Hellooooo! Looking forward to Saturday night now, it's shaping up extremely well. Did you get my email? And are you alright to bring your own guitar amp and cap? Sorry but I've failed to get my hands on one! Got the bass stuff, a stereo, PA, drum kit and all the other bulky stuff though.
Nach einer schöpferischen Pause in den Sommermonaten konspirieren wir wieder musikalisch an einem der wärmsten, orginalsten, urbansten und freundlichsten Orte unseres beschaulichen Städtchens, dem ZMF am Rosenthaler Platz.

Hi Folks, I'm digging Getaway! cool sound ~ Madness & the Damned influence? I dig it. check out my latest when you get a chance, have a great weekend. Oh wanted to say I also like your picture titled 'Dicking about with balloons'
Yes, it makes me feel bad. My own personal angle on it is to be incredibly apologetic. Its the internet equivalent of doing the big sad eyes thing that dogs do when they want your dinner. Actually, it kind of is begging isn't it? e-Begging. How undignified. Oh well.
