Higsbosun is the experimental ramblings of Sam Mercer, Steven Parratt, Kris Purcell and Craig Owen. We have been playing together as a group for about a year now have a sound all of our own, somewhere between harmony and chaos.
All four members are born and bred in various parts of Liverpool with different experiences and tastes, somehow fused together under the umbrella of music (strange how that happens).
Our roots are firmly embedded in rock, dance and jazz, but we like to mess with the sound and the output is, more often than not, 'interesting'.
If you feel like expanding your tastes, listen to our music, it's Marmite. Lad.

Hiya, please please please take a couple of
minutes to help us out, just watching the video once will be helping =)
Basically we’re trying to get the Drama Queen video to 1 million plays by January 31st, 2010.
We need as many people as possible to get involved with this! So tell everyone,
all your friends (and families) and get them to check out the video for Drama
Queen, maybe watch it a couple of times extra? ;D
In return, when the video hits 1million, the boys will send everyone (who
wants) a CD copy of Drama Queen and signed photo.
For those who want a CD and photo, just drop them an e-mail with your name and
address to contact@thisisbrooke.co.uk
I know a lot of people loved Winch House, and now we need to show Brooke that
everyone is continuing to support them.
So get on YouTube, get watching, invite everyone to join this group, and tweet,
tumbl and send bulletins about this - spread the word guys!!
